Hi Chris, I would like to start making video recordings of the monkeys face and possibly body and synch them to the recordings. Jim really liked the idea and suggested we might already get something going with the animal we are currently recording. There may be a coarse way to do this without MWork…

Hi Alina, Apologies for the delayed reply. I was out on vacation last week. We can definitely add video recording control to MWorks. I already did most of the required work when implementing face recognition support, so it shouldn’t be a big job. Do you have a timeframe in mind for when you’d b…

Hi Chris, If Jim wants it implemented for the monkey that we are already recording from, it should be done in the next few weeks. I realize that you have a queue so if that is not feasible from your side, I might look into a temporary solution. The most important thing will be to synch the camera …

Hi Alina, Do you have ideas what would be more or less easy from your side to integrate? It’s easy to integrate any camera that macOS recognizes automatically. If you can plug in the camera and immediately use it with FaceTime or Photo Booth, then MWorks can control it using the infrastructure …

Hi Chris, This is all good to know. I learned yesterday that Ko may have a camera from a side project sitting around that we might be able to use, he’s going to dig it up tomorrow. I will check if it is compatible (likely) and of sufficient quality and tell you the model asap. If this one somehow d…

Hi Chris, Regarding the synch of video to neural recordings and MWorks, what I am worried about is possible frame skips if we just have one long recording. If I have 2h of task recording and 100 missing frames, when did they happen? So ideally the camera sends regular TTL pulses to the recording sy…

Hi Alina, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N182MP6 %mac-compatible, it says manual focus, fps good, fov unclear but says good for family chat.

Hi Chris, The companies that you mentioned match the ones I know from people doing mouse recordings. I waited for a while for a former colleague to get back to me on further American-based (ie more likely mac compatible) options but did not hear from him anymore. I suggest we have a zoom meeting a…
