They’re so difficult to keep away! Thanks for the enjoyable reviews. Also, I laughed when you said “grr” for squirrels. I’m hoping that having some form of always-watching bird camera will help me capture more birds, and keep track of them. And the past few months, I’ve seen a few yellow-yellow birds but, sadly, they’ve been too quick to capture. Sure, it’s fun to see birds swarming on the feeders outside our windows, but birds tend to poop where they eat, and when they congregate it spreads the salmonella bacteria. Night vision is cool but, are birds really out at night? Not usually…? I really appreciated watching your video compilation! Oh, and over the past few years, I saw my first Rose-Breasted Grosbeak and they’re so distinctive. For me, the most important part is the accurate motion detection. Then I see this review where you very effectively use an inexpensive Blink camera to take some fun video and, honestly, I’d rather have no AI than bad AI. But I’m also a -little- worried that the AI is going to be just as bad as Netvue. I still don’t have the Bird Buddy products I ordered, so I’m hoping that the delays will be worth it. Last year, I invested in an Indiegogo project Bird Buddy, which is very similar to the Netvue Birdfy Feeder Cam you had reviewed. I love the fact that there are so many ways to approach a problem. The screws used are 316 Stainless Steel Pan Head Phillips Screws, M4 x 0. You will aslo need a Philips head screwdriver (not included). The outdoor version of the Blink camera is designed to be placed outdoors and is weather and water-resistant which makes it the perfect birdwatching camera. Installation and mounting instructions The universal pole mount is easily installed onto the bottom of your Bird Buddy feeder with four screws, which are also included in the order. Check out my Blink security camera review for more info.Īs I mentioned, the Blink cameras are small, battery-powered, and wireless. If you aren’t familiar with Blink cameras, they are small wireless battery-powered security cameras that you can put anywhere inside your home and they will capture video clips when motion is triggered. I wanted something that would take the pictures for me and I found a great solution. The device initially launched in 2020 in a Kickstarter campaign, and although it’s widely available now. That way I wouldn’t have to stand around all day waiting for the birds to show up so I could take thier picture. The Bird Buddy costs 200, so it’s a bit of an investment for the serious hobbyist. But after checking prices, my brain came up with another idea to repurpose the gear I already have to create an automatic birdwatching camera. I started thinking about buying a better camera with a telephoto lens just so I could get better bird pics. Then early the next morning I was lucky to see this little guy and again, I captured a quick grainy shot of a Yellow-breasted Chat with my iPhone.
