A GOOD DIGITAL CAMERA

Leupold RCX-2 10MP Trail Camera System Kit with USB Controller/Viewer

The Leupold RCX-2 Trail Camera System Kit (112202) features innovative "plug and play" technology that simplifies the process of taking and retrieving images of game in the field. The "hub" of the RCX Trail Camera System is an exclusive handheld USB Controller/Viewer, which plugs into the USB jack in the camera to give you complete control of your system. Get real-time alignment of the camera's view, instant access to all program settings and all of the images that have been captured.Download high-resolution photos (color or infrared) and video right in the field, without making multiple trips to and from your home or truck to check SD cards. A TFT-LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display) active matrix 3" display gives you the complete picture right in the palm of your hand. Quickly scan, zoom, delete or transfer your photos and video, make adjustments as needed to the camera's setting and position and move on to the next camera. Then plug the controller into your home computer to download your pictures and videos to your hard drive.The RCX-2 delivers both high-resolution color (day) and infrared (night) still images, as well as a video/audio option to capture game activity in your area. The advanced system uses CMOS sensor technology similar to that found in higher-end camcorders to produce tremendously sharp, crisp 10 megapixel images. For exceptionally clear images at night, the RCX-2 provides 48 PIR LEDs combined with XD image processing

On May 6th, 2011, Year of Science contest semi-finalist Edward Wong, Dr. Andrzej Kotlicki, from the University of British Columbia’s department of physics and astronomy, Brian Anderson, program director for Science World, determine that an infrared camera can detect freezing road temperatures, but whether or not it’s practical to check for icy road conditions while driving is a question that needs further scientific enquiry.

We were using it to conduct a building efficiency audit of a school in Kitchener. It helped for finding heat escaping from cracks, vents, doors or windows. As well as super fun to mess around with.

This model retails for ~$10,000, so needless to say the university just rented it for a few days for us.
