Operating Instructions

Once set up, your Smart Bird Feeder is ready to capture and identify birds.

1. AI Identification

The camera features AI identification. When a bird approaches, motion detection triggers automatic video recording and storage. The built-in bird encyclopedia provides information about identified species, helping you learn about their preferred feed. (Note: Live streams are available without subscription; AI and Cloud features require a subscription after a 30-day trial).

The mobile app screen is shown identifying a cardinal at the feeder, with a pop-up displaying "At a Glance" information about the species, including its distribution and nesting habits.

2. Instant Notifications

Receive real-time notifications on your phone app when bird activity is detected. This feature can be toggled on or off in the app settings.

3. 2K Live View and Night Vision

Enjoy a 2K HD live view of your bird feeder anytime. The camera includes night vision for continuous observation in low-light conditions.
