Wired CCD Bird Box Camera Kit 20m - SONY EFFIO

This 20m wired SONY EFFIO CCD DIY Bird Nest Box Camera Kit is a great kit to install into your existing nest box allowing you to see what's going on during the day and night.

Utilising the Sony Effio CCD sensor rather than CMOS, the camera is able to produce more realistic colours, better saturation including in B&W mode, and operate in colour mode in even lower light conditions. All in summary the CCD sensor outperforms the CMOS bird box camera kit variant.

Detailed Description

All the cameras we supply have built-in high-resolution color, audio, and night vision as standard.
This is a CCD camera with SONY Effio Sensor offering up to 628 x 582 Resolution - 700TVL horizontal resolution when rounded up. This is one of UKWC's favourites.

This is one of the best next steps up from CMOS wired bird box camera kits available on the market today and ideal for anyone who wishes to watch nature close up from their living room on a TV/monitor, or with the additional use of a USB converter connected to a PC/MAC.

Supplied in the kit is a well-presented packaging box making it ideal as a gift, a 20m cable, a small camera - the size of a small matchbox, and a power supply unit as well as basic fixings and an instruction manual.

Camera
The camera itself is small (size of a matchbox) and fitted on a tiltable bracket making installation ideal for all sorts of nest boxes, bird feeders, and general habitat nature spy.
Don't be fooled with the amateur models that look exactly the same but contain cheaper inferior chips.

Built-in night vision allows you to watch in dark environments and during night hours where insufficient lighting is present through its 10 front-faced infrared LEDs. Offering a maximum night vision range of 5m, this makes it well suitable for small nest boxes from garden birds to larger ones for owls, or even for viewing hedgehogs at night.
When activated, the camera will switch from operation in colour mode to B&W. Using infrared (IR) no glow LEDs allows the nesting occupants to be unaware the invisible lighting is switched on.

As with most of our nest boxes, a wider angled lens is preinstalled for a better viewing angle particularly for smaller nesting environments.
Should this need to be prefocused, this can be achieved by twisting the lens either CW/CCW by hand and can be removed if an even wider lens were to be installed.

The 3 in 1 cable connects directly to the camera leads (within the nest box on top of the camera), and with the other end, this splits into audio, video, and power. The AV lead connects directly to the back of a TV/Monitor through the AV input. Scart & HDMI adapters are available separately.
The third cable at the end connects directly to a 12V mains power supply.

This is a complete kit that is very easy to set up.

This is a ready-to-install kit (quick & easy) and currently a great value online today.

Typical installation (preliminary electrical test setup indoors) would normally take around 20 minutes for first-time users.
