Looking for people who use coop cams!

[sara1226]

Hello all! I recently read an article about someone who installed a "trail cam" type of camera in their coop, and they linked it to a cell phone. They could view the camera live feed. I really want something like this for Christmas, but my husband said he can't find what camera would be linkable to a phone.

Does anyone have something like this and can you give me any info on it?? Please and thanks! The only possible issues with this is 1. I would be constantly spying on my chickens! And 2. If something ever got into the coop to attack them I would be freaking out seeing it live (if I wasn't home and felt helpless.) yikes

But anyway... I really want one!

I love my coop cam. But it does require power and wifi.

That's awesome! I really do love your coop!

All up on the branch!

This is so much fun. I never get to see them on the branch as they all come running when i head out there...

My husband just bought me this for our coop. I can't give you user details about it because he hasn't installed it yet! Got it at Costco. It does have 32 feet of night vision! I can't wait till it gets hooked up!

I bought this one awhile ago off of amazon, finally talked my DH into getting it running a few days ago. now i'm ordering an acrylic sphere to put it in in the coop to keep the dust off of it, so now i'm waiting for that to come. We did have to buy a WiFi extender to get the wifi to reach the coop (it is about 125 ft from the house. but yey, it works! yep, can see if from an app on my phone, and through the internet.

That is so awesome! I'm jealous! Does it have an intercom? ... You know so you can call them into the principal's office?

Here's another shot of it in the complete darkness. The cool thing is I can hear them too! (And I can talk to them too!)

They are roosting far in the back, I can see them but I know what I'm looking at. We are going to place the camera differently when the temporary wall comes out.
