The BEST Side View Nest Box Camera System available on the market today! View inside box We have taken our award winning Nest Box Camera System & added a unique twist by literally turning the traditional bird box design on its head….well almost! The SIDE VIEW BIRD BOX design offers garden birds a warm & secure place to raise their family but offers the viewer a unique side on view (including the entrance hole) rather than the traditional top down view. The camera, cabling & connections are mounted behind an opaque plastic panel fitted with a small slot for the camera lens to peep through into the nesting chamber. As the camera is mounted at the top of the sloping side wall, nesting material & mess is kept well away from the camera at the base of the box. This bird box camera will provide colour images during daylight hours, there is also a built in microphone so you can hear as well as see what is going on. This camera nestbox system will be delivered fully tested & ready assembled so all you have to do is position the box, plug it in & start watching!INSIDE THE SIDE VIEW NESTBOX1. The nest well

- Our Side View nestbox offers market leading quality & value for your money. The birdbox is handmade by craftsman at our own workshops. We use only high grade Western Red Cedar (sourced from well managed forests) & follow guidelines suggested by the RSPB & British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). This bird box has a 32mm entrance hole & is suitable for a wide range of garden birds including: Blue Tits Coal Tits Marsh Tits Great Tits House Sparrows You may read in various publications that the entrance hole must be a particular size to attract a specific species of bird (eg. 25mm for Blue Tits etc). However, these are purely guidelines & our experience has shown (including consultation with the RSPB for supply of their branded kit) that a 32mm hole will not deter Blue Tits, or any of the other small hole nesting garden birds. Using a 32mm hole can serve to maximise the chances of a pair of birds nesting in the box. The nest box has a small camera compartment to house the camera & connections. A quick release camera mounting bracket is also fitted to hold the camera in the optimum position. The Feeder Cam
- What makes this camera system so versatile & different from anything else on the market today is that if a pair of birds do not nest in your birdbox, or it is no longer the nesting season, simply remove the front of the nest box, unclip the camera & pop it into the supplied Feeder Cam housing. Hang a bird feeder from the housing & you will now have close up footage of birds on your feeder & a nest box that can still be used at a later date. A truly versatile system that can be used all year round. The Camera
- All of our nest box cameras are manufactured to our own
Specification & exacting standards. The camera used in this kit is one of our standard resolution 420TVL (TV lines) CMOS type cameras with IR (infrared). This will produce good quality colour images during the day & black & white images at night. Infrared IR light is invisible to the human eye & to birds, so will not effect roosting or nesting birds in any way. This bird box camera also has a built in microphone so you can hear as well as see what is going on. The 3.6mm lens is pre-focused to the correct position but can easily be adjusted should you need to. The Rest Of The System
- Consists of professional x 3 core cable (Audio/ Video/12v DC) connected to the camera in the nest box at one end, whilst the other end of the cable needs to be routed into your property. The connectors are black, yellow & white. The black one is for power & connects to the supplied 12V DC mains power adaptor (looks like a mobile phone charger). The remaining yellow (video) & white (audio) connectors can either plug into a spare AV/AUX socket on your TV, video / DVD recorder, or a spare scart socket using the supplied scart adaptor. Switch on the 12v mains adaptor, then select the appropriate AV channel on your TV, sit back & wait for the show to start. This Bird Box Camera Kit contains: High quality bird box with integrated camera compartment & quick release camera bracket (Camera can easily be moved between boxes & feeders) High quality Feeder View Cam housing with Niger Seed Feeder to help get you started.

Would you like to connect this camera system to your computer? This kit can be connected straight to your computer if you have the appropriate A/V connections. If you do not have this connection or you plan to use a laptop we would recommend using one of our Video to USB (Universal Serial Bus) adaptors. All you need is a spare USB (Universal Serial Bus) socket. Software is supplied to get you started but once connected you can pretty much use any piece of software that can accept a live video input (eg. most webcam software). We recommend I-catcher Wildlife. This has full motion detection capabilities & much more. The system is supplied with clear easy to follow instructions. You will also find lots of other useful information in our Advice & FAQ sections too. You will have the opportunity to add accessories to this kit such as extension cables & the video to USB (Universal Serial Bus) adaptor after you click on the ADD TO BASKET button above.
