Birdwatching with XCam2
Ever since we introduced the XCam2, our customers have used it for their hobbies -- including birdwatching. Using the XCam2 adds a whole new dimension to keeping an eye on the birds around you, especially since it can be done without leaving the couch.
But with Butch Edwards, it’s more than just watching birds. Butch is a senior equipment engineer for Motorola, and for the past ten years has been on a mission to expose as many students in the Austin area as possible to the exciting world of high-tech gadgetry. "I can throw a show together with only a days notice with X10 devices included," Butch says, and X10 has become an enormous asset to his technological exhibitions.
This particular family of birds moved into Butch’s cul-de-sac a couple of years ago. "Since I have been doing high tech demonstrations I decided to adopt these kids as my test subjects for the presentations I do as a volunteer at the schools." Butch noticed the interest local kids had for the birds darting about the front yard while they were doing some batting practice, and as he watched the young people’s fascination with the birds, he suddenly had a light bulb go off in his head.
