Feedback from last night, with black plastic over the Victure 200 LEDs: The central area (the one that used to be whited-out) looked perfect. But the peripheral areas were too dark. So it definitely needs a more targeted approach. I’m sure there must be solutions out there, I just need to research them.
And although the camera part that I covered isn’t the motion detector I felt, on this and on the previous occasions, that it wasn’t detecting everything. I can’t explain why, as I don’t know much about cameras. When I checked both feeding stations this morning they’d both been used, but the camera didn’t catch anything going into the one that was more heavily used (definitely by hedgehogs). Given how much food was eaten, I think I missed a lot.
I’ll keep experimenting, but at the moment I’d prefer to capture all the action even if I can’t see it all clearly, than miss out on something.
