There are several models of game or trail cameras available, many of which have relatively high resolution. If you are looking for something that has the kind of resolution found with a dslr, a search for an intervalometer should reveal several products that might fit your needs if you have a dslr and a tripod. Given your field requirements, the game cameras might be the way to go, and may not stand out as much as a gopro, which may be advantageous if they will be placed in high traffic areas.
Good luck and I hope this helps, Colin On Dec 22, 2015 09:19, "Garrett, Patrick" <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear colleagues, > > > > I am interested in doing some small scale time-lapse photography of > inflorescence development in a greenhouse this summer.
