Busheyes And Finkoflex

If you have a need or desire to spy on people or animals, come on down. We've got just the things for you. The trail camera concept is a one that a lot of people can share. Hunters, farmers, wildlife researchers, and security-minded individuals who may have valuable crops growing in inaccessible portions of state forests spring to mind. In all these cases the photographer cannot be on-site all day, every day - nor can they afford to keep the cameras rolling 100% of the time in hopes of seeing Big Foot, Yowies, or Judge Crater pass by the lens. A selective sentry is needed. This is where the Minox trail cameras come in. Minox has long been famed for tiny cameras and excellent binoculars. Now they have unattended photo stations that you can place in bushland and forests to monitor and record activities for you. The reason they work is better battery performance these days, micro recording media, and circuitry that can monitor activity over a specified area and start recording when movement is detected. A number of these cameras have black-LED flashes that are undetectable by humans and animals. Long bursts are possible on some and single shots are remarkably detailed. The casings are robust and weatherproof, allowing you to safely leave them on duty for weeks. The attachment structure at the back allows for a strap or wire tie to a tree or other structure, and like our reticulation and pool control boxes, you can padlock it shut. And like the retic, there is a detailed set of instructions on the lid for when you cannot figure it out. The camo pattern on the front is not exactly Western Australian bush but is probably close enough for most purposes. The tree-trunk one - the DTC 460 - is definitely a northern-hemisphere pattern. I look at it and see owl, and I wonder if the little critters would do so as well. Might frighten them off. Speaking of frightening - have a look at the box containing the Brinno Time lapse Construction Camera. I can only assume that it does what it says on the tin; takes time lapse images of a specific scene over hours and days. These can then be played back in normal time to trace the progress of the build. Note the padlock provision to keep it locked on and looking. Fine, if you set it up to watch yourself lay out a garden bed or paint a house. Fine if you set it watching you strip and reassemble a truck engine. You want to see you and you can work as fast or as slow as you wish. As Effie would say - how amuse... But consider the reaction of hired workers seeing this green box watching them on a trade or building site. Watching, watching, watching. They might not be able to poke a foreman in the eye with a shovel handle but I'll bet there would be a few of these cameras that suffer " accidents ". Whoops-a-daisy.
