ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor based device for monitoring a location and recording the time and date of each event involving the presence of an object such as a deer at the monitored location. A transmitter of an infrared beam may be mounted on a tree on one side of a trail in alignment with an infrared receiver mounted on a tree on the opposite side of the trail. When an object breaks the beam, the time and date of the event are recorded in memory, and the time and date of each event may be retrieved from memory and displayed in chronological order on an LCD display on the face panel of the receiver. Alternatively, a portable printer may be used to obtain a printed record of recorded events. Optionally, a camera may be aimed at the monitored location and automatically activated to photograph the animals present at the monitored location. The electronics incorporates various power conserving features to provide long life for the batteries so that extended operation is possible in remote areas.
