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.
Please note that the lighter the colour of the interior of your nest box (including the walls) the brighter your picture picture will be (day or night).
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. |

How wireless transmitter works
|
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. All wireless plus systems come with 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. |
Wired or wireless
There are many factors that determine whether you should go for a wired or wireless solution. Both are very similar camera systems, but with a few exceptions. Here are the pros and cons of wired or wireless:
Pros for wireless plus
- Slightly easier to install than wired version
- Receiver can take upto 4 seperate cameras. The receiver acts as a switcher
- *** NEW Camera can be switched to any 4 channels avoiding any potential interference.
- *** NEW Comes with short 10m DC cable to make semi wireless and power camera 24/7
- *** NEW Wireless transmitter can be moved away from the camera an nearer the receiver for better reception quality.
Minuses for wireless as opposed to wired
- Still need power cable to camera
- Dependent on reception. Can be be prone to interference from strong electrical signals or radio signals. Must be 0-100m away or use aerial booster to extend reception - see below. However, transmitter and receiver have four changeable channels.

2008 footage...
Here is actual footage from one of our nestboxes situated above our workshop. A pair of Blue tits moved in, laid five eggs. We managed to see it all.
This footage was taken from our standard camera in one of our cedar boxes. The camera is able to capture the night and day footage of the birds.
With technology, we can now enjoy the hidden delights of nest building, egg laying, feeding, growing, communicating, fledging and so much more.
Once you start watching, it will become addictive and probably better than watch normal TV.
Please note that the footage has been compressed for the web. Actual footage will be bigger, slightly smoother with better sound.
