I need to trigger a camera at a remote location once every 24 hrs to collect images from a stream restoration project in northern Sweden. Can this be done using a very inexpensive camera by somehow connecting it to common travel alarm clock? Perhaps one can use the leads to the beeper in the clock to trigger the camera, either electronically or via a servo motor that presses the shutter release button? It would be great to use the alarm function in an alarm clock because it is easy for anyone to program (as compared to a black-box timer).
It will be left in the field unattended (but hidden in a bird house) for several weeks at the time so I don't want to use expensive equipment. Any tech geeks out there who might be able to offer a cheap but elegant solution?
