Camera specifications Distance chart

Camera viewing distance

The cameras are ideal for nestbox use, focusing from 5cm to infinity, allowing you to it for many applications. The diagram to the right gives you a guide to approximately how much of your nest box will be in view when you fix your camera at different distances. For example if you fit the camera 30cm above the floor of the box you would get an approximate area of 27 cm by 20 cm in view. You will be able to focus the lens by undoing a little grub screw under the lens and turning the lens (Black part) anti clockwise..

Having the correct IR levels are also important. This camera is ideally suited for handykam nest boxes and there is the correct balance between natural light during the day and correct focal distance between camera and base.

The kit also includes

• 4 camera receiver with push button selector Each camera on seperate channels Ie Channel 1,2,3,4
• 2 x power supplies
• 9v battery to run camera
• Short AV cable
• Galvanised wire to connect to tree

How does it work?

The wireless system is very easy to use and install. The kit comes with everything you will need including instructions. All you have to do is:

• Test everything before installation
• Connect the receiver to the power plug and the TV.
• Install the bird box 0 - 100m away from TV.
• Connect the camera to the nearest power supply. We do sell DC cable extensions with various lengths - see below.
• Turn on TV and flick receiver onto channel 1 and TV onto AV channels
• You are now ready to enjoy your birds

Please note - remember the power to the camera
The wireless camera still needs power operate. It does come with a square 9v battery, but this only last 8 hrs. The best solution is to go 'semi-wireless', where you should mount the box near a power point like a garden or garage shed wall and connect the camera to the power point via a standard extension lead or our DC cable add-on (see below). The video and audio signal is then sent wirelessly to the receiver. See diagram below.

Upgrade - DC extension cables

In order to get power to your camera, you can either run power to the power supply with a standard extension lead, or you can use one of our DC extension cables. This comes in a couple of lengths 5m, 10m or 20m.

Upgrade - Aerial booster (9dB with screw on connector)

Depending where you position your bird box camera, you may need to boost the signal to the receiver. The booster comes with 3m of cable and a magnetic base to help gain a better signal.
