Bird House Cam

A camera mount for nest monitoring in a birdhouse. Mine is mounted in peak of a blue birdhouse from the rear. The camera points down overlooking the next.

This mount is designed around a camera and transmitter used in a FPV race quad. My camera is a Sony board cam. The board cam mounting hole centers are on 28mm rectangle. Camera is secured using 2.5 mm screws.

The transmitter is TS832. I monitor the camera using a Boscam LCD receiver. Power to the setup is nominal 12v. I connect an 11.1 volt LiPo battery when I want to monitor nest activity.

There is a slot on sides for an LCD strips. (Search Amazon for 'Govee White LED Strip Lights") The lights can be cut into 3 LED segments and wired independently. The LED's are 8mm apart. Moving the strip would allow for alignment with the 3 holes for brightest output or increased misalignment to decrease illumination in the birdhouse.

A 2 inch hole saw was used and three wood screws for mounting. I'll post a picture of the bird house
