Don't do this: Camera in a birdhouse

Recommended Posts

I have 20 cameras in my system at this point, 4 more coming. I put a bird house on the TV antenna mast and a bird house on a support pillar for the front porch, put cameras in these. The objective was to keep the cameras unobtrusive and dry

 

The lenses block birds. They do not block hornets. Imagine a guest watching a hornet fly up to a fisheye 1.8 mm lens and entering the birdhouse, seen on a 32" TV. they leave permanent finger grooves in the Lazy Boy.

 

If you put a camera in a bird house, spray the inside with a major coating of Raid, seal it up with RTV, foam rubber and a fender washer around the lens threads.

 

It is much easier to do this before you install the camera than after you have hornets in your bird house and finger grooves in your recliner
