How to Reduce Unnecessary Video Recordings from Your Bird Feeder Camera？

Here are some tips to reduce unnecessary video recordings and focus on capturing birds：

• Set the Sensitivity to Low: Keep the sensitivity of the camera set to the lowest setting to minimize false triggers from wind, leaves, or other movements.

• Secure the Feeder: Use a formed wire hanger or a small bungee cord to secure the feeder and prevent it from swaying in the wind. This can significantly reduce the number of false triggers.

• Position the Camera Wisely:

  • Place the feeder in a location where it faces areas with minimal movement. For example, position it so the background is a stationary object like a house wall or a fence.
  • Avoid placing the camera where it will capture a lot of background movement, such as trees or busy areas of your yard.

• Adjust Feeder Placement:

  • One user suggests placing the bird feeder on a 6ft pole facing the back of the house.
  • For hummingbird feeders, consider hanging them from a tree and using a chip clip or similar device to minimize swaying. Point the camera at a stationary object like a fence.
