Advantages: Motion sensor, Radio controlled, Bright projection Disadvantages: Cost £85 - £100, Radio signal dependant on weather
I have been using a previous OregonScientific projection clock for the past couple of years, and I have been very pleased with it. I decided to get this model because one of the main points is that the projection is strong enough to be seen in daylight. Even on a really bright day, it is still possible to see the time on the ceiling or wall, unlike previous models.
As with previous models, it has the radio controlled time feature, meaning that it is always up to date, and requires no manual changes. Although it is possible to turn the radio signal receiver off, and do it manually. This may have to be done if you are using it in an area of weak or no signal.

The quality of the loudspeacker is wonderful.
With a dimension and look of a bar soap, this little and cute station could find place in any pocket.
Batteries, 3 x AAA and 700mAh each, rechargeable and supplied, last 21 hours. Inside their lodging ...
My Experience?
I've had the OregonScientific digital camera for around 2 years now, and overall I have been disappointed. However I have a little relief in the fact that I paid very little for it through a TV bidding channel, Bid-up TV, I recall that it was about £100 along with an array of free image editing and gallery software. Ever since I received the camera it has gone down hill consistently. I know others have had good experiences with this camera, so it would appear to be on an individual basis, but do take heed. Also as other owners have reported the camera will often freeze on random occasions. To resolve, remove the batteries and replace them, this usually makes the camera work again. Even the slightest little tap will crash the camera and it will turn off.
Schematics?
The camera has a very simple, conventional ...
