Coop live video cam?

[scjcb37]

First, apologies if I am not posting in the correct spot. I tried. Still learning where to post!
OK, I would love to have a cam set up in my coop with a live feed that can be viewed on my (android) phone. Does anyone here know of such a thing? Would love to hear about anything you have like this, Thanks!

Most cameras come with software of some kind.
So yes they do exist.
Here is a link to a thread with some camera info:

Kikisgirls,
Thank you very much, that is exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks for this info! I've been thinking about doing the same thing, but pointed towards my nesting box... I have 1 girls who was laying, but appears to have stopped & I'd like to know if she's laying again but can't be sitting out there starring at the coup all morning (plus I think it makes them nervous).

Kikisgirls,

There are so many different brands out there.
You don't have to buy a "chicken" camera...
regular "house" cameras work.
I've even seen people who use the baby monitor cameras.

Great idea, and sounds like a lot of fun. I have stood in the coop for at least half an hour when we first got our girls, watching a hen lay an egg. I had never seen it in real life. lucked out, her butt was toward me. And it was worth the time an effort. Almost like watching a baby being born. Fascinating

I've got an arlo in my coop. You can watch it on your android device, it runs on batteries so you can put it anywhere and it's got night vision so I can creep on the chickens while they sleep.

I got lucky once and walked up on one laying. It was pretty cool to watch. Now all my girls are laying in a box that is difficult to see from outside.. I can pretty much only see if someone is in the box and I try to avoid going in if someone's in there.
