wireless nestbox inspection camera - 6B

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

I have designed this Wireless Nest Box Camera specifically for Australian Wildlife & Educational applications. It is ideal for peeking inside nest boxes or tree hollows and also provides a safe non intrusive method of checking active nests for eggs or chicks. Camera transmits live color video from the tree tops for safe viewing on the LCD Monitor at ground level. Multiple LCD Monitors can be used allowing groups of people to view the live video from a single Nestbox Camera. The camera transmits wirelessly so there are no annoying cables to get snagged up in the tree branches. Ideal for Nestbox Surveys, Landcare Groups, Outdoor Education, University & Wildlife Managers.

Proudly manufactured in Victoria. PVC camera housings are extruded & machined in my Mornington workshop where electronic assembly & testing also takes place. I have over 30 years experience designing & manufacturing remote wildlife monitoring systems and am now semi retired. I support Landcare & offer all Landcare Groups discount pricing.

 

ABOUT THE CAMERA:

Nest Box Camera features a 1200TVL resolution Super HAD sensor with glass objective lens (not a cheap plastic lens). A single LED (light emitting diode) provides wildlife eye safe soft white light illumination for the camera.

The compact & lightweight camera has 200mm of forward projection (refer photo above) & a maximum diameter of 28mm making it suitable for use with most standard species nest boxes. I do offer custom made to order cameras with extended reach or other options, please ask. The camera has a field of view of 70cm x 40cm at a distance of 25cm & can even be readily converted to a UPWARD LOOKING CAMERA by rotating the camera tube 180° making it suitable for Bat Boxes. Mounting port is threaded 3/4" x 5TPI and screws onto painter's extension poles.

 

LCD MONITOR/ RECORDER - 6B:

The 6B Monitor has a 12cm LCD screen to view the live video from the Nest Box Camera. It also records photos or video saved to a micro SD card. Importantly all image files are imprinted with date/ time of capture allowing identification of where they were taken.

Our Nest Box Camera transmits on a local area - open access wireless network allowing multiple Monitors to connect and view the live streaming video simultaneously; ideal for school groups.

A sun shade also assists when using the monitor outdoors in bright sunshine.

6B Monitor has an internal rechargeable battery that provides hours of use. Can be charged in the field using your in vehicle 5volt / 2 amp mini USB car phone charger. LCD screen size measured diagonally. (LCD Monitor is imported - there are no Australian manufacturers of this product.)

SMART BATTERY PACK:

The Camera is powered by a rechargeable Smart battery pack that is housed in a nylon pouch secured near the top of your extension pole using two cable ties. A fully charged Smart battery will provide up to 7 hours of camera run time. Additional Smart batteries can be purchased if you require extended run time.

The four led display indicates battery "state of charge", intelligent circuitry prevents over charging or excessive discharge. Smart battery can be charged in the field in under 3 hours using your in vehicle 5volt / 2 amp micro USB car phone charger.
