Just want to pass along a piece of info for those building a home or having
it built.

To pre-empt anyone getting their shorts in a knot - this is not suggested as
a means of babysitting a contractor. It could be used to "watchdog" a site
at night, and for watching the progress in a speeded up fashion (stills
combined in .avi or animated .gif).

Someone asked about an IP enabled webcam for their site, and this is not.

Its a digital game camera made by
http://www.cuddebackdigital.com/noflash.html

can be mounted to a pole or tree
slef contained with long battery life - up to 6 months / 1500 images
can be programmed to take digital pictures at a pre-set time interval, (day
only, night-only, or both)
can be programmed to do both time lapse, and motion activated
It takes color pictures during the day, and IR at night (no-flash) might be
helpful to have photos to show law-enforcement if materials disappear
overnight.
Uses removable compact flash memory card, has usb interface, and a rca video
plug.

You'd want to inform the GC that its there, and your reasons for using it -
I plan on getting one to make the time-lapse movie of our house coming
together.

How well can it be disguised? Or maybe I should ask how long until it is
removed from your possession? Either by a contractor who does not want to
be watched or by a kid who wants a new toy?

Other than that, sounds great.

Because it's the fair thing to do. If you don't tell him, and you use
the pictures to settle a dispute with him halfway through the job, you
may win the dispute but you just dealt a fatal blow to your relationship
with him.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh.
