Nest Box CCTV Technology

Technology available to capture images of birds and wildlife is now as advanced as commercial CCTV. Before the arrival of home digital CCTV software, the only option for recording wildlife was to connect a VCR to your cameras. This type of system suffers from several disadvantages:

  • Everything is recorded, when only wildlife activity is needed.
  • To watch the recordings, you stop recording first.
  • The tape needs to be manually changed at regular intervals.
  • There is no way to view the footage remotely (without additional hardware).
  • It is difficult to extract images for publishing to a web site.
  • There is no way of alerting the user to activity.

i-Catcher Digital CCTV software allows you record only the motion activity, thus eliminating the tedious job of looking through hours of tape just to find the interesting moments.

i-Catcher allows you to watch live images or previously recorded footage, both on your home PC, and remotely with a web browser without interrupting the recording process - you will not miss a twitch!

All you need to setup you own i-Catcher Wildlife CCTV system is a suitable PC, the i-Catcher Digital CCTV software, a suitable capture device, and of course your cameras.
