I was initially concerned about the setup and how often I’d need to charge the battery, but after using it for several weeks, those worries were completely unnecessary. The setup was incredibly easy, and thanks to the solar panel, I haven’t had to charge the camera at all—it stays powered automatically. The birds love the feeder, and it’s been a joy to view the recorded images and videos. I especially enjoy checking in on the live stream—it’s a lot of fun!

We got the original bird feeder with the blue top roof for christmaa and loved it so much we decided to get this upgraded version when we got an offer for it. The original one is great and this one is basically the same but the camera is even better. The birds in our neighborhood seem to enjoy them. The green roof blends a bit better in our backyard (although the light blue roof of the other one is very pretty too, hasn’t faded at all). With both feeders we had no issue connecting it to our Google mesh network (some internet of things that only connect to 2.4ghz have had some issues but no problem here). Setting up this second feeder to our network was even easier, it found it right away and immediately set it up, may have twken 2 minutes from pushing the button to get the light to pair to fully online and added on the app. Our wifi network is very strong and we have never experienced any wifi disconnect with the older version for the last 5 months or with this new one so far. I see this one doesn’t have an antenna but it doesn’t seem to affect its connection (which is basically the most important feature of the feeder). We love getting notifications that new birds are visiting and with the lifetime AI built in this one, it couldn’t be easier to identify the birds. Love everything about this new one so far and love our older version so much, a very uplifting device when life gets too busy. Would make a great mother’s day present for most moms.

I've been using a bird feeder with camera for several months now from another manufacturer. It records nice videos and stores them in the cloud for viewing later. It also has live view. The video quality is pretty good. I received the Birdfy camera feeder with dual lenses and I feel as if I stepped up to the luxury edition. The clarity and crispness of the live view and videos is amazing. I wish I could upload some of these for you to see. The main lens records beautiful videos with a higher resolution than I experienced from my other feeder. The other lens records up close videos of the bird and actually adjusts to follow the bird as it moves! Still portraits are recorded as well. And to top it all off, the bird recognition AI software identifies the bird species. Birdfy has some great camera feeders and this is the top of the line in my opinion.
