Green Backyard IP Nestbox camera | The perfect nest box camera!
The Green Backyard IP nestbox camera is perfect for in a nestbox of almost all animal species. Of course other applications are possible, but the system is not completely water resistant, so it must be protected (preferably dry in a hutch or house). This version of the nestbox camera has a network connection, allowing this camera to be directly connected to an Ethernet cable (or network cable / UTP cable). The power for the camera is also supplied via the network cable (PoE technology) so there is no need for an extra cable. Alternatively, this camera can be powered with a 12V AC connection. However, no accessories are included with this option. 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 the next morning (or days later) you can review the activity in front of the camera. Without a memory card you can only watch live what happens in front of the camera. The maximum capacity of this micro SD memory card is 128GB. Depending on the settings, this means the camera can store about 1-2 weeks of video before the oldest images are automatically overwritten. Finally, the nestbox camera automatically detects a change in the image and can send an alarm notification to the app on your phone. With this you immediately get notified when there is activitiy in front of your camera!

Green Backyard IP Nestbox camera | Alternatives
This nestbox camera is really ideal for almost every application! However, if you don't have the possibility to provide an Ethernet connection (network cable) at the site of the camera, yet you do have access to a good WiFi connection, then you should choose the Green Backyard WiFi Nestbox camera. This is the same camera, but with a WiFi connection. Are you looking for a similar system, but for outside the nestbox (so exposed to the weather)? have a look at the Green Backyard IP outdoor camera. This camera is waterproof and meant to be placed outside, for example aimed at a bird feeder or at the entrance of a nestbox.
Green Backyard IP Nestbox camera | Accessories
This nest box camera comes standard with a 30 cm network cable and a 20 meter network cable. In addition, a PoE connector is included to add power to the network cable. You place this between your router and the supplied network cable (if necessary). Also, all the mounting materials are included in order to place the camera in a nesting box, hedgehog house, etc. It is therefore important to ensure an internet connection on site or at least in the proximity of the camera. If the distance is longer than 20 meters, you can use a longer network cable (up to a maximum of 100 meters is recommended). If this does not work, there are alternative solutions, but that requires some more research (solar panels or external batteries as a power supply are an option, and for the IP connection a 4G Router would be an option). Please contact us, so we will find out what is possible!
Furthermore, it is recommended to order a micro SD memory card for this nestbox camera, so in addition to live streaming, you can store images locally. This has the advantage that you can look back at the images the next morning (or days later) when there was activity in the nestbox or hedgehog house. Without a memory card you can only watch live what happens in front of the camera. The maximum capacity of this micro SD memory card is 128GB. Depending on the settings, this means the camera can store approximately 1-2 weeks of video before the oldest images are automatically overwritten.
