How does the Audubon BirdCam work?
The Audubon BirdCam is a weatherproof, motion-activated camera designed specifically for use with wild birds. While the BirdCam is flexible tool with advanced features, Wingscapes designed it to be very easy to use within minutes after unpacking. The Audubon BirdCam is designed to be aimed at a feeder (or other area of bird activity) and left outside. While you are away, the BirdCam's infrared sensor watches for bird activity. If any activity is detected, the BirdCam automatically takes photos, videos, or a combination of the two (depending on how it is programmed by the user).
Advanced Features
The Audubon BirdCam has some advanced features that expand how it can be used. In addition to the motion-sensitive mode described above (referred to as AUTO mode), the BirdCam can take images at a specific time-interval (TIMELAPSE mode) or used as a regular digital camera (MANUAL mode).
The Setup menu includes "EASY" photo and video programs which will handle most backyard applications. For users who want more control, the Setup menu lets users program Photo or Video, Photo Resolution, Delay, Number of Images per Event, Time/Date/Location imprint, Sensitivity of the infrared sensor, Erase Images, and Diagnostic Test. These controls provide flexibility that is helpful when using the BirdCam in different situations.

Mounting the Audubon BirdCam
Setting the BirdCam up is extremely easy. Adjustable focus keeps images sharp at any distance 18-inches or farther and a laser aiming device helps insure aim is accurate. Specially engineered to discriminate against non-bird movement, the BirdCam will rarely be triggered by a swinging feeder or moving plant. Included with the BirdCam are a pair of stretch cords that can be used to attach the BirdCam to any stationary object, such as a post or tree.
A standard tripod mount on the bottom attaches to any standard tripod or the optional BirdCam Mounting Arm (shown below). The BirdCam is rugged and built to be used outdoors. It is intended to sit and wait where the human eye can't (or won't).
BirdCam Mounting Arm available at checkout. Bird feeder and pole not included.
No trees? No feeder pole? No problem. Now you can expand what you target with the BirdCam by setting up with Vortex Pro GT Summit Tripod. Perfect for locations that lack trees or other stable platforms to mount the BirdCam. Includes attachments for mounting the BirdCam, spotting scopes, photography with SLR, video cameras, digital cameras and binoculars. Includes deluxe carry case and a 3 yr warranty. Special Price when purchased with a BirdCam! (available at checkout)

Beyond Bird Images
We get asked all the time about other uses for the Audubon BirdCam. The potential of this new technology is limited only by our imaginations. The Audubon BirdCam's motion-sensor will detect movement of any wildlife. The timelapse mode is perfect for creating stop-motion movies or flip-books. Our favorite uses of the Timelapse function so far are watching plants bloom, weather pass, or buildings leap out of the ground!
