Bird Cams
June 25th, 2009 by Deer Tracking Cameras
Not only are their digital game cameras for deer hunters ... But now there is a digital bird camera on the market. It's called the Bird Cam, and it is made by a company called WingScapes. This digital bird camera measures 9" x 3 5/8" x 5 1/2" and will shoot pictures or video.
It will produce JPG picture files in one of three settings, High res, Medium res, or Low res. The video is produced in AVI format, with 640 x 480 resolution, and outputs 10 second video clips at 10 frames per second.
Four operational modes are available.
- Auto mode activates the camera when motion is detected. This is the normal mode.
- Time Lapse mode will activate the camera at specified time intervals. This is good for covering a larger area. Motion is not required to activate it.
- Manual mode allows you to use the BirdCam as a normal camera. Press the button and take a picture.
- Remote Control mode allows you to trigger when pictures are taken. Using the included remote control, you can trigger the camera by pressing a button from up to 30 feet away. So as you sit on your deck, or in the comfort of your home, you can activate the camera as you watch from your window.
There is 32 MB of included memory in this bird camera, but you have the option to add up to a 4 GB SD memory card. It will focus from as close as 18 inches out to infinity. So you can get sharp close ups.
By using the optional BirdCam Mounting Arm, you can attach your BirdCam directly to your feeder. It will be perfectly positioned to take vivid, close up pictures or video.
I like the BirdCam, and I think it is yet another great implementation of technology. What a great hobby for the bird lover or photography enthusiast! WingScape's BirdCam typically retails for $249.00, but you can find a deal here for much less ==> Bird Cams .
