Technology and design for the home changes every year. There are so many exciting products that are being designed to allow us to get the most out of our homes. One aspect that is increasingly popular is helping bringing the outdoors indoors.
A camera bird box or wildlife camera is a perfect way of having your own LIVE nature channel right from your garden into your home. This was perfectly demonstrated in the very popular Grand designs - House of the Future.

Why not Advertees it – T shirts that you want to wear
We thought it was a good time to dapper up with new Handykam T shirts. Out went the tired old wood encrusted garments and in came new funky screen printed and embroidered T shirts.
We chose a local T-shirt and embroidery company Advertees. What can we say, what a great job they did. Steve, Julie and the team were quick out the blocks helping with garments, styles, colours and finishes. Before, we knew it, we got an e-mail to say they are ready.
Advertees can help you select from a huge range of garments and colours. They can virtually print on any article of clothing and help with the design too. Whether you want single items, to bulk, their pricing will suite any budget. Don’t forget, they have a good range or organic clothing as well as embroider too. You name it, they can do.....and send throughout UK and Europe too. Have a good perusal of their website and give them a shout. You will be impressed. We were, we got the T shirt. ;)
We have often been asked if we recycle paper in Handykam.com. Well, yes we do. Not only do we use recycled packaging for our products, but we also like to consider the environment with our waste too.
Every year, we get thousands and thousands of card board boxes which needs to be disposed of. We have teamed up with our local paper recycling station who take all our cardboard and make sure that it gets fully recycled into paper products. This helps reduce carbon as well as help the environment.
See the material received waste transfer form on the left. This was a van load today.
Feel rest assured with Handykam.com.

Join the buzz and save our bees – Watch the bee cam too.
Handykam cameras are being used for the successful National Trust and BBC’s Bee Part of it campaign. Check out the ‘Bee-cam’ and help support their campaign.
Support the bee part of it campaign.
The aim of the campaign is to combat the plight of bees throughout the UK, by placing 45+ colonies around the country. The bee numbers have halved over the last 20 years, due to habitat change, varroa mite and climate change.
Bees play a vital role in pollinating our crops and helping our well balanced ecosystems. Without bees, we may have trouble growing certain crops, reduction in honey as well as have a nock on affect on other insects and wildlife.
The National Trust with the expert knowledge of Kevin Babey (BBC cameraman and Harry Potter films) and Andy Cutler-Davies (National Trust Bee Expert) installed 2 of our cameras as bee cams at Mottisfont, Hampshire. They opted for a CCD camera for internal use and a vari-focal camera for external use. The shots are amazing especially the close-ups of the queen laying eggs.
They will be documenting the bee hive throughout the summer, filming the lives of bees in a ‘B brother’ style blog.
