Luxury Housing Trends & Home Improvement Ideas

If you’ve been dying to know exactly how the plants in your vegetable garden pop out of the soil, unfurl, and grow, then I guess this gadget is made for you:

The time lapse garden video camera lets you make “a timelapse video of your garden to show you the development of individual specimens or entire areas over a period of time.”

You can position it as close as 20″ from your plants to see petal growth or you can use a wide angle view to cover a number of things. You can set how often you want pictures to snap (settings run anywhere from 5 seconds to once every 24 hours), which are ultimately combined into a single-file 1280 x 1024 resolution AVI movie that you can play back on the computer.

The garden camera comes with a light sensor that turns everything off at dusk and back on at dawn since (we assume) your plants aren’t doing anything exciting in the dark. Naturally the camera features a weather-resistant exterior, and it can operate between 122° F and 14° F. It can run for up to four months on a set of four AA batteries.
