“A very stylish, well designed self contained bird feeder. We bought this for our daughter, son in law and their baby....a real family gift which we hope will bring enjoyment to all of them as our grandson grows up”
“My garden is set up for wildlife with a pond ,shrubs and trees,so nature spy equipment is ideal, going to try different areas around the garden at low level see what turns up , very easy to set up with the app”
“I haven't used it yet as it is for Christmas for my Husband but ordering was so easy, delivery couldn't have been quicker, it arrived in just a couple of days and when it said it would plus with tracking. looking forward to seeing what we catch in our garden. Many thanks for first class service.”
“Very effectient ordering and delivery - received within two days and good you used Royal Mail as they can deliver and leave in a safe place, without taking it away and you then having to go to some depot or other to obtain.”
“Love the website and the cameras on offer are good quality. In fact, I loved the first camera so much that I decided to by one for my in-laws for Christmas !”
“I have been impressed with The NatureSpy Wildcam 2, I have it set up in the garden and video Foxes which visit the garden most nights. It works well linked to either my smartphone or tablet via wifi which gives me the ability to control it from my armchair. I have it connected to the optional Solar panel which I think makes a big difference, you can just leave it out indefinitely and it carries on working.
I would recommend it ...”
“A good range of cameras and equipment, I found the explanatory videos useful and that plus the descriptions helped me make up my mind. The tripod is also very good. It was very clear what is provided unlike some other sites I visited, and the connection to wildlife initiatives is a respectable bonus. Delivery time supassed my expectations and the packaging was perfectly adequate.”
“NatureSpy WiFi WildCam 2
Overall, the WildCam 2 has proved an excellent buy. I have filmed voles, a hedgehog, and, unfortunately, rats (which I then got rid of non-lethally). It’s more convenient to capture this via WiFi rather than having to extract and read an SD card alone.
The camera includes an SD card on which it stores information. It comes with a permanent fixing that can be screwed into a wall or similar. However, I also purchased the MiniPod Stretch tripod which enables you to move the camera around to capture different areas, including wedging it into a bush. I’d recommend investing in this, otherwise you will find yourself having to balance the camera on uneven surfaces. (There are no buckle holders from which to fix a securing strap.)
I have a studio at the bottom of the garden. It has a WiFi router in it. This has a wired connection to the house and uses the same name and password, so I had no set-up issues. The camera uses the studio router, so there are distance issues between the router and the camera.
There is a Quick Start Guide and an Instruction Manual – you will need both, as information is spread between them.
The App is very good and gives you complete control over the camera. You can save any activity you want to keep to the Gallery. From there you can send clips by email or save them to the Photos app on your phone.
There are two inconveniences. First, you have to scroll along the timeline to quickly find activity hotspots, and the timeline has a tendency to snap back to the beginning of the day, meaning you have to finger-scroll through it again. Second, each time you access Playback it returns to the start of the day, so you have to scroll through to get to the time you want. Perhaps an update can include an ability to pause the scrolling in both these situations. However, these are very minor issues.”
