Battery powered, motion activated camera.
hi folks, i'm new forum , using arduino. have got starter kit , working through tutorials on now. first project put battery powered motion activated camera, ir night shots suppose. have not made start on yet still going through tutorials. have no experience of electronics or programming, thats about!
so first of looking on components. need power arduino uno, take pics , store them. what cameras suited , ir boards?
i have shopping list of components think might suitable on sparkfun, , have number of instructables have gone on show general steps in how others made similar devices.
i'm looking have general chat project experienced people , discussion going. , have fun doing
what spurred me on kind of thing love photography , lot of hill runnning. near live in ireland there quite lot of wild deer , goats in hills, see lot of tracks , have spotted them few times. have spotted many king fishers feeding along river never been able close , shots of them. i'm hoping better way me shots of them without disturbing them, , learn more arduino, electronics , programming whilst doing it.
so thats now,
thanks,
paddy

hi paddy , welcome.
if want take shots of wildlife camera module designed attached arduino going disappointment. low resolution/quality, slow shutter, etc. arduino not able deal volumes of data decent camera produce.
so suggest buying decent quality inexpensive digital camera (amazingly cheap these days), preferably 1 has remote shutter release facility of kind. water/weatherproof model advantage. on cameras remote shutter release wired connection, or via ir remote control. design arduino circuit detect movement, possibly using passive ir motion detector, , trigger camera.
if can't find cheap camera remote shutter release, possibility make frame camera fits, , attach small servo motor (controlled arduino) short arm can depress shutter release.
the arduino , camera have own separate batteries. long battery life, avoid using arduino's on-board voltage regulator, , instead power directly +5v connection perhaps 4xaa rechargeable pack (nothing on 5.5v!).
once have whole thing working, including sketch, can increase battery life further modifying sketch use "sleep" library.
