Need recommendation for nesting box camera

[llmart]

I'm thinking of getting my daughter a camera for her birdhouse but have no idea where to begin or how much they cost. I think she'd like one where she could watch on her I-phone or I-pad. This spring she had baby chickadees for the first time but couldn't really get to see them or the parents from her living room window.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry, no idea.

3. Google "wifi trail camera"

They're about $100 apiece.

4. I'm looking for a small videocam that can go inside or near a birdhouse.

They're used to watch bird eggs hatch and to monitor the nest for predators.

5. A nanny cam might work for you

You’d need one with really close focusing, and you’d need to run electricity out to the tree to keep it running. They have nanny cams with night vision, which you’d need in the birdhouse.

6. Thank you for that.

I did see some of those on Amazon but didn't know if they'd work outside. The rest of the information is helpful too.

7. What about a surveillance camera like Wyze?

There is no monthly fee. They use a memory card and are fairly small. And they are cheap at about $36.00.

8. Thanks for the suggestion. I did see those online but ended up with something else.

I finally found one that's sold on green-backyard.com. I purchased the wireless one, and it had good reviews and looks like exactly what I was thinking of.
