I’m getting the prototype PCB’s made up, hopefully these will allow me to put my first camera into production.

The main goals of these cameras is long duration event triggered surveillance.
Current systems that are supposed to achieve this are aimed at the hunting market, where visual size and start-up time are not an issue.
In remote human surveillance, the demographics of the target make development of these devices difficult.
In catching poachers, vandals and trespassers – capturing photos and video that allow for facial recognition is the main goal.

The security system runs on 12v power, which means any solar panel, car battery, and other power generating paraphernalia can help sustain the unit for months.
The sensors are completely removable and customisable. The sensor design is open, so that anyone can add-on pressure sensors, infra-red sensors, noise sensors etc.

Will have some photos of development soon.

So for the meantime, I’ve removed the backtrack images. I’ll be keeping the S-T-D and BCCD images up.
