Fantastic!

Great. I first bought one for my dad, so he could see his birds when he was too sick to go out to see them. Fantastic bird feeder and camera. I set it up so that all of his bird feeders were in view of the camera, so not only did it capture the birds at this feeder, but at all of the feeders in his garden. I have also bought one, and have set it up in the same way.
The AI detection is great 👍.

Great cam, good quality feeder, very impressed.

All in all a great camera bird feeder.

Excellent piece of kit.

This was very easy to assemble, I went for the one with a solar panel, and this keeps the battery level topped up even on cloudy days.

The bird feeder and camera is great. The AI is entertaining but not entirely (or even a little) accurate. The same blue tit regularly visits and has been misidentified as everything from eagle to ostrich. Either my garden is a bird watchers dream or it doesn’t work in the uk

Easy to set up

Very easy to set up and mount. The package comes with lots of mounting options which is very helpful.

The image on the camera is good and the feeder seems to work well. I had visitors from the first day and saw more and more types of bird visit over the first couple of weeks.

The AI is a bit hit and miss but I assume that will improve as time goes on. The solar panel has kept the camera at full charge since I've attached it, I don't know how it will perform in winter though.

Very disappointing

Although potentially a great idea it falls down in many aspects.
Sturdy enough but with its bright colour scheme it looks out of place alongside other bird feeders which blend into the surroundings.
The AI identification leaves a lot to be desired. We have many sparrows, blue tits, robins and a variety of other garden birds common to the south of England. However, a picture of our garden was identified as a robin and the only other bird identified was “tagged” as a Northern Cardinal. Using the helpful Wikipedia Link, we were informed that this type of bird was only native to north and Central America. The AI is obviously flawed as software and database should be able to filter by geo location.
Considering the price we would expect better value for money.
Will be using the excellent Amazon return policy.

Bad start but great service

I bought the AI Birdify bird feeder with solar which worked great for about a month. After that it had charging issues. Both solar and mains were affected. Then after about 2 months it stopped charging altogether.

One big positive was that they were brilliant at replacing the faulty product. Hopefully this new one one works as advertised.

A serious birdcam upgrade

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 1, 2022

Previously I thought that a bird camera just meant a small camera that would be able to monitor the bird, however how wrong was I!

This camera has some serious upgrades over just a basic camera in the fact that what you can actually do is monitor birds flying in and out of any place where you put this, but also it's manage is to recognise the individual different types of birds and notify you which birds were there at anytime, on top of that you can actually see if something like a squirrel turns up and because you can talk to them you can tell them to go away so using your voice as a pest repellent.

I went with the camera on its own as I already have a really nice bird table setup that I wanted to use already however the bird table that they do provide seems to be a very good solution based on how the camera works.

Its battery powered so does need recharging every now and again depending on the amount of movement that you get on there and the amount of notifications it needs to send you. However this is rather infrequent so shouldn't really be classed as a negative point.

The main main advantage for myself though it is of course the AI bird recognition which has helped me see how many different birds I actually have coming into my garden.

Good but with some negative points.

I've had mine a few weeks now and overall am very happy with it. Well built and fairly solid. I do think it's VERY over priced though all things considered. Images are reasonable, but a little out of focus at times. The software/app is functional enough but a little clunky. My biggest gripes are without some sort of subscription you get restricted functionality. Having paid over £300 I find that disappointing and perhaps a little greedy of Netvue. I have an SD card installed but the automatic recordings are limited to 10 second clips. Unless you take out a monthly subscription and that is then increased. No Netvue, just no. Using it as a live viewer works well though and you can record clips as long as you want. The much advertised AI is non existent (see photos). Will identify the same bird 5 times differently and none of them correctly. Netvue keep claiming it is a progress in works and will improve over time, which I'm hoping is true, but don't market and advertise it as being able to identify thousands of birds when it can't. So hardware wise it's very good. Wifi connection has been solid, but it will struggle to connect live if its in the process of recording. Hopefully the software/app will be improved and they eventually get the AI sorted. The solar panel has worked very well, but it has been quite sunny since I've had it. Aside from my gripes I'm really enjoying my experience with it and find the birds fascinating to watch.

AI is hopeless

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 27, 2023

Easy to assemble and setup. Paid extra for the AI version which is supposed to identify which birds have used your feeder. So far it has been very disappointing as almost every ‘identification’ has been incorrect. House sparrows are tagged as doves. Jackdaws are tagged as starlings. Maybe this will improve as more feedback is provided but currently it’s not good enough to be useful

Fantastic bird feeder

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2022

We love our wild nature filled garden and this has made the perfect addition and replaced our old tired bird feeder, it was easy to set up and install, it has a security light and the ability for you to broadcast your voice from the app to scare away any unwanted visitors.

The camera has an updated UI compared to my other (security) camera, it allows you to set a sleep time that puts the camera to sleep during your set hours.

The solar panel is able to keep the battery topped up and even fully charged the battery from 60% to 100% in the first day and it was a partly cloudy day.

Easy 5/5 I'd recommend this bird feeder to anyone wanting to get a closer look at the birds that visit your garden :)
