Camera Recordings

There are three settings in which we make camera recordings.

• (A subset of) Eye-tracking experiments. A Looxcie controlled via an iPad mini.

• ~HPP experiments in the soundproof booth. A GoPro mounted on the TV and controlled manually.

• Play Session experiment. Multiple camcorders on tripods with flip screens that have to be turned on/off manually and then synced.

Problems with the current processes:

• All cameras need to be charged and turned on manually both of which are easy to forget and/or mess up.

• The experimenter can't see GoPro's controls and screen when they turn it on.

• Turning Play Session camcorders on is distracting to the baby.

What we want:

• Cameras are powered directly, with accumulators for backup.

• Cameras are controlled remotely.

• Recordings can be saved directly to a secure repository, without physical export from a looxcie/SD card etc.

• Play session cameras are inconspicuous.

• (less necessary) A builtin way to sync the recordings.
