The Afidus camera is new, however, it's proving itself more every day. We are still in testing the super long-term battery life and inclement weather. Here in Minnesota we have winters on par with Siberia, so you know it's cold. Very cold! Our outdoor cameras perform very will in temperatures down to -40 with lithium batteries. Checking the capture indicator light occasionally is good piece of mind when temperatures are below zero.
Our indoor cameras easily run for 30 days at a capture a minute during working hours. We also have a camera capturing every five minutes, 10 hours a day which has been running for 50 days. Our testing is ongoing and we are exited to share future updates with you.

This clip footage was scouted for two weeks prior to the actual event. Our team has had this event on their radar as a "bucket-list" of content to capture. We waited and watched for the go live to drop any day. To capture this event our team was required to be onsite the day it started. Scheduling will be a welcome feature in the arsenal of options to reduce editing time in the long run.

Camera Feature
PIR = PASSIVE INFARED SENSOR
Inspired by a pesky critter found up the block, we set the camera up to test the PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor) feature to reduce total clip time. This feature sets the camera to record only when the camera sensor is triggered. With the right setting, you'll have one clip showcasing all the action.

Critters are tricky little buggers to observe. This fun feature to work with allows you to set the camera up and walk away letting it do all the work. We find this feature useful in situations where action needs to be recorded only when it's occurring. Be sure to set the camera to Hyper capture mode so it records one complete clip. Otherwise, you'll have a set of 500+ small clips to string together. Remember we're here to help.

Setting consistent light was no small feat to accomplish. In this setting natural light blended with studio light produced a little light flickering, this is a normal feature in creating Time Lapse Videos. We advise to take your time setting the right focus for the best outcome and to check your footage a few minutes into the capture. Remember we're here to help.
