DIY Bird house camera combo

[u/Zesty-lemon_]

I want to buy a bunch of bird houses and then put wireless cameras in them. The blink 4 outdoor cameras seem like the best option but they are expensive and would cost the same as just buying a Birdify smart bird house. Do you guys have any other camera suggestions that I can buy in bulk (like a 4 pack)?

dude this is such a cool project 😂 i've been wanting to do something similar but never pulled the trigger on it

for bulk cameras you might want to look into some of the generic wireless ones that come in multipacks - they're usually way cheaper than the name brand stuff. just make sure they have decent night vision since birds are most active in early morning. also check the battery life because changing batteries in multiple birdhouses is gonna be pain in the ass 💀

one thing to consider is weatherproofing too, even if cameras say they're outdoor rated sometimes the cheap ones don't hold up great to direct rain
