Watch and save barn owls

If you have a large property, out buildings, sheds, you are able to help create a sanctuary for your barn owl as well as allow you to enjoy them too with a internal barn owl box and camera system.

The box
The design of the box was a slightly adapted version of the official Barn Owl Trust design. The Barn Owl Trust are the world authorities on barn owls and their conservation. We were pleased to be allowed to use the design for our boxes. They have developed a nest box design that increases the chances of attracting barn owls and encouraging them to raise their brood. The design includes a special tray landing tray that can help owlets climb up the tree, land on the roof and jump back into the box if they fall out.
The boxes are well constructed and are designed to be placed in trees in all weathers.
| They are made using the following:
- Pressure treated FSC 6mm plywood
- Stainless steel screws
- Glued for extra rigidity
|
The features of the box are:
- Owl attractive and friendly size and shape
- Owlet safety tray or landing platform
- Hinged service hatch
- Mounting bar, hooks and bolts for easy installation
- Camera ready modification with cable trunking

Installing
Please note that this is an indoor door box and that you will need a property that can cater for the size. With this owl box you will be able to install it in many positions. The box size dimentions are 85cm length, 40cm wide, 60cm depth.
Installing a owl box may require a couple of people. The box is solid and quite heavy so you will probably need ladders, ropes etc. All you have to do is choose a good position in your outbuilding. Owls need to be able to fly in and out easily. |
The full kit includes: - An easy fit colour camera with a built in microphone and night vision.
- A stainless steel alloy camera fixing bolt with thumbscrew
- 20 meter high quality, black connecting cable that allows you to connect you nest box straight to your TV, VCR or DVD recorder.
- A UK mains power adaptor
- Easy to understand setup instructions for your nest box camera kit.
- A focus test pattern
- …and even a SCART plug to connect it to your TV!

The cable supplied with this kit is a high quality product and was chosen for it's superior performance (...clean sound and vision!) Not only dose the cable carry the video and audio signals, it also delivers the power from your house to your camera, no need to for seperate DC cable! |
It's easy to setup
Just screw or bolt the camera to the wall or roof of stand (optional extra) and attach the cable. Plug the other end of the cable into the power adaptor and the SCART or AV socket on your TV. It's a good idea to set up the camera in your box near the TV first as this will make it easier to focus. The camera can focus from down to within a couple of centimetres to infinity (further away), depending on your needs.
Once setup, you will be able to detach and move the camera around where needed. As the camera will be in the dark owl box, it will permanently be in black and white/IR mode. | 
Very easy to setup
