I posted on the other board that I am planning on heading over with some new hardware to improve the setup.
What I didn't post...
Actually, I hope to take my old laptop over. My new copy of Windows XP Pro arrived today, so I'll be loading it and then hooking up the new (used) Olympus SP500 ( SP500UZ
SP-500 UZ review ) camera to it. IF it all works, I hope to get remote access through the internet with the new system. Then I can upgrade software and try to fix that bloomin focus problem from here.
As for the camera aim, this spring, I sent Doug a special clamp to use with the camera, but I don't think he ever installed it. When I head over, I'll be taking along some shelf brackets, etc, to build a more secure tripod/clamp setup.
With the camera in the attic of the hostel, wind can affect it, and the building vibrates when trucks roll by. So it's no wonder the aim moves once in a while.
