It's Midterms!!! 3 weeks to go......
Every group shared out their progress so far in their research.
We really enjoyed each participants personalities and the information shared. All the groups presented what they have been doing up to this point. It is neat to see how far everyone is coming along. The others groups projects are very interesting. We actually had a chance to see how much individuals have learned prior to ever being involved in an engineering component.
After a quick lunch we are back in the lab to try and figure out why our system is recording 24/7. We called SWANN yesterday and received instructions on how to set up the cameras to record when motion is sensed. It is not working the way we would like it to be. Today we are still researching this problem.
We are also looking into how to cool the pelican box, in which the system is securely stored in, now that we have officially hit the 100 degrees mark! Even though it is shaded, we are worried. The DVR's survival temperature is up to 104*F, we will easily reach that temperature.
We have been viewing videos of other burrowing owl monitoring systems and other ideas. This link has been the best so far.

We called SWANN Friday afternoon and they walked us through the set up steps to have the system record for only when motion is sensed.
