After lots of hassle i have finally got the Meadowcam up in the back garden to test its waterproofing, stability etc. Pictures are shown here: http://meadowmaker.typepad.co.uk/photos/meadowcam/index.html.
It seems to be working ok. Although i am thinking of not using the Coolpix (but then again...) I am testing it with the coolpix in to see if this will work ok with the lowest size and resolution settings to see what effect this has.
This change of heart has been effected by the realisation that the alternative D70 camera would be probably not work after all - the setting for the remote shooting mode did remain when I tested it every 10 mins for an hour, but if the camera were switched off for several hours and turned on it will revert to the single / continuous shot. I checked with Nikon whether it can be made the default shooting mode and they said no. So that is that option shot out of the water as well. I may be in the position of having a box and no camera again...
