How does the Wingscapes BirdCam 2.0 work?
The BirdCam 2.0 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 2.0 can be aimed at your feeders, purple martin house (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 2.0 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.
