Wireless White Gerbera Daisy hidden CCD camera
The miniature CCD camera is skillfully built into the centre of an artificial flower head while a 500mm cable acts as the flowers stem and feeds the signals down to the electronics and battery which are tucked away inside a small black box hidden in the vase.
The system is completely wirefree and remote controlled so the batteries will only be used when you command the camera to transmit or an automatic trigger activates the recorder.
Comes complete with a miniature microphone which provides crystal clear audio pickup.
I'll set the device in the bushes near our feeders. Come April and the blighters are back in town, I'll get the goods on 'em, such as are gettable at anyrate.
Will also pour a Bud in the mix. On the first belch, I'll be back. Til then, hang loose.
(BTW, do butterflies really hiccup, or is that just sales crap?)
Whoa!!!! Well done.
If you wanna know about butyterflies, I suggest a different thread.
But what if the hummers only burp BETWEEN flowers?
I don't give a toss about butterflies. I was just asking in case the seller is trying to stiff me.
And I don't much care what the hummers get up to between the flowers. My bouquet is going to be right beside the feeder, which will be loaded with my Budweiser-laced concoction. Once the hummers get a load of that, they'll say "Bother the flowers that bloom in the spring! This is the real stuff."
All I have to do now is get hold of the 260 quid, plus 17.5% V.A.T. and shipping from Blighty.
I nearly opted for a frog @ £140, but it doesn't come with a recorder, which makes it of no use at all, since I don't plan to hide in the bushes myself. Before I'd stoop to that, you could answer you own damn question.
This is a lightweight plastic frog with the camera hidden in its rotatable head.
The frog is looking down so its ideal for placing on a high shelf with just the head looking down.
Rotating the head will allow you to get the exact view you need.
Alternatively by fitting the two window suckers he can be fixed to the inside of any window looking out on your garden or drive - superb camera disguise.
Compatable with all our receivers and recorders.
