VIDEO BIRDHOUSE AND CAM PRODUCTS
Do you offer wireless cameras?
No. For the simple reason that "wireless" cameras aren't totally
wireless. While they will transmit audio and video signals to a television,
you still have to get power to the camera. So, you would still have to run a
power cable out to your nest box. Plus, wireless cameras are about three times
more expensive than the Night Owl we now offer.
Can I extend the Red Robin color cam beyond
its 60 feet of cable?
Yes. It's easy. In fact the manufacturer said they've extended it to
1,000 feet with no loss of signal.
Can I extend the Night Owl beyond its 100 feet of cable?
Yes, the Night Owl can be extended out at least 1000 feet, by
daisy-chaining a series of our 100' extension cables, which we offer for sale.
How difficult is it to hook up the Night Owl and Red Robin cams?
It really couldn't be easier. Simply hang the birdhouse, or attach
the Red Robin to a post overlooking a feeder; run the cable into the house,
plug the audio and video plugs into the appropriate RCA jacks (video-in and
audio-in) in the back of the TV. Plug in the power and sit back and enjoy.
How do I get the cord into the house?
I'm a great one for drilling holes. Just drill through the nearest
wall, and run the cord through. Of course you must be sure to avoid any
electrical wires or water pipes, and be sure to calk the hole shut. Your
spouse isn't too keen on that idea? OK, then run the cord under a door. Most
have a 1/4 "+ gap between the floor and door, which is sealed with a flexible
plastic or rubber weather strip. Most doors will easily close with the cord
running beneath them. That won't work? How about through a loose fitting
window jam? That won't work? Do you have a sliding door? There's quite a gap
between the sliding part of the door and the permanent, non-sliding side. This
is sealed by a rubber gasket or flap through which the camera cord can easily
be pushed. Make sure the cord is then attached to the floor or baseboard so
that it does not fall into the track the door slides in.
