Camera Gremlins

This camera gremlin is smug. He thinks he has got one up on the Doctor. But, he does not know my Doctor. The Doctor has a plan, a backup plan and one more after that!

“I ain’t gonna let no gremlins mess with me” said the Doctor after a few drinks. His dogs Cleo and Marley agreed, even though they had had none.

This is the plan:
The Doctor will take down the defective camera tomorrow and replace it with the camera he used last year. The image will not be quite as good, but that way we will not miss the hatchings, which he expect to occur May 14 to May 21. That will give him time to determine the best camera for the rest of the season and for the future.

He has sent this message to the intra-galactic technology banks, and expects a response within 4 milli-seconds. With this information plan B and plan C will be developed. The gremlins really have no chance against my man. I’m so proud of him!

“Please help me if you can. I have an osprey nest 150 yards from my back door. I want to place a camera above it, to continuously record their activity, and to make the live streaming available to all internet users as simply as possible. I already have a cable connecting the osprey platform to my house. Cost is not an issue. What camera should I buy? What is the best way to configure the connection to my home and to the WWW? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated”.

Love,
Harriett
