Very sturdy build
I received this as a present. It was easy to set up and it didn’t take long for the squirrel to find it shortly followed by a magpie both very messy eaters. Luckily capacity for food is really big. The quality of pictures are amazing and cover a very wide span. I would certainly recommend.
So simple to set up!
Received this as a birthday present. The instalation was a breeze and it was set up in no time! Connection seems really good and the picture is clear and crisp. Functioning well on solar power so far. Just need to get some birds in my garden now, but im sure they will come!
Great gif
I purchased the bird feeder for my wife’s 60th birthday
We have just moved and have a well established garden with many feathered visitors, the feeder is a nice addition allowing us to see the birds close up
It is super easy to fit and set up, and is very well made
Great fun to watch
Installed the feeder and its solar panel over the weekend and have started to attract the birds. Very easy to construct, seems very robust which is just as well as there are a lot of pigeons, magpies and crows!! Looking forward to lots of shareable photos.
Improved powe
I had a previous bird feeder that had a solar panel that was sat straight on top of the bird feeder itself which was supposed to be designed to charge up the camera itself but unfortunately it just wouldn’t get enough sunlight no matter where I put it in the garden as it always had to be in a location where the birds would actually come to, this one however has been the vast improvement as it comes with a solar panel that can be placed at a separate location to the bird feeder as it’s on a cable extension that leads down to the bird feeder, this means you can angle it however you want to to get most of the sun.
And the quality of images is pretty decent too I get very clear images of each of the individual types of bird that lands on bird feeder as well as notifications of exactly what bird they are as it is able to identify every single one so far.
Fantastic Produc
After several bird cam feeders this one knocks the socks of the rest. Simple to put together and great cam quality tuned into Wi-Fi straight away. I highly recommend this item.
I have wanted a bird Camera forever and after looking at reviews of various cams I found someone reviewing this one on You tube and coming back to Amazon found it was on sale with a very good amount off which brought it to the same price as another one I had in my basket but this one was much better, ordered it straight away and arrived the following day.
It is robust, easy to put up and shows birds really well, there was a few problems with recording but I think this was a world wide thing as people over the pond were complaining as well all soon resolved though and running perfectly.
The seed compartment holds a lot of seed but you can just add some to the feeding platform as well.
I have a very greedy pigeon turns up & takes not a blind bit of notice of the alarm just looks at it, nor when I shout at him through the mic which both work well with the others, but just not on him
I am so happy to finally have one finally
If you are thinking of buying one watch the reviews of this one and watch for it to have a good discount, but it would be well worth the full price as well.
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO BUY THE *SOLIOM Bird Mount Baffle for BF08-Smart Bird Feeder Camera* IN THE UK, IT IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN AMERICA AND POSTAGE COSTS ARE FAR TOO HIGH PLEASE SORT THIS OUT ASAP.
Very clear pictures and ID
I found the Soliom bird feeder to be very robust and easy to install.
I love watching the birds come to feed. It’s appearance fits in with garden and
Hopefully it will last for many years. Be careful to check you have a reasonable Wi-Fi
Signal where you install it. Good value for a quality product, and great unusual gift idea.
Really glad I bought this smart bird feeder from Solium.
Very good build quality.
Metal casing which should stop the squirrels from chewing and recking this bird feeder.
Really easy to install and get the feeder up and running.
Video quality very good
Battery life excellent.
Bird identify seems spot on upto now.
Definitely recommended if your looking for a smart bird feeder.
Great bird feeder with camera
If you love your garden birds, this is a great way to watch your little feathered friends. The camera delivers very clear pictures and I like how you can watch back on the app what birds have visited the feeder throughout the day. Love it!
Great bird camera
I researched for a bird feeder with camera very I am so pleased I settled on this one my wifi signal was not the best but this camera gives great pictures clear and bright the app is also excellent I look forward each day to see what comes to feed. The after sales is also excellent they answered all my questions quickly an with everything I wanted to know
I have no hesitation in giving this 5 stars
Do not NOT buy this! It is making my long winter a joy to behold. I did a lot of research and was almost wooed into buying a smaller plastic feeder. I am so glad I found this feeder. Some notes
Install: This feeder is hefty and squirrels will not be a problem. It holds alot of seed. It was fairly easy to install. We placed it against a shed to protect it from the wind. The instructions are sparse. Yet, even with our limited tech savvy, we had it working in less than 15 minutes.
Images: the image quality is outstanding, even in low light. The video I included is a dark snowy day and the images are still clear. On sunny days, the detail on the birds’ feathers, feet and beak are mesmerizing. I am a photo nut and I like to convert video to still photos, which requires a higher res. I am able to do this regularly. Want a picture of a little bird holding a huge peanut? This will do it.
Family affair: My family- who never showed an interest in birds are curious and learning about our feathered friends now. I place the live feed on and just watch as I read, cook, first wake up, etc. The microphone is powerful as well and we were able to identify an Eastern Screech Owl off camera from a recording.
iPhone use: I hear the custom bird chime on my phone indicating a bird is on my feeder often. It tells me a bird is dining. My husband gets notified too. It chimes so often now I have to put it on sleep mode during meetings. The AI feature is either so right or comically wrong.
Protips:
It took two full weeks for the birds to find it. Be patient. Place seed on the ground below. And wait.
Use a high quality “no mess” food. This is so important. I used a bargain brand at first and had no luck. If you use a low quality feed, the birds will land, find a seed and fly away to peck it open. My seed has shelled peanuts, sunflowers, etc and they stay and gorge. My birds get crumbs all over their beaks and look hysterical- I never knew they ate like that.
Place the smart feeder with your regular feeder behind it and you will be able to see your regular feeder too from a distance.
I use Cornell Ornithology AP and Audubon apps in conjunction with the bird feeder – but I am a bird nerd.
Buy it. Good luck. I gotta go check my feed now – it’s been 15 minutes writing this review and I missed three sightings!!
