See what you’ve missed… the BirdCam watches your feeders while you’re away, so you can watch whenever you want! Share your birds… now it is easier than ever to share your birds – through email, printing, video-sharing, and the web. Citizen Science… already in use by field biologists, the BirdCam is perfect for citizen science and school projects. How does the BirdCam work? The BirdCam is a weatherproof, motion-activated camera designed specifically for use with wild birds. While the BirdCam is flexible tool with advanced features, Wingscapes designed it to be very easy to use within minutes after unpacking. The BirdCam is designed to be aimed at a feeder (or other area of bird activity) and left outside. While you are away, the BirdCam's infrared sensor watches for bird activity. If any activity is detected, the BirdCam automatically takes photos, videos, or a combination of the two (depending on how it is programmed by the user). Advanced Features The BirdCam has some advanced features that expand how it can be used. In addition to the motion-sensitive mode described above (referred to as AUTO mode), the BirdCam can take images at a specific time-interval (TIMELAPSE mode) or used as a regular digital camera (MANUAL mode). An included remote control allows users to trigger the BirdCam manually from up to 30 feet away. The Setup menu includes "EASY" photo and video programs which will handle most backyard applications. For users who want more control, the Setup menu lets users program Photo or Video, Photo Resolution, Delay, Number of Images per Event, Time/Date/Location imprint, Sensitivity of the infrared sensor, Erase Images, and Diagnostic Test. These controls provide flexibility that is helpful when using the BirdCam in different situations. Mounting the BirdCam Setting the BirdCam up is extremely easy. Adjustable focus keeps images sharp at any distance 18-inches or farther and a laser aiming device helps insure aim is accurate. Specially engineered to discriminate against non-bird movement, the BirdCam will rarely be triggered by a swinging feeder or moving plant. Included with the BirdCam are a pair of stretch cords that can be used to attach the BirdCam to any stationary object, such as a post or tree. A standard tripod mount on the bottom attaches to any standard tripod or the optional BirdCam Mounting Arm. The BirdCam is rugged and built to be used outdoors. It is intended to sit and wait where the human eye can't (or won't). Accessing Photos and Videos Retrieving and using photos and videos from the BirdCam will be a snap for anyone who can use a digital camera. Images can be downloaded to computer with the included USB cable or by using an optional memory card. Images can also be viewed on a TV by using the included TV Out cable. Once on a computer, the photos and videos are easy to save and share with others - by printing, emailing, or posting to the web. Your growing collection of bird photos and videos will be great for creative projects like personal field guides, calendars, web sites, and gifts. Beyond Bird Images We get asked all the time about other uses for the BirdCam. The potential of this new technology is limited only by our imaginations. The BirdCam's motion-sensor will detect movement of any wildlife. The timelapse mode is perfect for creating stop-motion movies or flip-books. Our favorite uses of the Timelapse function so far are watching plants bloom, weather pass, or buildings leap out of the ground.
