It is a weather resistant camera that comes with 100 feet of cable. It has infrared lights so it will work at night. Pretty good for $28. The box is sitting in the doorway and I haven&#8217;t opened it, yet.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think that 100 feet will make it back to the bees from the computer in the cellar, but I can maybe add some more cable. I am not sure if I have to also string electric. My brother Ward says that he bought one at Harbor Freight that uses a hacked RJ11 cable with two of the wires carrying power. I could, I guess,get an RJ11 extension cable ($1.49 cents at the 99 cent store), although the signal might degrade if I stretch it too far. I&#8217;ll find out when I open the box.<\/p>\n<p>I might have to make a shelter for the camera. It says <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">weather resistant<\/span>, which means that rain might destroy it.<\/p>\n<p>This camera is made to plug into a vcr or monitor so I have to find an adapter that can turn it into a web cam. I want to able check bees from work or my desk. I also want to use the motion detector software to capture a series of images if anything moves so I will have some idea of who is hurting my bees.<\/p>\n<p>I have not been happy with webcam software in the past. They did not seem to work well when I tried to create a cat cam. This camera might wind up as a bird cam or back door cam if I can&#8217;t get it back to the bees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bought this camera from Buy.com.
