Bird identification and bird watching with the KENTFAITH Birdfy Cam
The KENTFAITH Birdfy Cam was delivered quickly. Everything was well and safely packaged. The workmanship of the camera is flawless and high quality. The scope of delivery is extensive. The cam can be attached directly to a tree using the included Velcro strap. It can also be screwed to a wall (screws and drilling template are included). An adapter for a camera tripod is also included if you don't have a tree or wall available! However, the operating instructions could be improved. It should have a chapter for one language. You have to search a little for your language, but all the necessary points are listed and explained in an understandable way. The charging socket is easily accessible. Unfortunately, a charging plug is not included in the scope of delivery. There is also no Micro SD card included, which must be purchased separately. However, I would have expected that at this price. So I used my charging plug from my cell phone. Setting up and assembling the cam was easy and was well described. The camera is even waterproof according to the IP65 standard. So unpack, load the camera, assemble the birdhouse, insert the SD card, download the KENTFAITH app and set up the camera in the app. Open the app and press the cross in the top right, select the KENTFAITH Birdfy Cam. Setting it up is described very well in the app and is very easy. After establishing a connection with the camera, you should find a suitable and safe place for the birdhouse. Don't forget to add bird food! After a while the first birds arrived and the camera was triggered immediately. The picture and sound are very good and you can choose between an SD and an HD recording. All settings in the app are extensive. The recognition of individual bird species does not yet work perfectly. In some cases incorrect, non-native birds are recognized. The camera can detect over 6000 birds. But you should be able to set this in the app! Maybe by country, region such as Europe, Germany. Then detection would be more efficient. Unfortunately, the names of the birds are still in English and the link to the bird description also leads to an English page. Maybe the manufacturer can improve this? My conclusion: I am very impressed and convinced by the idea of the camera, the quality / operation of the camera is very good. Personally, I would like the camera to be available in another, more subtle color. Like in brown for example. Then it wouldn't be so noticeable and would be easier to integrate into the garden or on the balcony. The price should also be checked again by the manufacturer, I just think it is too high.
