Ask HN: Cheap device for photographing demolition/construction site?

1 points by MichaelSalib ↗ HN
My local church is going to be demolishing an old building and constructing a new one real soon now. I'd like to setup a weather-proof camera system on a nearby building to photograph the demolition/construction every few minutes. Do you know of hardware that allows me to do that?<p>The site does have WiFi internet access in case that makes things easier.

This may not be what you want, but some months ago there was some news about a USB stick video camera. It didn't have much of the way in controls, and it only recorded at 480 or 640, but it was quite inexpensive -- $20?

When I saw your post title, I first thought of the "blow it up" kind of demolition. And that a few of these USB stick cameras could capture that action for pretty cheap (if you could find them, afterward; maybe also harden them or their setting enough to ensure survival of the memory and USB interface).
