The camera operates from early Spring to late Autumn. The camera shuts off during the polar night due to an outage of solar power. Images are stored on the internal SD card, which is exchanged twice a year (April/May and September/October).
The camera is installed on the roof of the Polish Polar Station Hornsund. The camera operates in 3 hr intervals, taking images of the lower part of the Fuglebekken catchment, Hansbreen moraines and the eastern slope of Fugleberget.
