Please keep in mind that even if you have a strong internet connection indoors, the camera may not fully utilize that signal if it is positioned far away in your yard. The Bird Buddy requires a 2.4GHz frequency network, which is better at penetrating walls. However, in situations where walls are thin, a slower internet connection may actually perform better. Conversely, if your walls are constructed from thick concrete or metal, the signal penetration of a very fast network may be diminished. We recommend experimenting with different modes to determine which resolution works best for your specific setup.
Whether you're a casual observer or a dedicated ornithologist, Bird Buddy's flexible video quality options ensure you never miss a moment. Happy birdwatching!
