BEST BIRD FEEDER CAMERA FULL

The 2.0-megapixel Network IP Camera that the system is supplied with is capable of shooting in full HD (1920 x 1080p) and in full color during the day, whilst in night vision mode, it switches to black and white (see sample video footage below).Īs well as this, the camera comes with a microphone enabling you to hear/record sound as well as video.

The camera was already installed into the nesting box and the cable fitted. The package we received contained the IP Camera Bird Box System with a Flat Roof (there is also a side view option) as well as the ViewCam Bird Feeder Housing. There are wireless options available, but as the bird feeder and later the nesting box were both going to be positioned fairly close to the house, I opted for a wired system that uses a single cable that both powers the camera and carries the information, which negates the need for a separate power source. ✅ Use code: BBR-GNVCF at checkout to receive your FREE ViewCam Feeder Housing.Īs I wanted to be able to view and capture the footage on both my phone and my computer as well as stream it on the BBR YouTube channel, I opted for an “IP camera” that uses our broadband router to receive the footage.
