For anyone looking to add some fun tech to their yard, the Birdbuddy Pro with solar panels is $168 at Amazon for Prime Day (usually around $240). This Internet connected birdhouse has a 5-megapixel camera to automatically capture crisp photos and videos of the various visitors to your yard, and can even identify species and repeat customers. With a 115-degree field of view and slow motion support, you’ll spot all kinds of birds in detail without leaving your living room.
Birdbuddy birdhouses don’t require a subscription for basic functionality, including personal livestream access, with 5MP photo and 1080p video. If you want to share your stream with friends and family, access the AI bird identification features, or save videos at the camera’s full 2K resolution, you’ll have to pay for a Premium plan starting at $69.99 per year. It’s built to last, with a waterproof and UV resistant housing and enough room inside for four cups (one liter) of birdseed.
