We tried this without much success a few yrs ago, but stuff has moved forward. I know it's probably a little late now for spring, but would like to try again.

Has anyone used the green feathers stuff? Any other recommendations?

Hiya - yeah I bought a green feathers cam earlier this year to put in a feeding station in the garden.

It’s brilliant as long as your wifi reaches to wherever you decide to put the camera. Picture quality from my one is v impressive given its in the near pitch black all the time.

A million times better than a previous one someone got me which was supposed to be tunable from the tv - but had a range of about 8 feet and was blocked by literally everything

Very impressed, camera clear with enough range.

Not sure whether to configure as an open fronted box or not.

10 mins after installing, looks like our 1st viewing.

Been using 2 of the green feathers WiFi cameras for about 3 years now, faultless if you have a reasonable signal. I also have a raspberry pi zero camera in one box, which cost a lot less and does the job almost as well. This time of year we have a Bluetit roosting overnight in one of our boxes so there may well be something to see even this time of year.

I've left the front off, hoping for robins or wagtails.
