Figure Lengend Snippet: Camera configuration for large apparatus video recordings. Together with custom 3D-printed components, Pi USB Cam can be configured to record from large behavioral testing arenas like the conditioned place preference apparatus shown here. A1 , CAD drawing of the 3D-printed components used in this configuration. A2 , Close-up photograph of Pi USB Cam mounted overhead on a wire shelf. A3 , The entire testing arena is visualized overhead with the camera mounted at a distance of ∼30 cm using a 100° HFOV fisheye lens. Video snapshots acquired with this configuration under bright-light ( B ) and no-light ( C ) conditions.
Article Snippet: Five videos of ∼5-min duration of adult female Long–Evans rats exploring two contextually distinct compartments in a standard conditioned place preference apparatus (MED Associates) were acquired in OBS Studio from two Pi USB Cams in tandem.
