How to Set Up Our Bird Feeder Camera; the WiFi BirdCam Pro
At NatureSpy, we're all about helping people connect with nature and birdwatching is such a great tool to do that.
But it's not always practical or possible to get outside with your binoculars, or maybe you just love popping out a few seeds in your garden and watching the flurry of activity begin! Whichever of these may apply to you, we're really excited to have developed our first bird feeder camera that identifies birds - the WiFi BirdCam Pro. Here you can find out how the WiFi BirdCam Pro can elevate your garden feeding experience.
Unlike other bird feeder cameras, the WiFi BirdCam Pro combines high-quality video, AI bird identification, and a user-friendly app to create the ultimate bird watching experience. In this post, we’ll talk you through how to set up your bird feeder camera and why the WiFi BirdCam Pro is the best choice for bird enthusiasts in the UK. You can also watch our overview of the WiFi BirdCam Pro here.
How to Set Up the WiFi BirdCam Pro Bird Feeder
Setting up the WiFi BirdCam Pro is straightforward and designed for convenience. Full set-up instructions are provided with the BirdCam but here's the bird feeder camera set-up basics:
Power Up
When first using the BirdCam, charge it up fully (until the LED status turns from WHITE to OFF) to maximise your camera's battery life.
App, App, and Away
Download the ‘NatureSpy’ App from the App Store or Google Play Store. Follow the app's instructions to connect the camera to your Wi-Fi network and follow the included manual for full details on connecting and pairing your device.
Choose the Perfect Spot
The best location for a bird feeder camera is a location in your garden that is already frequented by birds or an area where you hope to encourage them with regular feeding. Ideal spots are near trees or shrubs where birds feel safe. Make sure the spot has a strong Wi-Fi signal and we recommend mounting the camera so the solar panel can get some sunshine.
Easy Mounting
The BirdCam comes with a bracket and screws to easily mount securely to trees or posts. Alternatively, the bracket has gaps for a strap (not included) so you can strap it in position if you prefer.
Filling the Feeder
Fill the feeder using the refill flap located behind the solar panel on the top of the feeder. The feeder can hold 2.5 litres of food, so fill it up with a variety of nuts and seeds to attract different species. The clever design of the BirdCam Pro means the seed tray keeps gently refilling as the birds pick from the tray. Regularly replenish the food to keep birds coming back.
Then just sit back and keep an eye on the app! Tap on the camera to connect and you can immediately see exactly what's happening at any moment. Motion alerts will also let you see at a glance what you've missed, and you can watch videos via the Playback option. You can also easily share videos or stills directly from the app to other platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, or Instagram.

Solar Power Option

Squirrel-Proof Design
The BirdCam Pro has been designed with squirrels in mind. The lid of the feeder can be screwed shut to prevent squirrels from accessing the feed. It also comes with a choice of perch depending on the level of squirrel activity. The pre-installed metal perch supports 'chunkier' visitors like squirrels, preventing them from snapping it. If you don't have any visiting squirrels, you can swap to the plastic perch included in the box.
