1 Buffalo Heated Driveway Snow Melt Time Lapse, 2 Different Cameras - Which one is Better? - 1/22/23

This video is my first "night lapse" since installing 2 new cameras designed to perform better in low light conditions than the GoPro I've used for years. Watch the same Timelapse from both cameras in this video, and let me know which camera (1 or 2) you think is "better" in the comments and why. I will reveal which camera is which in a later video showing how I tested these 2 models as well as several others.

08:31 - Stats & Outro

By 6:00 PM on Sunday January 22nd, we had accumulated approx. 1" of snow and were still receiving a steady snowfall. I turned the heated driveway snowmelt system on around 6:00 PM. The snow continued off & on throughout the night.

The snow continued until about 11:00 pm, and then completely stopped and the slab was able to begin drying. By 3:00 AM, on Monday January 23rd the slab was completely dry, however we received another brief snowfall preventing shutdown. By 5:30 AM the snowfall was over and the system was shut down.

If you’re new to my channel and want to start at the beginning, I recommend you visit my Heated Driveway / Snowmelt playlist which can be found here:    • Heated Driveway / Snow Melt System Design,...  

The playlist will have all of my videos in the correct order form start to present, regardless of the date I uploaded them. It starts with how I designed the PEX and Snowmelt Loop Layout, shows the process of installing the actual heated concrete slab, demonstrates how I did the math to calculate the boiler and pump sizes, installation of all of the components, and ends with lots of time-lapse of the system melting snow. It also includes snowmelt system startup and shutdown videos, as well as walkthroughs of the mechanical room, continuous circulation design and electrical system.
