What Coop Camera Do You Have?

[The Angry Hen]

I was given a coop camera in the past as a gift- but I'm a little hesitant of its internet connections. I've been using an Amcrest game camera... and although it has inferred... my chickens love its presence (even the outdoor critters do, too).

Especially Magnum, the rooster that's my little buddy.

They are coyotes. We have a lot of them here. I them most nights here when they are roaming. It's been a bit foggy out at night lately

Curious too. My hubby bought a game camera for me, but we can't understand the setup, and it won't do more that a second when you first set it up. I'm a techno-idiot, so that's not surprising but hubby is pretty good with that stuff and he can't get it going either.

Maybe a WiFi camera will work in your coop if it isn't too far away from your house WiFi. I have several acres so WiFi isn't an option for me. I do have electric in my coops but the predators can't get into the coops and I have electric wire around the coops and pens as well as other protections. I have several game cameras up in different spots and sometimes I move some around. I do see predators roaming at night when it's cooler out on at least one of my game cameras. My computer died. I did get it fixed but a new windows 10 was put on it and it's different than my old windows 10. Now I have to get used to it because it is different. My pictures used to display from the dates they were taken and even though it will still do it somewhat it mixes the years so I have say October 4th pictures but it also displays the different years and also sorts by the picture name. I have to get it figured out so I can group my pictures like I used to. Now I have search and I have a lot of pictures. This is a coyote at a chick/grow-out coop. It knows the electric wire is there.

Do you have a picture of the inside of the camera, maybe I can help you. Most cameras have similar menus. What is the make of it?

I use a suntek trail cam. Not sure if it counts as a coop cam but I stick it in coops from time as well as outside of the coop. Sometimes I am just using it to observe chicken behavior when I am not around to help me pick out the aggressive roosters and cockerels. Sometimes I am using it to see what potential predators are stalking the coops at night. And sometimes I point it towards the front yard to see if anyone is casing out houses at night.

Thanks, I will try to get a pic. The make is distianert. It will only let us program it with the remote.

Even a picture of the camera. They have different models which the menus are different too.

Does the inside of the camera look like one of these pictures?

Many cameras are exactly alike but marketed under different manufacture names. I have 4 cameras that are identical but each with a different make name. They all look like this.
