OldeEnglish Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I’m sure I’m not the only person who surveils their chickens! Right now we have three Wyze Cams in our Cube, one in the nest box, one in the roost and one looking down the run. They are such fun! We have been able to see each of our girls lay their very first eggs! Show us your ChickenCams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 You are not the only one I have egg box cam and Cube cam 😎 I was thinking about Run cam but haven't got one yet. I love how yours are all snuggled together in the 3rd picture. I also have 2 nest box cams in my bird boxes. Nothing gets any privacy in my garden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldeEnglish Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 That’s awesome. I’m just blown away by the quality and capabilities of these $25 cameras. Soon enough my entire garden will be a surveillance state too 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks lin I'm in the US, so just keep that in mind. The cameras are from a company called Wyze, available there or on Amazon. The incredible thing is that they cost $19.99 each right now (and even when not on sale they're <$25) and they work brilliantly, with a particularly good mobile app. They have a more expensive version that has a battery, but I prefer the wired ones, since we already have power run to the coop. The cameras have night vision (see my first three images) as well as motion detection with zones and schedules and all kinds of bells and whistles. Stick a cheap memory card in them and you can record many hours of video to replay - we use this to see which chickens have started laying, but detecting daytime motion in the nest box. See I'm a total nerd. Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
