Day 58A- Live Haunted Halls!



Now that the framing is winding down, we start putting up our monitoring equipment, lighting, prop drops etc. A couple of years ago I invested in 2 night vision cameras. Very reasonable price. For 2 cameras including a 5 year warranty, total was $167. Very easy to use. These are basically plug and play. They have a standard AC power plug and a single male plug that connects to your yellow port on your TV. There is plenty of length on the video plug to put the cameras anywhere in the garage I want. These have been in use for a couple of years now and have worked perfectly. I recommend this company for inexpensive night vision capability: www.palmvid.com
I like having the night vision option for manual scare deployment. This way you can see exactly from the comfort of 'the com' (command center) when the guests get into the very space you need them for your prop drops or sound/light effect or whatever you need to set off! The images here show you camera 1 which is in the entrance hall , where a few things occur when the guests come down this way. The camera resolution is excellent in complete darkness.
