Camera in nest box: livestream and timelapse for every breeding season
- Live streaming shows the nest 24/7: from small songbirds to peregrine falcons and storks
- With the right placement, you prevent interference and won’t miss a moment
- Timelapse storage lets you relive the breeding season afterwards: hatching, feeding, and fledging
What should you consider when placing a camera in a bird box?
Position the camera so it doen't get in the way or disturb nesting behavior. Ensure a solid, vibration-free mount and avoid direct light shining into the lens. Also consider practical aspects such as cable routing and accessibility for maintenance. A good installation delivers reliable footage throughout the season, even under changing conditions.
Live streaming and timelapse: get more out of the season
With live streaming you can follow everything in real time: building, incubation, and feeding. By also storing timelapse footage, you create a compact and enjoyable overview of the entire breeding process. Ideal for looking back on the chicks hatching and the daily feeding routines.
Benefits

Which nest boxes can you live stream?
Live streaming works for virtually any nest box size: from compact boxes for robins to larger setups for peregrine falcons and storks. The key is that the camera and mounting fit the available space and viewing angle. That way you get a calm, stable view of the nest without disturbing the birds, while still capturing enough detail to observe behavior, feeding, and growth.
