    Want to monitor your Coop from your Phone?

    Hi Gary, I like your setup, and many thanks for sharing the details. If you don't mind me asking, which specific cameras did you buy? I'm seeing tones of options but the prices might be off due to Black Friday, and it's always good to know specifically which ones you like. It might be that a...

    Want to monitor your Coop from your Phone?

    Hi PirateGirl, thank you so much for the detailed feedback. General coop security from predators is another avenue I've not really thought too much about. We have hawks so being alerted to movement around the enclosure is something that could be useful. Maybe especially if I was told what...

    Want to monitor your Coop from your Phone?

    Want to monitor your Coop from your Phone?

    Hi everyone, I'm an electronics engineer, and for fun, I ended up building a 'bird brain' for my coop that I can monitor and control from my phone. I've been 'egged-on' (sorry sorry) by my friends to see if anyone was interested in giving feedback and let me know if there might be wider...
