Hi all,
I was wondering if you could give me some advice on a simple project I'm starting?
Basically I've been tasked by the Mrs to setup a web cam with night vision so she can view her chickens in their coop at night.
Here's the camera: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wireless-WIFI-IP-Camera-IR-11-LED-Night-Vision-Webcam-/140638723025
It runs off 5v so should be fairly easy to power.
I'm guessing I need a solar panel and a 6v battery.
The battery needs to charge during the day and power the camera during the night. (I guess the cameras power supply will be controlled via an LDR?)
Any pointers on parts I need would be very helpful!
