Default Treated myself today

Well I treated myself to an early Christmas present today ... a wireless CCTV kit for the tortoise enclosure. It really is great - OH not to happy when i flick them on and his football off though !!!!!

Been promising myself one for a while and had a 20% voucher from B&Q so saved myself £20 aswell.

My son thinks I have finally lost the plot.

not a bad idea at all this

i was thinking of doing something similar after i seen the same kind of motion sensitive cctv set up in badger dens and hedgehog homes. Albeit they a rea little more mobile than our little shelled friends most of the time.

It's a good idea to get yourself a present at Christmas and for your own birthday
You get exactly what you want!

It's great isn't it. It's really handy too and not just a novelty thing

I am a worrier Alan so it saves me several trips to the enclosure at night - at the flick of the switch I can see they are ok.

It does need some tuning though and repositioning - we put it up in haste yesterday just to try it out.

I am hoping to put the thermometer in view as well so I can check the temps.

You do have a few more to monitor than me though Terry !!!!

I have mine set up in the sleep area - the rest of the enclosure is perspex so I can see them ok.

I am pleased with it - I have been watching them this morning while I have be pottering around.

needless to say Jas is about now so they have been replaced by cricket !!!!
