Setup & Care Tips
- Face the camera away from direct sun (north or east is best) to avoid glare and backlit birds.
- Mount it so birds perch 4 to 24 inches from the lens; that is the camera's focus range.
- Make sure your 2.4 GHz WiFi signal is strong at the mounting spot.
- Fill one bin with Medium Sunflower Hearts and the other with Golden Safflower to see which your birds pick first.
FAQ
Does it need a subscription?
The camera, photos, live view and alerts work in the free app. AI bird identification and some extra app features need a paid FeatherSnap subscription.
Will it work on my WiFi?
It needs a 2.4 GHz WiFi network with good signal where you mount it. It does not connect to 5 GHz.
Does it need to be plugged in?
No. The solar roof keeps the battery charged; you can top it up with USB-C on cloudy stretches.
What seed should I use?
Any seed that flows in a hopper: sunflower hearts, safflower or a blend like Kracker Jax.
Will squirrels get into it?
It is not squirrel-proof. Mount it on a pole with a baffle if squirrels are a problem.
Tip: Mounting it on a pole? Pair it with an Erva 74" 1" Feeder Pole and a squirrel baffle.
