I needed a camera for my greenhouse, and decided to get the cheapest camera I could find on Amazon. It carries a famous brand name, Coleman, but obviously it is a Chinese no-name with the Coleman logo pasted on it. It cost $39.34. It did come with a nice mount to screw it to a wall, which I am planning on using inside the greenhouse...with a different camera (the Gardepro). The Coleman images seem especially soft on the left side, and I don't think it is just because that's the distant part of this image.
This is the latest shot of the Greenhouse interior, taken with the Gardepro. To minimize the constant glare, I'll try mounting it higher up/further to the right and point it down and back toward the middle. Basically it is a security camera. The outside camera will capture all the deer, turkeys and (maybe) moose and bears. For that, I'm planning on using my best camera, the newest Reconyx.
Unless there is a snowstorm, next week I will collect my five cameras from the woods. After I clean them and make sure all the batteries are charged, I'll put three of them back out there. That gives me seven cameras I can use in town, but there's this crappy Coleman and the always-crappy Primos, and two extremely old Brownings included in that number. Here's my preliminary plan, with the best cameras in bold:
- Woods
- Reconyx #7
- Reconyx #2
- Browning #11
- House
- Browning #15
- Browning #5
- Browning #6 aka the Melted Browning
- Primos #4 (sometimes useful for video, not stills)
- Greenhouse
- Reconyx #19 (outside facing the front)
- Coleman #20 (outside, off to one side)
- Gardepro #14 (inside)
