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.

NEW improved design - Now with windows

Put your nestbox up any time

Different birds nest at different times, often having multiple clutches throughout the season.

They also use nest boxes to hide in, shelter and roost in. Some take a while to get used to a new home.

It's never too late or the “wrong time” to put up a nestbox.

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.

FREE SPRINGWATCH UPGRADE

Following the success of Springwatch this year and and to say a big thank you to our customers, we thought we would add a FREE upgrade to our existing offer.

We have upgraded the plastic hole sizers/protectors to three designer brushed stainless steel versions. These quality made items will help you select what type of bird you would like in the box as well as protect the box from predators like woodpeckers, squirrels etc.

Fit one one of hole sizers with the anti rust brass panel pins provided. Your birds will now be safe and secure in their new home.

Lower carbon footprint

The cedar nest boxes are hand crafted from FSC Cornish western red cedar. The wood is light with a beautiful fragrance. The wood comes from responsibly managed HRH Crown estates (HRH Prince Charles). As they are produced in Cornwall, they the offer lowest environmental cost and carbon footprint as well as helping local rural economy grow and prosper

Also, for every cubic foot of timber processed an extra tree is planted to offset the carbon used at the mill.

All this quality for a bargain price

Pefect for all bird watchers, professional to the non professional.

Ideal present, buy one today for all your friends and family
