I'm starting a project where I'd like to use a few fixed cameras at known wading bird foraging locations to take photos at fixed intervals (probably hourly, daylight only) to use for ID and counts. Does anyone have a favorite timelapse camera that can be used in the field (waterproof or housing available) with a decent image (HD not required but will need image clear enough to ID species), relatively wide field of view (I plan to elevate the camera to increase this) and is somewhat affordable (say <$200)? Battery life is also an important factor for us as locations will be somewhat remote. (ability/software to stich photos together is not needed)
Any recommendations or tips on what will NOT work will be appreciated! I'd be happy to compile responses and re-post if others are interested. Thanks in advance! -Shawn ([email protected])
