For a long time I've really wanted to get stuck in with a Raspberry Pi project and the My Naturewatch Camera has been something I've been meaning to make for AGES. This video is a detailed step by step instructional video, something that I couldn't find online. So I hope that this, alongside the amazing mynaturewatch.net website, will encourage you to build your own and get spying on your local wildlife!

It's incredible how Raspberry Pi can be all sorts of things, and TIL that it can power a camera too! Hopefully, the crack originating from the drilled hole or any other parts of the container don't end up causing water damage. Anyway, that's so cool. One more thing to keep in mind just in case I'll need a Raspberry Pi for something later down the line 🙂

Really nice. I have similar feeders and a spare Pi so I'll give it a go. I need to get a Pi Cam so I'll try for one with good resolution. I have a Pi and Pi camera that I use for 3D printing and that camera has no IR filter so I'll need to be careful with the one I'll buy for this project. Nice one Maddie, thanks.

We definitely want to see you do more projects, this is a great way to encourage girls into coding/making! What about future projects like musical instruments with a makey makey, or some kind of bedroom alarm to stop little brothers or sisters from sneaking in and stealing your books (it's always the Faraway Tree that goes walkies here!).

I want to do the same for some squirrels I feed, but with video. I'm very afraid of how much data it's gonna make. Also it would be a lot nicer to set mine up to my network so that I don't have to change wifi's just to get the data.

@richardwilkinson77 3 жыл бұрын

This is great but does anyone have any idea... Would it be possible to change the software to enable viewing remotely over the Internet? How might I do this? Presumably would have to connect to home WiFi and assign a static IP address somehow.

Sad its only a home-based camera. Wildlife means outside and outside means no wifi. And all solutions i found on the internet yet are such things. It would be great to have a 'real' mobile camera which saves the data on a sd-card... Like a 'offline' solution. And not wifi...
