Guys (its been a while)

That time of year again and I am sure I have asked before but cannot find my thread, camera for watching a bird box?

I was looking to put a camera in a birdbox however I have been slow on the start and have missed the opportunity of putting one in a bird box. My thoughts are £150.00 to spend, looking to put a camera on a branch :crazy: and via Bluetooth watch the comings and goings of mum and dad Great Tit doing their thing. I guess this is as good as it gets this year. So looking for a camera that will send a signal to a laptop say 30mtrs away. Got any ideas guys :ugeek: ? Make my wifes 50th birthday a special one please (of course I get the credit :D )

Last year she used my HW100 and my version of Terry1001's build and sat for hours with everything set up resting on cushions, we all know it.... Happy wife, quiet life :thumbup:

Many thanks

No suggestions, Something I said?

Well thanks for the pointers... I guess its rifles and hunting only. I guess that's ok as I don't want to shoot them.

watcha Andy

not really up on these......but would think your best bet would be a mini portable IP camera, something like these http://bestandsecure.com/top-5-best-por ... p-cameras/

afraid you'll have to do a bit more research as to whether they are suitable for out-doors use, may have to make some sort of enclosure :think:

hopefully this helps

cheers jock
