Great project!

I actually Interested doing such a thing in my roof.

I suffer from pigeons and I want to monitor the roof and using some computer vision - motion detector, know when they party in my roof.

And when they come - auto open a water hose to scare them out to someplace else.

It's a pretty general calculation using realistic figures.

Normally liquid batteries need 140% input. Not sure if it is the same for all the Li-xx batteries or not.

You could use this same setup in a number of nocturnal animal monitoring projects.

Well done.

Can you advise on power consumption, what is your solar set up and what is the overall draw of the pi?

[mention:ca2fe37c8c70477fb45e83ddaf152e5d:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05], What great timing! I was JUST about to begin build of a solar powered IR motion cam. My parents have a hedgehog house in their back garden and were looking to monitor it. You have done all the leg work for me haha! Thank you.
