The Batinator is a portable Raspberry Pi that uses a PinoIR (No Infrared Filter) camera module to record video in the dark at 90 frames per second, 640×480 resolution. It features a 48 LED infrared illuminator on top and the power is provided by a re-purposed 12v rechargeable drill battery. I’ve recently become fascinated by the bats that visit our garden of an evening and built this to try and catch the little beauties on film.
