Go to www.hagshouse.com. I talked to kyhunter28 at the show and this is where he told me to go for instructions and help if I needed it.

I wish I was better at building things, looks like a good setup.

There are a couple of sites here to help you guys out. If you have any questions just ask me or better yet ask them on the site there is a bunch of guys willing to help you out.

vajoe67, Im not for sure if you can swop out cameras in the moultries. I think I recall someone asking that on Hags and I think someone had replaced the camera but Im not for sure.

Would Radio Shack have parts to build these cameras?

[kyhunter28]

They have some parts but to make it simple I would just get it from Hags House. They have what you need and show how to set it all up.

kyhunter28,nice looking cams. I have built several with the pix boards . I saw the new price on the bg1's and thought about trying one of them. How do they compare to the pix boards. Does the 9 volt last good. Thanks and May God Bless You,
THomas

Lets put it this way I have had them cams out since the 3rd week of November and have gotten well over 1000 pics on each cam and havent change the 9 volt battery in the BG1. I have only used the Pix Controllers once, im not putting them down but the only one I got I had to return for service, never had any problems with the BG1's.

I built one with a pix board and an olympus d-520 camera. I have it set with a 1 min delay and during the height of the season would fill up a 64 meg card with 270 pics over night. The camera batteries would be good for two nights but the board batteries lasted 6 mos or so. You can even take the camera out of the system and use it normally. I plan on building another one of these as soon as I win the camera off ebay.
