Robin Nest Video: Tyler's Tech Talk
Our Bird cam project requires special equipment, hardware,
software, and the knowledge to put it all together. We are doing this
to learn about robins and hoping that we can get a robin building a nest.
As of right now, we have two cameras, one in an owl box and one on a robin
platform. Those cameras are wired to a switch box in the school. This
box has different outputs in the back that allow us to view different
cameras at the same time. The monitor allows us to adjust the picture
and color. The monitor attaches to the Time Lapse V.C.R. that records
the image in pictures at different speeds. That is connected to another
V.C.R. that records stream video. The V.C.Rs record onto tapes that can
be put in the computer by a special device called ?Dazzle Digital video
creator.? On the PC, we can put those videos or images on a website, which
will also have more info on robins.
