1213.0. "Solar powered video" by HYDRA::SCHAFER (Mark Schafer, SPE MRO) Thu Apr 17 1997 16:31

    Okay, it may not be a "consumer" product, but the morning paper ran an
    article about hawks/eagles that nest in the Springfield MA area.  In
    the article, they mention a solar powered video camera that the local
    cable company used to put these fowls on the public access channel.
    
    Are these things useful for anything else?  Too costly, perhaps?

1213.1Just a solar charger probably...ASDG::SBILLFri Apr 18 1997 09:046
I'm sure the CAMERA isn't anything special. They probably just hooked up an
ordinary video camera battery to a solar powered battery charger. "Solar powered
camera" sure does SOUND exotic and environmentally friendly though...
