ferret cam

[richie 1]

probably going to get a ribbing off a few, but i thought it would be interesting to get some footage of a ferret at work with sound.

 

i picked myself up a wireless camera that has colour & sound.

 

ive been testing it out for a while now & have finally ordered a digital recorder that should be arriving next week some time which will allow me to record footage, youtube are gonna love me !

 

the camera has a run time of approx 5 hours & will work over a distance of 100m (330 ft) above ground with a clear line of sight, so they say ! so realistically under ground i would expect 25% or less of that distance.

 

i will be using a bright LED £1 size torch that will be more than enough.

 

it weighs 1/4 oz which is nowt & my big hob doesnt even notice it on him.

 

hopefully !, it will work underground.

 

heres TED sporting the 2008 model.... .

Hope it works OK. It'll be very interesting to see a ferret at work. Anyway good luck I hope your hob doesn't get caught up on any tree roots with the cam as you could end up doing a fair bit of digging.

yeah so do i.. ill be putting him in an open warren, not near any hedges or trees, not that i can guarantee whats underground, but i have the perfect warren to try it on.

 

its only going to be used once or twice so i can get some footage.

I tried this a few years ago, at the time the little wirless cameras were still too big to actually fit on the ferret so i attached it to my dog instead.

So ferret cam turned to dog cam then when that didnt work (well it did sort of) i lent the whole setup to a mate who flies remote controlled planes and i havent seen it since
