For Christmas this year, I received a Smart Bird Feeder Camera. This feeder has provided my husband and I with hours of fun, watching birds up close. Every time a bird lands on this feeder the camera takes a ten second video and then sends it to my phone. Features of the Smart Bird Feeder Camera

Features I Particularly Enjoy
One of the features I really enjoy is the ability to share my photos with family and friends. When the camera sends the video to my phone, I then have the ability to share that photo with family and friends. There are numerous ways to share the video but two of the ways I use most often are by posting the video on my Facebook page or for a smaller audience I can message or email the video to the person of my choosing. The video below is one that I emailed to myself and then downloaded it on my computer. It shows the camera captured a Tufted titmouse. These little birds are quite quick, and I am not often able to capture them on camera, so I was really excited to see them on the feeder camera. You will also notice at the end of the video a little chickadee approach.
Here is a photo that I was able to take of the Tufted titmouse sitting on the feeder. I had a camera set up inside my house to take this photo, but it gives you another view of the bird feeder.
Easy Set Up
I found the bird feeder camera easy to set up. It came with easy-to-follow instructions and after unpacking everything from the box and making sure I had everything, I proceeded to download and install the Vicohome Ap on my phone. Next, I followed the instructions to sync the camera with my WiFi. I then had to determine where to place the camera to receive good connections and my deck post worked great so that is where the bird feeder is hanging. In less than 30 minutes that feeder was ready to photograph the first bird.
Birds Find Feeder
It did take a couple of days for the birds to find the feeder but once they did, they kept coming. I am surprised by the wide variety of birds that have found the feeder, so far, I have had the following birds posing for the camera.
- Eurasian Tree Sparrow
- House Finch
- Tufted titmouse
- Chickadee
- Northern Bluebird
- Carolina Wren
