INSTALLATION & POSITIONING
Once you have connected your camera to the app you need to decide where to site your camera. If it came
with a nest box, then site the box within easy reach of a power socket and good WiFi signal. If you purchased
a camera separately then fix the separate U shape Camera Bracket with the two screws provided into your
own next box. Then position the camera angle by swivelling the camera on its own bracket then gently
tighten x2 screws on the sides of the camera, do not over tighten. Now slide the camera fixing down into the
camera bracket being careful not to force the prongs forward otherwise the camera will not be held tightly.
The camera has been pre-focused, but you can adjust this to suit your project by loosening the tiny grub
screw on the lens barrel and gently turning the lens left or right a few mm. Note that birds will build their nest
towards the back of a nest box and 3 - 4cm above the floor area so use this as a focus point.
Where to place your nest box
Dierent nest boxes will attract dierent birds depending on the size of the entrance hole and where the box
is sited. Check which birds will be suited to your nest box, and position the box accordingly.
You should look to position the box in a quiet place in the garden, amongst other plants or trees, ensuring
that birds have a clear flight path to the nest box. Just make sure that enough natural light is allowed through
to the window panel if you have a Gardenature box – this will ensure that you receive colour images.
It is recommended that you face the box between north and east to void direct sunlight and strong winds. If
possible, tilt the box slightly forward to protect the box from driving rain.
On-Board Recording
It is possible to record motion within the camera itself. You will need to purchase a micro–SD Card and insert it
with its label to the back of the camera. You can replay the recordings within the app or the CMS/VMS software.
