1. How do I watch birds on my phone?

Once your smart birdhouse is connected to the Birdfy app, you can watch your avian tenants right from your phone! The Birdfy app is free to download and offers live streaming, auto-recorded clips, and instant alerts - all for free!

2. How do I pair the Birdfy Nest with the Birdfy app?

Ensure your device is fully charged before starting the pairing process. Download the latest version of the Birdfy app from the App Store or Google Play. After downloading, create an account, select 'Add Device' on the home page, choose the product you purchased, and follow the in-app instructions to pair your device. *Please make sure you are using a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.

3. Does the Birdfy Nest require Wi-Fi or network cables?

It connects via Wi-Fi, specifically on the 2.4GHz frequency. Why 2.4GHz? Compared to 5GHz, it offers a wider range and stronger signal through walls, making it ideal for outdoor use. This frequency is a common standard for most security cameras and smart devices, ensuring a stable and reliable connection.

4. How can the Birdfy Nest be mounted outdoors?

The Birdfy Nest supports only one mounting method: hanging.

1. Hanging nestboxes offer several advantages:

• Cooler Temperatures: Hanging boxes benefit from tree foliage, which provides shade and keeps the box cooler than ground-mounted options.
• Easy to Relocate: These nestboxes can be moved easily, making them versatile.
• Safer for Fledglings: Fledglings are already close to trees, reducing their risk of predator attacks when taking their first flight from the nest box to the safety of the branches.

1. Important tips for hanging your birdhouse:

• Height Matters: Hang the nestbox at least 8 feet (2.4 meters) off the ground, whether on a tree or other structure.
• Distance from the Trunk: Place the nestbox at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) from the main tree trunk to further protect it from predators.

Warning: If you live in an area with severe predator issues (e.g., climbing snakes), consider hanging your nestbox on a pole equipped with a stovepipe baffle. This setup provides better protection for the nesting birds.

5. Can the Birdfy Nest be used in rainy or snowy weather or in Canada?

The Birdfy Nest operates within a temperature range of 14℉ to 113℉ (-10℃ to 45℃). If the temperature falls outside this range, the camera may not power on or record motion-triggered videos. With an IP65 waterproof rating, the Birdfy Nest is built to withstand rain and snow, ensuring reliable performance in various weather conditions.

6. Where are my bird videos and photos saved?

Your bird videos and photos are stored in the cloud, so no need to worry about using up your local storage (phew!). Birdfy provides FREE unlimited cloud storage for the duration of the current story. Once the story ends, you’ll have 30 days to download your videos before they are permanently deleted.

7. How does the remote camera controller work?

With the optional 10-foot range camera controller, you can easily manage the power, settings, and even reboot the Birdfy Nest from a safe distance. No need to disturb your feathered friends—keep their space sacred while ensuring everything runs smoothly with remote access!

8. How does the Story feature work?

Story is a unique Al function available on the Birdfy Nest. lt consists of two parts: bird behavior identification and automatic video clip generation.

• Bird Behavior ldentification: Al recognizes bird actions, notifying you of key stages like nesting and hatching, storing them as video clips.
• Automatic Video Clip Generation: Post fledging, Al merges and edits clips into engaging breeding process videos.

Note: Story is free, activated automatically with Birdfy Nest.
