It doesn’t matter what you think, as long as your puppy loves eating grass. Unfortunately for you and for your garden, it doesn’t think that the grass is always greener on the other side, so it is all set against your yard. You can’t do anything about it, ‘cause, after all, it was you who wanted the little creature!
But here you have something that is meant to help you with a situation like this, coming from Hammacher Schlemmer. Called the Timelapse Garden Video Camera, the device is designed to help anyone who has a garden to keep track of the progress of his/her plants. To be more precise, the camera does nothing but to allow you to watch the grass grow. Of course, if your dog isn’t in the mood for something stupid. For eating, I mean.
“It can focus as close as 20” away to illustrate petal growth or, with its wide 54” field of view, it can capture perennials as they grow to conceal your spent spring bulb foliage. The camera takes a picture at one of six pre-determined intervals (five seconds to 24 hours) and combines them into a single 1280 x 1024 pixels resolution AVI movie file for easy playback on a computer”.
The camera comes with a light sensor that is meant to turn off the camera when the dusk comes and to turn it back at dawn. This way, the video capture is continued each day and you’ll never have it interrupted. No matter what.
After being time-stamped, the pictures are all stored on a 2GB USB flash drive, meaning approximately 18,000 photos. Because the camera will have to work outdoors, it comes with a weather-resistant “outfit”, so it’s able to function from a temperature of 122 degrees Fahrenheit to 14 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Timelapse Garden Video Camera works on four AA batteries that are not included in the package. They provide about four months of operation. Interested in it? Go to Hammacher Schlemmer and it can be yours for $159.95.
