You might recognize the Birdfy camera as one that's marketed to attach to a bird feeder, but it also works excellently as a chick cam for coops that are farther away from the house. Though it does connect through WiFi, the added antenna provides a boosted signal, so you can place it farther away from the house than most other WiFi-reliant cameras.
The Birdfy camera comes with a rotatable bracket that makes installation to just about any surface a breeze, and it's easy to reposition your camera if you ever need to. The camera needs to occasionally be charged, but it can be paired with a solar panel so you'll never have to worry about taking it in for a charge.
One of the coolest features of the Birdfy camera is the ability to distinguish between birds, dogs, and humans. The camera is motion activated, so you will receive updates any time it recognizes movement from one of your chickens. Real-time notifications are sent straight to your phone through the paired app. We also love the two-way sound feature, in case you need to scare off any predators by yelling through the camera.
Thirty days of cloud storage is included with the camera, and you can purchase a separate SD card for additional storage, if needed. We'd recommend going for the Lite version rather than the AI option since you won't be using the camera to identify birds.
