have you got an old camcorder ?

-
Alan and I are busy setting up a system for automatically recording pictures over the Start line ( north of the OD box ).
-
Most of the stuff is in place, but we are looking for a reasonable quality CCTV camera or a camcorder to finish the job.
-
If a camcorder is used, it would have to be able to run continuously on mains power without switching itself off after half an hour or whatever. ( some do, some don't )
-
There will be lots of these things gathering dust somewhere,
-
This is the quality of picture they get at the Isle of Sheppey SC using camcorders:

I set an old one up at home last night to see how long it will run. Will let you know.
