Video and app for my bird table (1 Viewer)

[83dons]

I have setup a bird table near my patio doors in the garden that is attracting a range of birds. I would like to setup a camera likely inside the doors to record zoomed in when it senses motion around the table and to allow the video to integrate with an app that will alert me and identify the bird and also tracks visits. I have seen commercial solutions for feeders like green feathers or birdfy is there any way of achieving my setup. Or should I just buy WiFi cameras like the green feathers one and attach to my table?

You could take a look at the Secacam range from our sponsor Zeiss.

Anyone got any experience of how good the ai and app are for this? I don't want to be trawling through loads of video coverage when I get in.

I don't think there is AI and identification is there? Unless the outputs can be fed into an identification app.
It's also communicating by phone signal as opposed to WiFi, so has a subscription cost attached.
They have a new model coming out imminently, the secacam 3, which is a little cheaper (£119?) so would be worth seeing what that's all about.

Sounds a bit large scale and high maintenance for my purposes. Will maybe try one of the commercial apps/ camera deals such as Birdfy although I'd like to monitor all the birds coming to the table not just to a particular feeding station.

Yes, the Zeiss models are looking more towards remote monitoring out in the wild, but are interesting to me at least.
I could use it at a feeding area for small mammals while Looking elsewhere, and get notified when the feeding area has a visitor for example!
