Title: Help an OAP out...
Post by: Guy on 09 July 2012, 14:36

My Aunty is 80 and has in recent years suffered a significant loss of sight due to Macular Degeneration..

she gets great pleasure from birdwatching and has all sorts of birdtables and stuff set-up in the garden

I got the following off her by email and thought some of you might know better than me..

Can you tell me, and if it is not too expensive, what I would need to set up a camera/s on my birdtable/s, either to run to the TV in the lounge  or to my computer in the back bedroom.  If it is poss. can you tell  me what we would need to buy/look for.
Trouble is now I can’t tell a robin from a starling..well almost!   Any ideas you mmight have would be welcomed.

I am thinking some kind of mini/lipstick camera with an AV lead to the TV would be the most simple, cheapest and straightforward to set-up whilst returning the best results?
