2013.Sep.04 - Nov.09 Here is a time lapse video, hand picked one minute from each day, gravitating toward sequences of good weather and favorable sun angle, sped up x60. Shows rapid recovery of water level by busy beavers, then new trees fallen, and now day by day tree limbs get chewed off and added to the dam. Water level chart jumps up faster during this sequence. Watch for autumn colors, first snowfall, and a second dropping of water level leaving behind the ice layer. |

Using this battery as a power source to run the 808 camera does cause significant (40 ft.) interference with FM radios of passing vehicles. It is not recommended for stealthy surveilance. The USB cable acted like a broadcast antenna, although just the EZO alone caused significant EMR and RFI. | |||||
