Following the construction of my trailcam, I’ve created a new version that is also hand held. The intention is to use it as a normal trailcam as before (leaving it in position and triggering the video / light via sensor), as well as using the IR lamp & camera to view wildlife in the dark via the screen.
The main construction comprises of a 12v IR lamp from a security camera along with a pi noir camera and adafruit screen all controlled by a raspberry pi (model 2B). I’ve added a couple of buttons to control the light, video record etc for use in handheld mode with the pi controlling the functions in automatic / trailcam mode.
