The Analog Camera

Analog cameras require a little more set-up time, but are a good middle-of-the-road choice for watching more distant nests.

  • draws power from an A/V cable that plugs into your TV
  • best for nests within 200′
  • can be viewed on a computer using a USB adapter
  • available in wireless versions, but a power cord is still necessary (only the image is transmitted wirelessly, not the power)
