GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR CAMERA

Wired camera connection tips

If you have a wired camera, plan beforehand where you plan to lay your cable from your

bird box to your viewing device. Are you going to bury your cable and where is the entry

point to your house going to be? Generally it is best to drill a single hole through your outer

wall but if you have wooden window frames a small hole through the corner of the frame

may be a better idea.

If you’re burying the cable running through your garden then it is a good idea to protect it

from the weather and burrowing animals. A simple way to do this is with some spare hose

pipe. Simply run your cable through the hose, tape over the ends and bury. Some extra

electrical tape over cable joints also helps keep water out.
