WiFi Bird Feeder Camera
This project captures images of birds that you can view on an Adafruit IO feed or dashboard.
We designed and 3D printed a bird feeder to house the Adafruit MEMENTO, a large battery, and a PIR sensor. It’s got a tray for holding birdseed and a perch so birds can visit and have a meal.
Adafruit IO Camera Feed
When the PIR sensor detects motion, the MEMENTO takes a photo and sends a JPEG to Adafruit IO.
On the Adafruit IO website, you can view the image within seconds of it being captured. Using Adafruit IO’s Actions feature, you can receive email notifications whenever a new photo is uploaded.
Capture Wild Life
The bird feeder isn’t exclusive to just birds - squirrels and chipmunks are fans too and they seem to be a bit more photogenic!
Our build features a large battery that has about eight hours of run time and can be recharged over the MEMENTO USB port.
The following parts are useful, but optional for completion of this project.
