How to make a Wildlife Camera (using a Raspberry Pi!) | Maddie Moate

For a long time I've really wanted to get stuck in with a Raspberry Pi project and the My Naturewatch Camera has been something I've been meaning to make for AGES. This video is a detailed step by step instructional video, something that I couldn't find online. So I hope that this, alongside the amazing mynaturewatch.net website, will encourage you to build your own and get spying on your local wildlife!

    It's incredible how Raspberry Pi can be all sorts of things, and TIL that it can power a camera too! Hopefully, the crack originating from the drilled hole or any other parts of the container don't end up causing water damage. Anyway, that's so cool. One more thing to keep in mind just in case I'll need a Raspberry Pi for something later down the line 🙂
