Nature can be fascinating to observe from afar. However, it is completely mesmerising up-close, providing a truly unique insight into a largely hidden world.

Bird box cameras allow you unprecedented access to what goes on within the unseen confines of a backyard bird box.

These discreet wildlife cameras bring the privacy of an enclosed bird box out into the open, transmitting the action directly to your screen of choice.

The Motion-Activated Bird Cam is a camera for the outside of a bird box, rather than the inside. You can position it to face your bird box, and the motion activated camera will capture the moment that your garden birds flit in and out!

If you’re not sure which bird box camera is best for you, let us give you some tips. Below are the different types of bird box cameras available alongside some advice on what you should consider when shopping for your own wildlife camera.

First, it’s a good idea to think about how much money you’re happy to spend. Fortunately, there is a wide variety of options out there, ranging from budget choices to professional quality wildlife cameras, so you can choose a model that won't break the bank!

Next, decide what type of bird box camera best suits your needs. If you’re just getting into bird watching, it’s probably a good idea not to splurge on an expensive camera kit until you’re sure it’s something you'll love.

Types of bird box camera:

Wireless bird box camera
Wireless bird box camera with night vision
Bird box camera with a microphone
Solar powered bird box camera
Wired bird box camera
HD bird box camera

As you can see, there’s a lot to consider here. If you’re looking for a cheaper option, wired bird boxes with cameras tend to cost less than their wireless counterparts. However, if you’ve got more to spend, we highly recommend a wireless box. They’re much easier to install and give far more flexibility with placement.

You could take things a step further by investing in a HD bird box camera or even one with night vision to see what the birds are getting up to 24/7! Whatever your needs, there’s a bird box camera for you.
