Maintenance

Cleaning the Feeder

Regular cleaning is essential to prevent the spread of disease among birds and maintain feeder hygiene. Disassemble the feeder components (feeding tray, main body, camera module) and wash them with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before reassembly.

Refilling Bird Seed

Monitor the seed level regularly. When the reservoir is low, open the top lid and refill with fresh bird seed. Ensure the lid is securely closed to protect the seed from moisture and pests.

Battery Charging

The camera module is powered by a 5200mAh rechargeable battery. When the battery level is low, remove the camera module from the feeder and charge it using the provided USB cable. A full charge typically takes approximately 8 hours.

Weather Resistance

The BBPECO Smart Bird Feeder is designed with IP65 weather resistance, protecting it from rain and dust. However, for extreme weather conditions, it is advisable to take precautions to prolong the product's lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• No Live Feed/Connectivity Issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz and the feeder is within range. Restart your router and the feeder. Check the app for any network status indicators.
• No Notifications: Verify app notification settings are enabled on your smartphone. Check the feeder's motion detection sensitivity settings in the app.
• Short Battery Life: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Frequent live viewing or high motion detection sensitivity can drain the battery faster. Consider adjusting settings or charging more frequently.
• AI Identification Not Working: Ensure you have an active subscription if AI bird identification requires one. Check for sufficient lighting and clear camera view.
• Squirrels/Other Animals Triggering Alerts: Adjust the feeder's placement to minimize access for larger animals. Some models may offer 'squirrel eviction' settings in the app (refer to app features).
