Nest Cam

[wezza13]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anybody had any experience/recommendations with nest box cameras, wired or wireless?

I'm after an inexpensive one, mainly so the kids can watch the footage.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Wez

A customer of mine thought he was so clever in getting a wireless nestcam only to find that the internal batteries ran out shortly after the eggs were laid and he couldn't go near the box for fear of disturbing the inhabitants.

A good article on the pros and cons of each type is here: http://www.handykam.com/Camera-bird-boxes/wired-or-wireless-cameras.html

After trying both types over the years I would recommend a wired one, also one not less than 500 lines. I get my stuff from here www.spycameracctv.com/spy/wildlife-cameras/bird-box-cameras/
