I have got 3 gardenature IP camera sets now, I have put them in my 3 most popular boxes.
Tree box as you know, The front wall box which has been used a few times (including last year) and of course my sparrow box.
I have decided not to put any led lights at all in my sparrow box / front wall box, I want to see how the camera performs all season without any lightening just natural lighting off windows.
I have added 2 small windows in the sparrow box!
My front wall box may struggle on rainy very dull days because the window is right by the eves so its not getting no where near the light that the tree box is getting but if it struggles this year i'll add lighting next year.
Today its a dull frosty day and all the boxes are showing colour so not bad!
This is a picture from my APP, I have them on the app and on the laptop, Also got motion detection set up on the app.
I did want to try a greenfeathers IP camera (like Amanda's) to test it against the gardenature ones, However I have had nothing but trouble with greenfeathers, The set was delivered WITHOUT the camera because they sent it in such shit packaging that it ripped to bits and royal mail put it in a plastic royal mail bag and still delivered it even know parts was missing.
In greenfeathers defends they did send out a new camera straight away for next day delivery, I get the camera and it doesn't work!! phone greenfeathers back to be told oh yes that sounds like a faulty camera send it back for replacement, I said no i am sending it back for a refund at this point haha
Gardenature managed to get me an IP camera out within 24 hours so its been fitted in the sparrow box this morning!
Sorry for the long post just been an ordeal the last few days
all I can do now is sit back and wait for the season to start!
All my remain boxes still have the standard set up of camera / led light its only these 3 that have been upgraded to IP cameras!
Tree box is still getting daily visits
