Green Backyard WATERPROOF WiFi Nest box camera | The perfect bird box camera!
This nest box camera is perfect for mounting in a nest box of almost all bird species, and can also be placed very well in a hedgehog house. Of course other applications are conceivable, but the system is not completely water resistant, so it must be placed in a sheltered place (preferably dry in a hutch or house). The camera needs to be powered by a 12V mains connection. Therefore, the set comes with an AC adapter and a waterproof power cable of 10 meters. Furthermore, this version of the hive camera has a built-in WiFi receiver, so the camera can connect to your existing WiFi network and in this way view a live stream of the hive in the app that comes with the camera. Images can also be stored locally on a Micro SD memory card that can be inserted into the camera (available as an accessory, up to 128GB). The advantage of this is that you can, for example, look back the next morning (or days later) when there was activity in the nest box or hedgehog house. Without a memory card you can only watch live, and not look back afterwards what happened. The maximum capacity of this micro SD memory card is 128GB. Depending on the chosen recording settings, this means the camera can store about 1-2 weeks of video before the oldest images are automatically overwritten. Finally, the hive camera automatically detects a change in the image and can send an alarm notification to the app on your phone based on that. So you get a notification if, for example, a bird or hedgehog is 'home' at that moment!

Green Backyard WATERPROOF WiFi Nestbox camera |Alternatives
This hive camera is really ideal for almost every application! However, if you do not have access to a good WiFi connection at the location of the camera, but you could provide an Ethernet connection (network cable) at the site of the camera, then you should choose the IP model of this Nest Box camera. This is the same camera, but with an Ethernet cable connection. This usually provides the most stable connection. The power supply of this Nest Box camera also runs via the Ethernet cable (PoE), so you only need to lay 1 cable to the Nest Box camera.
Green Backyard WATERPROOF WiFi Nestbox camera | Accessories
This nest box camera comes standard with a 12V AC adapter, a 10 meter long waterproof 12V extension cable, and the mounting hardware needed to place the camera in a nest box, hedgehog cage, or other indoor cage. Thus, it is important to ensure that there is a power point and an internet connection (WiFi in this case) on site or at least near the camera. If the distance to the power point is more than 10 meters from the nest box camera, you may want to order one or more 12V extension cables to bridge the distance (the individual cables can easily be plugged together to generate a longer total length). If you are unable to get a strong WiFi signal close to the camera, there are alternative solutions, but that requires a bit more research (solar panels or external batteries for power supply are an option, for example, and for the WiFi connection, a 4G WiFi Hotspot or an additional Access Point would be an option). Please contact us directly to find out what is possible!
Furthermore, it is recommended to order a micro SD memory card for this nest box camera, so you can not only stream live but also store images locally on the memory card. The advantage is that you can look back the next morning (or days later) when there was activity in the nest box or hedgehog house. Without a memory card you can only watch live, and not look back afterwards what happened. The maximum capacity of this micro SD memory card is 128GB. Depending on the chosen recording settings, this means the camera can store approximately 1-2 weeks of video before the oldest images are automatically overwritten.
