Bird House Cam - Just installed

[Steve W]

This site helped me figure out some issues with my AliExpress camera. Mounted it in a bird house and I am waiting for a permanent resident. I put two videos together showing the process. The first is about the bird house. The second shows the process of getting the Ethernet cable up in the tree.

Fantastic..

A bird stopped by today for over two minutes. Maybe it is going to make an offer...

Does that camera have an ir cut filter? Colors appear off..

 

[Steve W]

Good question. I don't understand why it is so purple. I will take a look at the setup.

Generally you see that when there is no ir cut filter or it is stuck...

So there is a IR_Cut setting for IR Synchronous Switch or Automatically Switch. It was on IR Synchronous Switch. I have changed it to Automatically Switch. I will see what happens tomorrow when the sun comes up.

Thanks for mentioning it.

Just an update, the birds made a nest and raised a few chicks. I have put the clips together to produce a follow up video showing the nest each day from the first egg hatching to the time they flew away.

Great job! Fun to watch- thanks for posting!

I set up basically the same thing. A chickadee started making a nest but didn't finish for some reason. The only other thing I saw were wasps, so it looks like wasps chased mine out.

How did you did your trenches?

I ran most of the conduit through a 4" drain that was not being used. The rest was dug by hand,
