** UPDATED VIDEO LINK ** : • How To Build a BIRD HO...
In this video, I build a bird house with a camera installed inside - perfect for watching birds make their nests, lay their eggs, and raise their chicks. I install this bird house using special clips designed to hook into the overlap vinyl siding I have on my house. I also need to upgrade the external outlet cover on the side of the house with a weather-proof model.

This is excellent, I love seeing others' ingenuity with building DIY camera birdhouses! I'd been struggling for a while to come up with something for a bluebird camera house, but [finally] settled on a Gilbertson style PVC house using a Wyze Cam Outdoor and solar panel to keep it charged. Love your approach though, especially with the siding mount. Looks good!

Thanks! Appreciate your comment. Haven't seen the Gilbertson PVC, but sounds interesting...solar is a great idea ....can set it up anywhere 👍

Does the Waze cam focus close enough to work in this application?

@@AnthonyAntTonyNot out of the box, sadly. I forget what the set focal distance is, but I had to disassemble mine to refocus the view so it was about 5-6” away. It’s pretty easy to do, but of course it voids the warranty.

What about for an American Robin, or Bluejay?

@natureyardlife Жыл бұрын

Good question.....those two types of birds like to use open platforms or ledges to make their nests on - They prefer not to be enclosed completely. You can watch my video on making a robin's nest if you are interested in attracting those types of birds to your garden : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mZ2Aeshpz9jNl58.html

Filming the nest is still possible - you will need to set up the camera a short distance away and make sure it is well protected from the weather.

Sorry, i have another question, I'm doing this project, and the base is 4,5 x 5,5, so I think the walls should have 4.5 not 5 inches, I'm in wrong?

@@snap8284 I can't see your build to speak directly to it, but the extra half inch was included for the 45 degree angles cut on the ends. You may need to make a minor adjustment here or there. All the best with your build!

@@natureyardlifeThanks, I did similar nest box with osb plate, but dimensions were too big and the box is very heavy, I installed it on my old pine. Now I want to do smaller box, because my juniper is weak. I use same camera model, it's really good, because you can set camera on night/ day mode in app, and you can watch records from phone.

Why bird gouse is upside down

@natureyardlife 10 ай бұрын

It is designed this way to accommodate a camera that provides an angled side view from inside, rather than a straight downward view like a typical birdhouse.
