Hey all. I finished up my first cam on Saturday afternoon and I put it out Sat at 5PM. I took it down today at noon. So it was up a total of 19 hours and it brought in its first pics. It is a D-360L with a Pix U board in a 1060 case. This is damn addicting. Sorry about the blurs, I had a rather bad smudge on the lens.

Nice work Trev! Couple of questions for ya...

1. Did you hardwire the camera for your setup?
2. Does the camera have to power up, open the lens and focus everytime there's motion, or can you set things so that the shutter is always open?

This one, being my first is a Plug and Play. It was very simple. The cam has to be poered up on every shot, but the lens stays open on this cam, so it is fast. I think you can set the board to keep the camera powered up for marginally faster photos, but it is a battery eater in that mode.
