Question about how to set a camera to be fired on a delay with motion sensors or lasers?

I'm trying to find out if there are any products out there which can be connected to a Canon 5D which will trigger the shutter when motion is detected by sound or lasers or whatever. I've noticed some delay apparatuses on the web but they all look homemade. Does anyone know of anything that would work for this?Question about how to set a camera to be fired on a delay with motion sensors or lasers?Try asking a more specific question to the people at Hi-Viz.



Here's a link to their 'kits' pages - have a browse and consider contacting them. They will either make something to do what you need or will know someone who's been there...

Motion sensors that work through the viewfinder are rather good...

You have a grid of squares on a display and you can set any square to trigger the camera when the value changes by more than a set amount.

But they take a lot of setting up....Question about how to set a camera to be fired on a delay with motion sensors or lasers?There is a remote on Ebay that has the ability to trigger from an IR sensor, kind of like a business door alarm. If something passes between the remote and the trigger, it fires the shutter.



Search Ebay with "remote release Canon" and you'll find it.Question about how to set a camera to be fired on a delay with motion sensors or lasers?

This site has something for you. But , I would like to add that if you go by DIY systems (home made) it would be much economical.

I've got one, and all it requires is a sensor from a motion-light, a power source/converter, a bracket, and a solenoid from an automobile door lock. You could use a different trigger mechanism than the motion sensor, depending on how you want it triggered. You'd just have to wire it all up and test that it's firing the solenoid, and be sure that you place the solenoid at the appropriate distance from your shutter release on your camera. The whole thing costs about $20 if you pull the solenoid from a junkyard.
