We are selling 3 complete photoSentinel systems, which are 1 to 2 years old. They are complete Solar-Powered and AC powered Systems with upgraded battery and solar panel for long-term time lapse projects whether you place it out in the wilderness or between towering skyscrapers in the city.
The reason for the sale is we are coming out of Timelapse to focus on our growing core business which is drone surveys.
The Solar Panel and 12.4Ah battery pack will keep the entire system running continuously without AC power, indefinitely. The solar panel maximizes solar absorption to keep the battery charged, while the battery will keep your camera and controller running without the sun for over a week. This means you can place this system anywhere - between big city skyscrapers or out in the wilderness - and still keep going regardless of season or weather.
The systems cost us £5000.00 each and I am selling them individually for £2200.00 each or £6000.00 for all 3 as a job lot. Prices do not include vat.
Here is the breakdown of what's included with each system:
3G Wireless Intervalometer
At the heart of the photoSentinel system is the low-powered photoSentinel controller, which triggers the camera and connects regularly to the 3G network to receive configuration settings, send photos and provide status updates.
The photoSentinel utilises HSDPA, the most common 3G technology around the world. Requiring just a SIM card, photoSentinel gives you the freedom to shop around for the best 3G.
Small enough to fit into the palm of your hand, the photoSentinel controller is where all the magic happens!
Fully Solar Powered Time lapse
The photoSentinel’s proprietary low-powered electronics means the whole system can run off just the solar panel. And if it’s cloudy, the 12.4Ahr battery will last 7+ days without recharge.
Wireless – Live Status Updates
Status reporting on the photoSentinel Quick View iPad app
There’s nothing worse than setting up remote time-lapse equipment, only to return in a month and discover the battery died weeks ago. The ability to check the status of your photoSentinel on the web interface and iPad app, and the automatic email and SMS alerts, gives great peace of mind knowing your system’s working and that it will let you know immediately if something goes awry.
Change Configuration Remotely
Configure your photoSentinel to trigger photos anywhere between one every second and just one per week. You can even change the regime mid-project, anytime and from anywhere! The web interface also allows you to configure when to upload your images (every image as its taken, one per hour or as a batch overnight), remotely format the microSD card and adjust your e-mail/SMS alerts.
Photos at your fingertips
Timelapse storage on the cloud. Customizable web gallery of latest photos, as well as all full-res photos sent straight to your Dropbox account or FTP server.
Full HD Time lapse Movies
The photoSentinel triggers a DSLR camera to take high resolution photos at regular intervals. These photos can be compiled into unique time-lapse movies that show the journey of a long-term project (e.g. the construction of a building) in just seconds. The high resolution images allow the post-production process to include zoom, pan and cropping without loss of quality. The photos can also be used for high quality marketing photos.
IP66 Weather Protection
The photoSentinel Housing is IP-66 weatherproof, keeping your equipment safe and dry, and are fitted with optically pure glass to ensure the best photos. The photoSentinel electronics have been successfully tested to -22ºC (-8ºF) and have been deployed to areas as hot as Dubai, Qatar and the Australian desert, and as cold as the Canadian prairie
