Whether you’re a serious birder or just curious about backyard birding, you’ll love using the Wingscapes BirdCam to capture digital bird photography and bird videos. Weatherproof, motion-activated and easy to use, this revolutionary bird feeder camera will enhance your backyard bird watching experience.

A new way to enjoy bird watching

The Wingscapes BirdCam makes it easy to monitor a bird feeder or bird house. Easy enough for beginning users but flexible enough to work in a variety of conditions, this innovative bird camera delivers impressive bird photography every time. You’ll never look at your backyard birds in the same way!

How does the BirdCam work?

Wingscapes designed it to be very easy to use within minutes of unpacking. Simply aim the BirdCam wherever a bird will land and leave it outside. While you’re away, the BirdCam's infrared sensor watches for bird activity. When activity is detected, the BirdCam automatically takes digital photos, videos(with sound!) or a combination of the two (depending on how it is programmed by the user).

Advanced BirdCam features

The BirdCam has advanced features that expand your bird photography options. In addition to the motion-sensitive mode described above (referred to as AUTO mode), the BirdCam can be used as a regular digital camera (MANUAL mode). 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 you program Photo or Video, 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 for different types of bird photography.

This unit is the 5.0 Megapixel(jpg files) and has High(2560x1920), Medium(1600x1200) or Low(800x600) Photo and Video Resolution options(AVI files, 640x480) . Built in Memory Card is 32 MB and the Lens Field of View is 52 degrees(roughly equivalent to a 46mm focal length in film camera). The camera operates on 4 D-cell batteries and should last approx. 9-12 weeks depending on usage. Focus Range is 18 inches to infinity.

Primary difference between the Audubon Bird Cam and the BirdCam 2.0 is the 2.0 has 8 Megapixel resolution(but same video resolution on both models) and it also adds time lapse photography and auto flash for nightime shots.

Mounting the BirdCam

Setting the BirdCam up is extremely easy. Adjustable focus keeps your bird photographs 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 is 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 availalbe below. 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 BirdCam Photos and Videos

Retrieving and using your bird photos and videos from the BirdCam will be a snap for anyone who has used a digital camera. Just download your bird photography or bird videos to your computer using the included USB cable or an optional memory card. You can also view your bird photography on a television by using the included TV Out cable. Once on a computer, your bird 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.
