Birdfi bird feeder not only provides birds in the garden a contact point for food, but also the right to see thanks to the Wlan camera, solar panel and AI bird recognition. We show how well it works in behavior.
Bird houses with a camera are around for years, but the installation attempt was always quite high. The main problems were power supply and image transmission by cable. Thanks to the solar panel, battery and WLAN camera, the cables are now unnecessary, which makes such a project interesting for widespread audiences. Bird feeder from Birdfi even goes one step further: the manufacturer promises to detect the automatic bird through AI. How good is the least premium feeder 240 Euro ,Activate coupons!) Works, shows our test.
Equipment Birdfi Feeder 2
Birdfi, the manufacturer, has several feed houses and cameras with a nesting box offer. Vogel Futterhaus Feeder 2 Duo was sent to us for testing. The set consists of real feeding stations, two WLAN full HD cameras, which contains integrated battery and a solar panel. The solar module has a Y cable, so that it can charge both cameras at the same time. Bandhan material and detailed instructions are also included.
Feed house made of stable green plastic is larger and more spacious than our expectations. Processing is very clear, but modern design is a matter of taste. Bird comes in a large pantry behind the feed plexiglass. From there, the material slides below in the wide feed output.
Feeder 2 Duo uses two cameras with a total of three lenses. One camera records an angle from the side, the other storage recording directly in front of the feeding house – with two separate lenses. The wide -angled lens is strictly directed, the second offer the horizontal object tracking for the close -up. Finally, the expansion of the area of ​​vision, but unnecessary. In our view, a camera here is completely enough, which is why we will always use the non-duo version.
tests
Thanks to clear instructions, individual components are merged quickly. Now we have to install the Birdfy app and set a user account. Once this happens, he follows the app and cameras app. First we look for cameras in the area and then enter our Wlan password. We place it in front of the camera of the bird house and some later an acoustic confirmation feels that the camera is now integrated.
If the camera and app are successfully installed, then only a suitable place for the feeder is missing. Since, thanks to power supply via Wlan and battery and solar, no cables are necessary, the placement is very flexible. Ultimately, we need only one place in the garden that has a Wlan reception and gets enough sun. Thanks to the drilling template supplied assembly supplied on a high wooden post.
Now is the time to wait. Experiences have shown that birds take some time after the structure before using for the new feed version. After about a day or two, the first interested parties dare. They are still a little hesitant and only briefly, but they test the proposal. And it seems that to come and talk – after about five days, more and more and different birds come into the house.
How do we know that? Not because we have been pending in the garden for hours, but because the app works stunningly. In addition, AI evaluates recording and, if possible, name of bird species. AI should know its own postcode for a better provision – this is the only way to find a database for relevant bird species.
Testing, recording, storage and automatic classification and notification work firmly and well. As a result, we not only see how many times the furgeous house is used, but also by which species. If only a few sparrows and blackbirds come in the first few days, a carbon tight, star and robin appear after a while. Of course, AI is not infallible, but it works a surprisingly good. Although some movements are not classified by species and sometimes artificial intelligence is also next to it, about 80 to 90 percent is accurately recognized.
If you wish, you can save different videos and photos in the cloud for 30 days and thus make a history of visitors in the garden. You only have to play something with sensitivity, otherwise the dog is running in the background or family on the roof on camera storage. The only real reduction is restricted to reach 5 GHz access with 2.4 GHz WiFi, cameras, many other wireless monitoring cameras (best list), do not face.
