The Wingscapes BirdCam 2.0 Motion-Activated Digital Wildlife Camera gives you a view of your backyard birds like you've never seen before. Weatherproof, rugged, and motion-activated, the BirdCam 2.0 requires very little work on your part and is built-to-last. Just mount it to your bird feeder pole, a stake, or some other such object using the included stretch cords. Leave the cam to record for days, weeks, or months and when you're ready, take out the inserted memory card.
Advanced features of the BirdCam 2.0 include the motion-sensitive mode (auto mode), timelapse mode, or the ability to use it in manual and video programs to handle most backyard applications. For more control you can also 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 testing. When you're done shooting the files can then be transferred to your computer via the memory card or using the included USB cable. You can also view your photos on your TV using the TV out cable.
The Setup menu includes "EASY" photo and video programs which will handle most backyard applications. If you want more control, the Setup menu lets you 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 2.0 for different types of bird photography

Comments about Wingscapes BirdCam 2.0 Motion-Activated Digital Wildlife Camera:
Timelapse worked fine, and image was acceptable. The movement sensor didn't seem to work consistently. I selected "no delay", and expected the BirdCam to take a picture when I moved my hand or body in front of it. Nothing happened for five or six walkbys or hand waves and then it would suddenly flash. The manual doesn't explain why this is, and so I returned the camera. No delay should mean no delay. This was all on the high sensitivity setting. I might have just gotten a bad one.

Comments about Wingscapes BirdCam 2.0 Motion-Activated Digital Wildlife Camera:
We use this camera to photograph critters as they go through a hole in the chain link fence that separates our vineyard from a chicken facilty. Right away we photographed 2 cats and 3 skunks at night. High sensitivity...too many photos of moving grass; medium sensitivity works great. Have not het photographed the animal that made the hole in the chain link fence. Works great. Only problem is reading the menu in bright daylight.
