Time-Lapse Package Revision D Overview The Time-Lapse Package is a complete system for documenting construction projects, animal behavior monitoring, analyzing environmental changes, or other long-term outdoor photographic tasks. Quick Start 1. Reconnect the two-pin Red and Black power cable to the Battery converter (intentionally disconnected for shipping). This will apply power to the camera and the controller. You might check other cable connections as well! 2. Once the power is

Time-Lapse Package Revision D Configuring the DigiSnap Now that you’ve verified that things are working, you may want to configure the DigiSnap for your particular application. The first time you do this can be trying, but once you’ve gone through the process once, it’ll be easy the next time. If you get stuck, give us a call! If we shipped the housing with a camera installed, or if you told us the camera you are planning to use, the DigiSnap should already be configured properly fo

Time-Lapse Package Revision D Zoom in for details… System Components Digital Camera The Time-Lapse Package can be used with a wide range of cameras, from point & shoot, to SLR’s. Most customers prefer that we supply the camera, and this is our preference as well, but we can also provide the system without a camera, if you already have a camera that you’d like to use. There are a host of considerations to evaluate when choosing a camera model for time-lapse photography, particularl

Time-Lapse Package Revision D Again, given some extra effort and cost, we may be able to use your current camera, but we’d like to suggest using a Pentax SLR. These cameras use industry standard connectors, draw negligible power between pictures, and yield equivalent image quality to Nikon and Canon cameras. Pentax K100D/K110D The standard package will include the latest generation Pentax Digital SLR camera. Currently we install a K110D (6 MPixels, APS sized sensor), with the standard

Time-Lapse Package Revision D Enclosure The housing uses a very strong molded fiberglass construction. Gaskets make the unit airtight and water tight, and stainless steel hardware further eliminate any concern for corrosion. The door is hinged, and quickly removable. The housing is a perfect size to accommodate digital cameras, including many SLR’s. Unlike plastic units, you can successfully paint this enclosure if you want to hide it in the field. Triangular headed screws, and

Time-Lapse Package Revision D Mechanical Package We can also provide the enclosure with mounting hardware. This package includes the external mounting bars as well as an internal stainless steel mounting plate with right angle bracket, desiccant pack, felt and tools, for $422.63. The internal stainless steel panel provides a solid base to mount the camera and all other components. The panel can be easily removed for service, and then just dropped back in place. The panel doesn

Time-Lapse Package Revision D Camera Mount The camera is mounted on a high quality tilting head, with a quick release plate. You can easily remove and re-install the camera, without having to re-align it! Of course a quick release head may not give you perfect pixel alignment, but for most applications it should work quite well. The camera head is attached via a bracket to the mounting plate. The head can be adjusted front and back on the bracket, as well as rotated on the bracket. We

Time-Lapse Package Revision D Solar Charger While many solar panels can be connected directly to Lead Acid batteries, LiPoly batteries must be charged carefully, monitoring the voltage and temperature. Harbortronics has developed a custom charger to adapt the solar panel to the LiPoly battery pack. This device is installed between the solar panel and the battery, and also provides connections for the battery converter. Other external power sources can be used in place of the solar

This package does not include a camera, memory cards, nor a cable between the controller and the camera. This package is available for $1169.31. If you’d like to add the solar panel option, the

Time-Lapse Package Revision D Battery Life Estimates We have made some very detailed measurements of the battery current, when powering the Battery Converter, the DigiSnap 2100 controller, and the K110D camera. Given this current vs time profile when taking pictures, we are able to project how long a battery pack will last, without a solar panel. Using the solar panel, the battery life is essentially unlimited. Please note that this projection is based on the measurements of one set of
