I've just made a tawny owl box and want (well, swmbo does smile)to get a WiFi camera for it. The signal is good and I can get power easily enough so I'm after something reliable and easy to use. I don't necessarily need to be able to access it from outside the house but I guess that's a nice to have option.

We have 2 of these https://www.green-feathers.co.uk/collections/bird-... been running 2 years now never miss a beat, not cheap but do just work.

A pic from the above cam in my bluetit box, it will do a bigger resolution but i tend to run it at this resolution.



I also have a raspberry pi zero with a noir camera on another box but that will take a lot more work to setup, does cost a lot less though

Damn! That's the one she's eyeing up. Now I have to admit she's right?!?

Just thought I would add a pic of the Bluetit roosting this morning to show the night vision.
