See Every Backyard Visitor Up Close

The Video Camera Bird Feeder by Sharper Image combines traditional bird feeding with live video, smart alerts, and AI-powered bird identification. Its built-in camera captures 1080p HD video and 2MP photos, while the connected app sends bird visits directly to a compatible smartphone.

Whether you’re an experienced birdwatcher, a curious nature lover, or shopping for a unique outdoor gift, this smart feeder makes it easier to observe and save memorable backyard moments.

Live Birdwatching From Your Phone

Unlike a standard feeder that requires you to watch from a nearby window, this model streams live video through its companion app. Notifications let you know when a bird arrives, so you can check the feeder even when you are away from the yard.

Photos and videos can be saved, allowing you to revisit favorite visits or share them with friends and family.

AI Identification for Thousands of Species

Built-in AI recognition can identify more than 10,000 bird species, helping users learn more about the visitors stopping by the feeder. This makes the experience more educational than simply watching birds come and go.

Actual visitors will depend on the local environment, season, and type of birdseed placed inside the feeder.

Clear Day and Night Viewing

The 1080p HD camera captures detailed video, while the 2MP photo function preserves still images of each visit. Night vision extends viewing beyond daylight hours, helping users observe activity in lower-light conditions.

An included 8GB MicroSD card provides built-in storage for captured footage and photos.

Solar-Powered and Weather-Resistant

A built-in solar panel helps maintain the rechargeable power supply with less frequent manual charging. The IP65 waterproof construction is designed for year-round outdoor use in changing weather conditions.

The feeder holds up to 2.5 liters of birdseed and includes a mounting bracket for installation in a yard, garden, or balcony area. It requires access to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and will not connect directly to a 5GHz-only network.
