Yesterday whilst carrying out some maintenance on the cams and feeds the Fox cam became faulty. The wires literally fell out of the back of the cam.
Until I repair or can get a new Fox Cam I have lashed together and old IR cam and placed it in a less exposed area from the elements.
The view from the cam is at a higher angle and looks down on the feeding area.

I think this may be a little too high.. Any comments? Drop me a mail.

The Pond can is now under test. Initially the lens cover has misted over due to the temperature difference between the inside electronics of the cam and the temperature of the water. It is slowly starting to demist, I’m hoping that over the next couple of days that this will disappear all together otherwise I will have to remove the cam and look into some ways of preventing the misting.
The cam is not in its final resting place yet. Once the cam has demisted I will clear an area in the pond and fix it in place.
