Coop Cam

[The Phantom]

I have a two camera Flir system by Lorex Technologies. The cameras are weatherproof, have 120' night vision capability, and comes with the DVR. I got mine on sale for $200. It was worth every penny when I saw a fox pacing the fence line to my chicken run.

Can you view that on your phone?
Or have multiple cameras connected?

Yes. actually this morning caught my mom talking to them. oh I should tell you it didn't come with a wall charger port plug so I used an old one from one of my phones. From this morning. I hope it works out!

@The Phantom the camera I specifically bought was https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073B56CC6/ref=s9_acsd_hps_bw_c_x_3_w in the black color. For the price I think it is awesome. I have 3 cameras in all. The below pictures are when I just got the cameras which was only about a week ago now. I like them. I can watch it from my phone. There is a lag time when I move the camera but once again for the price I can live with it.

I have wireless cameras that run off of 2AA batteries that last up to a year. The system is called Blink https://blinkforhome.com/

I bought the five camera setup but they offer a 1 camera with sync module for $99, cloud storage with no monthly fee.

After my recommendation two other co-works have gotten them an also love the system.

Looks like I'll have to save up and get a couple for the coop & barn.

You can jump on your local Craigslist and find the RING CAMERAS (you'll even find some with solar if you're lucky). I have one in the coop and one in the run itself. Always remember that you pay for what you get. RING has never let me down, but be sure to get the wifi signal extender too.

Checking into this setup....

Don't know what the big deal with foxes are, here is just one of several that became friends when we lived in BC. Full disclosure, we did not have chickens!

Yow, we had a gray fox when I moved in. Made crazy sounds in the middle of the night, hung out in my oak tree? didn't pester my chickens. I didn't know they climbed trees. The red fox was a different story.....always after my chickens!
