How can I find a camera for long-term time lapse use? While I do have some concern over the life of the shutter, the environment doesn't worry me. I've got a great deal of experience building enclosures for equipment in harsh environments, including submerged electronics. The enclosure I built (PVC welded with watertight cable glands) could probably survive submersion to a meter. Which should be fine mounted on a pole 3m in the air. In addition, there is a great deal of desiccant in with the camera. I sometimes put humidity sensors in with more valuable equipment, but I'm not too worried. |

How can I find a camera for long-term time lapse use? I've purchased a used Nikon D40 and an 18-55 lens. I'm currently building a weatherproof enclosure for it. This is somewhat a proof of concept so if it works, and I get more funding, I could see a newer camera, but a clean DSLR for $110 isn't a bad deal. The USB2.0 extender I bought seems to work well and the ends won't be exposed to the environment. We already have an embedded Atom PC/104 with a 3G modem aboard our floating platform, and while I see the benefit of a Raspberry pi controling the camera, I think I'll try the 30' USB cable for now if only to stay within my power budget. |

How can I find a camera for long-term time lapse use? For the USB connection, I'm going to try a 10m Active Extension / Repeater Cable from monoprice. For under $7 it's worth a try. |

How can I find a camera for long-term time lapse use? I've seen USB to cat5 converters but they either only do USB 1.1 or are expensive. USB to wifi is worth looking in to a I already have wifi capabilities. |

How can I find a camera for long-term time lapse use? A go pro would be ideal except for the write angle lens. It may be too wide. I've got a hero 2 I band do some tests with. |

How can I find a camera for long-term time lapse use? I was going to get a PVC electrical enclosure and modify it to my needs. My USB cable will need to be about 5m. Power is not an issue as I've got plenty of wind and solar generating capacity. |
