Not only is the quality of footage fabulous, but the app is fantastic too, giving you information about who visits, using AI to recognise the species. You can view all sorts of stats, to see how many visits you have had, weather conditions and species.
You can also see other cams that are near you and all around the world and chat to other users, sharing your footage.
Once occupied, you can live stream your camera onto your Facebook page too.
What is 'Nest Box Live'?
This is a complete kit, including nest box, camera, lighting and app allowing you to watch and monitor the activity in your nest box. The commercial kit, you can buy is the complete nest box kit. Other bespoke kits are currently being developed, such as the kestrel box set-up , and others, that you may see on their live FB page.
What do I need for this nest box kit to work?
The kit need to connect to the Internet in order to work. It uses an ethernet cable and an adaptor to allow the camera to connect to your Internet and to receive power for the camera and the lighting. You would need to run the cable to your router or network switch. It was easy to install and connected striaght away to my Internet, allowing me to see the inside of my box.
Why NestBox Live?
This piece of kit was sent to me to trial after I had seen it online and was intrigued as to how well it worked. I often have queries as to which nest box kits to buy. I have quite a sophisticated set-up here with IP cameras, network switches and iCatcher console. For many, they want a simple set-up to enable them to watch their nest box and see what is happening inside. I do not want to recommend a kit until I have trialled it and put it through its paces. This is what I have done with the 'Nest Box Live' box and I am delighted to be able to recommend this fabulous little set-up.
