Birdfy Smart Birdhouse with Camera, 2K Bird House Camera with Solar Panel, Upgraded with Metal Protection, Perfect Viewing for Nesting and Hatching, Ideal Gift

This is a great birdhouse! The camera is crystal clear, and the solar panel makes it so much easier to keep charged. I must have put it up too late in the season because the last bird sighting in the house was July 13. Now it stands empty with half a nest built. Oh well, I still check my app everyday.

Piece of junk. DO NOT BUY! Camera drops offline everyday which means you must reopen birdhouse, unscrew camera, reset, camera works for a day only to be offline the next day. Also the Briefly app is horribly buggy hence poor ratings on App Store.

We already have a Birdfy camera feeder and love it. The bird house is very well made, excellent quality, and priced well We didn't it keep it because our home WiFi is a 5 GHz system and the birdhouse only operates on a 2 GHz system. 2 GHz systems have a longer range and better penetration through walls so it is favored for this kind of use. 5GHz is faster, but doesn't have good distance or penetration. Our feeder has a dual 2/5 system, so it works well. Unfortunately, they don't seem to make a dual system for the birdhouse. If you have 2GHz wifi, buy this product. Watching eggs being laid, hatched, and baby birds being fed and grow is priceless.

Executive: How's that smart birdhouse coming along? Manager: Great, sir, just great. We've got our stupidest people on it, just like you asked. Executive: Excellent. And the price point? Manager: Comically non-competitive. Executive: Very good, very good. [Later that day] Manager: The hole should face East, correct? Engineer: That's correct, sir. Manager: And the orientation of the solar panel? Engineer: Articulates toward North, yes. Manager: Good. And the sun, it's to the Southeast? Engineer: Yes, that's correct, sir. Manager: Very good. So it won't charge the battery effectively, will it? Engineer: No, no it won't, sir. Manager: And if they try to turn the panel? Engineer: Wire gets in the way, sir. Manager: Excellent, and if they attempt any modifications to make it face the sun, the wire? Engineer: Not nearly long enough, sir. Manager: Perfect.

The battery dies within days no matter what. The solar panel is completely useless and does nothing to charge the camera. Don’t waste your money!

This birdhouse is exactly as advertised and more. From the moment I opened it till I put it up for the birds, was a easy task. It is simple, well designed easy to use and beautiful. To protect it I put a wood protector on the exterior wood. It was so simple to hang. Since I ordered it after nesting season I have had no visitors yet. I am having trouble figuring out the app as I added it to y Birdfy Birdfeeder app and hope I get that figured out by the time I get birds. I really recommend this feeder. I give it a 12 out of 10 rating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another great Birdfy product! Solid build, easy set up, excellent camera and app. I installed this summer so will have to wait for a guest to move in. But I am confident the camera and house will provide excellent service for us all. Easy camera setup and link to the Birdie app. This is our third product. Love Birdfy!

As another reviewer pointed out, the camera included is not a night vision camera with an infrared LED. It’s just a regular camera with a bright white LED that will turn on when the birds are detected. This shines a spotlight down onto the nest that I can’t help think will disturb the mother and fledglings. I have a Birdfy feeder that my family enjoys very much, but this approach isn’t good for the birds. I expected better from Birdfy.

Got my birdhouse configured and tested and so far I really like this item. The birdhouse is made with untreated pine so I opted to buy some tung oil to treat it. I am impressed with the build quality of this, it's a lot more than just a wooden box. There are vent holes, drainage holes, solar panel, and a mount to easily hang the included camera. I wish they had a little perch for the birds outside then entry hole. I added a long screw for a perch on mine. This is the only feedback I'd give other than maybe treating the wood beforehand. Using the app to pair my phone to the video camera was easy and I still get a video feed after 150 feet away from my 2.4mhz router. I got this as an Easter gift for my wife and she is excited because its new and fun. Recommended.

Love this birdhouse. The bluebirds found it wtihin days of me mounting on an existing ple with baffle and began ensting. There are 5 eggs now and I'm enjoying watching them nest and can't wait for them to hatch. I wish I could upload a video to show the quality of what's captured. Great that there aren't any subscriptions required or extra fees. I get notifications and can see automatic clips or watch live. Very pleased!
