Guys,
Kind of on-topic I suppose? Not sure if anyone’s
seen
this before – it’s an interesting gadget! It’s a
Pan/Tilt
camera stand by a company called Eagletron:

There’s an MPEG of the thing in motion here: http://www.trackercam.com/TCamWeb/images/pts2.mpg
And a review here: http://webcamworld.com/reviews/trackerpod.html
You can download tracking software that’ll
automatically track a moving object. I really fancy connecting this up to
my
security camera on the house to store videos on the HA PC for viewing on
any PC
in the house. You could even control it from an EPOD (if I had one
L -
I’m
really regretting missing out on them!).
Once I saw the mpeg I set off on a mission to buy one,
so I’ve
found a UK distributor called www.gendan.co.uk, I’ve emailed
about
prices/availability. Looks like the price is roughly £185 + VAT (including
camera). I’ve also asked about discount for bulk purchases, so if
anyone
else wants one I’ll pass on anything I hear back.
I have no connection with Eagletron or Gendan – I
just
want one and thought I’d pass on the links!
Cheers,
Nick
