Bird Box Cam Features

Eshwood Bird Box Cam’s are supplied pre-treated with a water based wood preservative treatment which is non toxic to animal and plant life. This treatment is external only and the interior is left untreated and in it’s natural state.

Eshwood Bird Box Cam’s are provided with two ventilation slots. These are located under the eves of the roof and assist in maintaining a healthy environment within the nest box.

The floors of our nest boxes are manufactured slightly undersize. This is to facilitate drainage which is also important to maintain a healthy environment within the nest box.

Our camera systems are manufactured to our own specification. They employ the very latest in micro video technology enabling them to provide high quality video images direct to your television or video recorder. 

They are equipped with sensitive microphones which provide clear audio as life inside an Eshwood Bird Box Cam can be far from quite. 

Our cameras are encased in a robust metal housing which incorporates a tilting bracket. The 6mm lens is adjustable for focus by simply loosening a small grub screw and rotating the lens in its housing. However prior to dispatch all cameras are pre-focused to ensure optimum depth of field and picture sharpness.

Eshwood Bird Box Cams receive their power and transmit their video and audio signal via a single cable. We feel this is by far the most practical method. There are wireless video cameras on the market, many of them claiming a transmission range of 100 metres plus. We have tested several and in a typical urban environment we find that 10 metres or less is actually more realistic.
As wireless cameras still need electricity to operate you still have to rely on a cable to carry this to the camera or use batteries but these only last around 24 hours.

Other important reason why we have avoided wireless camera systems are that the transmitter in the camera seems to generate quite a lot of heat and that climatic conditions also can cause deterioration of the picture quality.

Several other household items such as baby monitors and video senders also transmit in the same frequency range as wireless video cameras.

The entrance hole in our nesting boxes are 32mm however we provide a predator proof 25mm hole reduction plate.

25mm hole is designed for Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Marsh Tits and Tree Creepers.

32mm hole will allow all of the above but also Great Tits, Crested Tits, Nut Hatches, Pied Flycatchers and Tree Sparrows.

You simply have to decide which species you want to attract.

The Eshwood Bird Box Cam’s lid is easily removable to allow cleaning of old nesting material.
