Great Tits Live! 45° angle (2 Viewers)

[Great Tits LIVE]

Hi everyone,

I’ve put quite a bit of time into setting up this project—a small camera inside a handmade nest box in a cherry tree somewhere in Munich. It captures the daily life of a great tit pair, and I’m streaming it live. I hope others enjoy watching as much as I do!

Youtube channel

Livestream

What to expect?
🔸 A great tit pair preparing for the breeding season
🔸 Nest building, egg-laying, and hopefully chicks hatching
🔸 A live camera showing everything from 45° angle
🔸 daily summary videos

Technical setup​

📡 NAS: Ubuntu Server
🎥 Camera: Tapo C110 (120° wideish-angle lens)
🎞 Motion Detection: AgentDVR
📺 Livestream & Summaries: ffmpeg
⏳ Planned: Automated YouTube uploads

I’d love to hear your thoughts—constructive feedback is always welcome!




And before someone asks: the left opening is a window. Also, I had a lot of help from modern AI systems while setting this up.
The stream goes down from time to time but I will restore it.

Have fun.

Looking forward to this! I've never seen a Great Tit. Over here in America we have to make do with smaller tits.

Because I have a YouTube stream as well and I like being notified if it's down. Your live stream is down - today is March 25th 2025
Thanks for sharing.
I'm going to go check out that camera.
