Frequently asked questions about Green Feathers bird box cameras

Are wired or wireless bird box cameras better?

The best bird box camera for you will depend on the size of your garden, potential connectivity issues, and your preferred garden setup.

Wireless bird box cameras can generally broadcast to your TV or monitor at a maximum distance of up to 30 metres away. Some long-range wireless cameras can have a distance of up to 1200 metres, allowing you a further range to bird-watch no matter the size of your garden. Wireless bird box cameras are much easier to set up because you don’t need to install any wires, but since you’re reliant on a wireless connection to your devices, you could potentially face some connectivity problems – especially if you already struggle with Wi-Fi issues.

Wired bird box cameras, on the other hand, depending on which camera you purchase, can have up to 60 metres of distance from your network cable. Therefore, they may be a better choice if you have a larger garden – as long as you have somewhere to safely and discreetly place your wires. Bear in mind that wires could become a hazard if exposed to too much moisture or damage from wildlife, so you’ll need to find a way to cover the wires (such as by running them through waterproof tubing) or potentially bury them underground.

If you’re happy, and it is safe to do so, you can have wires running through your garden toa more stable connection and have a generally further range of bird-watching vision with wired bird box cameras. However, if you’d prefer to keep your garden wire-free, there are options to get as much range as you can with wireless cameras. Discover our long-range wireless cameras for bird boxes to find a solution that’s ideal for larger properties. 

How are bird box cameras powered?

Bird box cameras can be powered in several ways. Generally, bird box cameras are connected to mains power through a cable. However, there are options to get solar powered bird box cameras, should you not have appropriate connections or want to be a little more eco-friendly in your bird watching.

Can I connect my bird box camera to my smartphone or smart TV?

Many of our bird box cameras, including Wi-Fi, wired and wireless connections can all transmit footage over onto your smartphone or smart TV via an app. More common in Wi-Fi bird box cameras, you can connect to your camera through the official Green Feathers app to watch your bird footage live, wherever you are. 

Do you need Wi-Fi for a bird house camera?

Some of our cameras for nest boxes have Wi-Fi connectivity, and they’re super easy to set up if this is your preferred connection method. Just follow the instructions in the Green Feathers app to get started!

However, if you don’t want to rely on Wi-Fi, we also offer a range of wired cameras for bird boxes. These are ideal for larger gardens that may struggle with wireless connections, but you’ll need a way to safely install and cover the wires. 

How do I set up my nest box camera?

Wondering how to install a bird box camera? Here’s a quick guide to your Green Feathers bird box camera set up:

1. Choose a separate camera for a bird box or an all-in-one Green Feathers bird box camera kit. This will depend on whether you already have a bird nest box.
2. Choose the location of your new bird box camera.
3. Decide whether you’ll need a wired or wireless bird box camera based on the distances you’re working with.
4. Test that your new nest box camera is working properly before installing it.
5. Decide where to run the power cables. You may need to drill a hole into your bird box to connect the camera to the power cable.
6. Connect to your chosen device (e.g. smartphone or TV). You will either need to install wires for a wired connection or establish a wireless connection, such as by connecting via the Green Feathers app. You can find further instructions in our app or in the instruction manual that came with your bird box camera.
7. Hide/cover any exposed cables.

Once your bird box camera is connected to mains power, switched on, placed inside your bird box and connected to your chosen device (e.g. your phone, TV or monitor), you’re ready to start your bird-watching journey! And if you need any other bird-watching accessories, such as camera cables, bird food or LED lamps, you can find everything you need here at Green Feathers.
