Birdock 17+

It gets 2 stars because I can occasionally see videos of the birds. It has only recognized one bird successfully so far and sends notifications that “bird is coming!” even if it’s a person or car driving by the bird feeder. There’s no way to adjust it so you have a different range of view and it’s inaccuracy in telling the type of bird is disappointing.

I wish I could adjust the sensitivity because I get tons of pictures of nothing. And the feature where it talks about squirrel recognition does not work. I have tons of pictures of the squirrel eating the seed and the alarm to scare them off doesn’t go off on its own. Now if you’re watching the camera you can set off the alarm manually and then it works. The lid to the feeder is plastic and the squirrel kept ripping the lid off and chewing the inside of the feeder looking for food. I had to hook up some wires so the squirrel couldn’t get the lid off. And you can tell the people who made this app don’t speak English as a first language because sometimes when I go to do things the options it gives me don’t make sense because it’s using an incorrect word. I think the camera itself is good though. Although a few weeks ago I had a day where it would not connect to the app no matter what I did and then randomly
The next day it did. It’s been fine ever since. So maybe just be aware of these issues when purchasing.

Avoid this feeder and app. Worked one day for us and then it started not sending me notifications. Re-loaded the app and you start all over again you get some notification with is limited as far as what you can do on this app. Does not pick up birds without the SD card which is bought separately and when you put that in, it does not recognize it. So I don’t know how many times a person has to redo everything in order for this unit to work. suggestion, do not get or purchase
