than a black and white camera. This is due to the light levels allowing the colours to show up much better than in low light. Likewise a black and white camera will give you a better picture in low light. If you imagine a black and white image will show a kind of grain across the screen from shadows etc allowing different parts to be picked out on your screen. A colour one would just give you a blend of colours and you would only see black. So then the solution? Well go and get the Swann Day/Night camera. By day this camera is colour, but built into the front is a light level sensor, as soon as dusk is imposed upon the camera and the light drops low enough (to a pre-built in level) the camera not only switches into a black and white mode but it also triggers the infra-red led?s around the camera. What this does is give enough light ...

Review of Swann Colour Day/Night Waterproof Super Infra Red CCD Camera

infra red cat flap - rubbish!!!

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: other cats get in - my cat can't

Firstly: A few weeks ago I purchased a Staywell 400 Series ? Magnetic Cat Flap and fitted to all your guidelines ? Found within few days that another cat was somehow managing to gain access? Found that one cat was gaining access with just a metal collar ? not a magnet and another by forcing the flap (no collar at all). As I am heavily pregnant and did not want continuing stray cats ? spraying on, lying on, defacing my furniture and eating all of our own cats food I decided to return the item and purchase the Staywell 500 Infra Red Cat Flap ?

The stray either (I have observed it) head butts the door or claws its paw under and with a hook drags the cat flap door towards it ? On the other hand my cat who ...

Review of Staywell 500 Infra-Red Cat Flap

Infra-Red Catflap Drove my Cat Mad!

Advantages: Prevents access to stray cats, including any with magnetic-type keys
Disadvantages: Intermittent operation of locking mechanism

, this kept the strays out, but a few months later, I realised that Black Tom was still getting in somehow. One day, I discovered how-he was actually hooking the bottom of the flap with his claw, and pulling it open from the outside! I then splashed out on a Staywell 500 Infra Red model (£49.99), to see if this would solve the problem, and indeed, it did keep the strays out completely! Fluffy didn't mind the large yellow infra-red key, and it seemed to work fine initially. But later on, she started having problems with it. She likes to sit outside the door for a while before finally deciding to come in. This causes the latch to open and close repeatedly while she's thinking about it, and often it will have locked itself again by the time she decides to come in. To add insult to injury, the the mechanism sometimes doesn't work at all ...
