We have a decade of experience providing specialist cameras for watching birds and other wildlife. Now we can proudly say that we have partnered with Riverside Woodcraft - foremost manufacturers of handcrafted birdhouses - to provide our own birdhouses, specially designed for use with cameras. This kit pairs the larger, deluxe bird box with our market-leading WiFi bird box camera. It includes everything you need to get the box installed, and the camera up and running on your phone or tablet.
The box is handmade from sturdy 21mm thick wood, significantly thicker than most other boxes on the market. Purpose designed for use with our cameras, it features a central mounting point, as well as air vents through which you can run the power cable. The front of the box is removable, both allowing easy installation of the camera, and use by species such Robins that prefer an open-fronted nest. Importantly, it's made from FSC Mix certified timber from sustainable sources.
The camera is our flagship model, connecting to your home's WiFi network to let you view from anywhere using an Android or iOS device. The digital sensor records pin-sharp video in HD resolution, with true-to-life colour in daylight. When light levels are low, it uses invisible IR LEDs to keep recording without any glow that could distract the chicks. The camera has a MicroSD card slot, letting you easily record footage - and even set up motion detection - without needing to connect it to an external recorder. The only connection the camera needs is to mains power, using the included power extension cable.
Please note that the camera operates on 2.4 GHz WiFi networks only.
The camera records in clear colour during the day, provided there is enough light in the box. In the dark, the built-in infrared lamps will automatically record in black and white Night Vision mode. If you want to get extra daytime light for more clarity, you can mount a daylight LED lamp inside the box. It’s much better than making a hole or window in the habitat as that could expose the wee critters too much and can cause overheating. One daytime LED lamp will be more than enough to provide sufficient natural lighting so you can see full, colourful detail of the baby birds’ growing feathers or the spikes of your huddled hedgehogs. It will only light up during the day.
Please note: make sure everything is set up before the animals have started nesting - disturbing the nest is illegal as it can cause nest abandonment.
