Technology 2012 We had to move to Windows XP to be able to use the latest iCatcher. iCatcher has served us very well since the start of this project and we offer our thanks to the iCode team for their support. In an attempt to cut the running costs the old PC was retired and a new server built around a Gigabyte D525T-UD Mini-ITX Motherboard. It has the advantage of low consumption and a couple of hot-swapable SATA ports. 4 of the cameras are fed to a Euresys Picolo Pro capture card. The IP cameras are fed via the network. Pictures are uploaded to the web site when there has been movement. The upload rate depends on the activity and time of day. In addition, the IP cameras are sometimes used to upload pictures on a timed basis. Using this link will help fund an expedition to Madagascar in 2013 All boxes are fed by regulated 12V supplies and some have additional control available. Exterior pictures are obtained using the Panasonic 3Mpix IP camera and various CCTV cameras.   Equipment from 19th May 2012 Box 1 Tyco 1/2" 480 line colour CCTV camera to Picolo Pro Card Box 3 Tyco TCM2X58LV 1/2" Mono CCD camera with IR illumination Box 7 External Tyco 1/2" 480 line colour CCTV camera to Axis 2400 server Box 4 Axis 2100 network camera modified for IR use Box 6 No Camera Box 7 Sony EVI-D31 PTZ (video direct to capture card) and Axis 2400 video server (to remote the PTZ control) with auto/manual illumination   Equipment at Start of 2012 Season Box 1 Axis 2100 modified for IR Box 2 JVC TK-C1460 1/2" CCD Camera with IR & Visible illumination.
