Important information regarding wireless cameras

The wireless transmitters and receivers used in the systems have been chosen after many hundreds of man hours of research and testing, and in our opinion, offer the best option available on the market today. Many kits available today use cameras with mini transmitters built into the housing of the camera and claim transmission distances of up to 100m. However, current cost-effective wireless systems will only reliably transmit to about 40 m. Another disadvantage of other systems is having the transmitter built into the housing of the camera so that you will only ever be able to achieve a maximum fixed distance between the camera and the receiver back at the TV.

Gardenature systems use a separate transmitter and camera in the wireless kits. Both camera and transmitter neatly fit into the sliding drawer of the nest boxes enabling you to achieve reliable transmission ranges of up to 40m in typical conditions. However, where the kits differ from the competition is that you can easily fit an extension lead between the wireless transmitter and camera to achieve greater distances between your nest box and the receiver back at the TV! Longer range transmitter kits (up to 1km) are a now available too.

Any wireless kit requires a power source to power the camera and transmitter. As it is illegal to disturb nesting birds it is not practical to fit batteries into the actual nest box so there will always be a requirement for a cable to come from the nest box/camera to a convenient power source. Gardenature wireless kits use 12vDC and are supplied with a 12v mains power adaptor (which looks very similar to a mobile phone charger) and 10m DC power cable. The adaptor needs to be plugged into a mains power socket typically situated in a shed or garage. However, the kit can also be powered by a 12v leisure battery (as used in caravaning and camping) if you require (not supplied). Solar panel chargers can also be used.
