Remote Camera Has Auto Shut Down MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 29-5-16 Remote cameras are great for everything from checking on livestock to checking on kids. A big problem with them is battery replacement, because a dead battery means a dead camera. This new camera system from Wireless Imaging may have the answer.
"Our camera system will run for several months on three AA batteries," says Scott Jezierski, company president. "There are other systems that operate on batteries, but none that last as long. Most can only operate for a few hours before needing to replace the batteries."
The secret to the system is automatic shut down and remote control of on and off. It was initially developed to mount in a mailbox to monitor mail arrival, so only limited use was needed.
"We've had a ton of people contact us about applications of everything from child monitors to mini-storage security to assisted living," says Jezierski.
The $199.95 price includes an AC power adapter for locations where power is available. A 9-volt battery clip that allows the camera to operate continuously for several hours is also included.
Dual lock fasteners on the camera unit allow it to be moved from place to place. Auto shut down can be adjusted from 10 seconds to longer than 5 minutes. Maximum range is 300 ft. from camera to receiver, but the most reliable distance is 100 to 150 ft.
A user simply plugs the receiver jacks into a television set and attaches an antenna. The receiver plugs into a standard wall outlet. Then the camera is placed wherever you want it. The images show up on your TV.
"We're looking at adding motion sensors and also hooking it up to the internet for remote monitoring," says Jezierski. "Right now, we are getting the core unit out and plan to enhance it with customer feedback."
