Re: Hamsters at night thread
Thank you Hard to see unless it's full screen. Their eyes show where they are though! It was completely in the dark. Pickle was much more active but that's understandable as he's younger.

Re: Hamsters at night thread
Great thread Serendipity.
I keep meaning to make a video out of my night time clips- it's on the list!
It's great to see what they get up to at night isn't it.

Re: Hamsters at night thread
Yes - nice to see them so active in the cage as well. Neither come out much in the evening unless coaxed out!

Re: Hamsters at night thread
Which camera do you have Serendipity? Is it easy to use?

Re: Hamsters at night thread
Enjoyed that Serendipity. Rewarding to see that all the trouble you go to to make a cage full of interesting places is well appreciated. Pickle was all over the place.
Aww at Moo sitting there and looking out. Still, that led you to a problem that needed to be sorted out for him.

Re: Hamsters at night thread
Thank you Coco. I know you have something similar. People have talked about these types of cameras for a long time but I never quite knew what was what. It's this one. The reviews helped choose it as a lot of people use it for pet monitoring. It is easy to use but the instructions weren't great and tiny print. Basically it's like setting up an Echo Dot. The camera itself you just plug into a wall socket. But you then need to download the app which gives you a square picture thing that you hold in front of the camera and then they connect. You then connect the app to the wifi. Or maybe the other way round. So the phone and camera work together via wifi and the app.
Once that's done you can see what the camera sees from anywhere you are, on your phone. You can have sound on or off. You can also turn the camera round from your phone - it make it swivel round to a different position. We had fun with it.
It needs a micro sd card to record. So all the while it is turned on it records and you can play back what happened earlier. I think when the card is full it just records over the early part and goes round in a loop.
The recording was very good quality but degraded a bit by being downloaded as an mp4 and then uploaded to youtube.

This is the white version - I got the black one.

Re: Hamsters at night thread
Thanks for the detailed info. I've just watched the videos on full screen. Pickle really uses every bit of his cage so his set up is spot on! Had to laugh when you said that he took off to his bed soon as he heard you coming down. Seems to be a Syrian trait, lol.
Good quality of the recording too. I expected it to be fuzzy but its nice and clear.

Re: Hamsters at night thread
Here's another short one of Moo at 2.30am. He looks like he wants to come out, sitting at the cage door - and earlier seems to be listening to Pickle running in his wheel above! Then gave up and attacked his Mr Woodfield tree snack for ages. He does this thing of hanging out of the sputnik to see if he can get out of the top of the cage door I think. He likes the sputnik.
I've just put the link so you can watch it full screen as easier to see!
