Description
Give your backyard songbirds the ultimate nesting sanctuary with theĀ JCS Wildlife Ultimate Camera Bluebird House. Handcrafted in the USA by birding experts, this premium birdhouse is engineered to provide a safe, cozy, and ultra-durable home for bluebird families.
Built entirely from heavy-duty, eco-friendly recycled plastic lumber, this modular house features a versatile dual-door design for seamless viewing and cleaning, an integrated predator guard, and advanced interior features to maximize fledgling survival. Choose our V2.0 Smart Camera Package to bring your nest box to life with crystal-clear live smartphone streaming and a solar-powered charging system!
Key Features & Benefits
- Advanced Dual-Door System: Engineered with two labeled side doors for hassle-free backyard birdwatching. Open the side marked "VIEW" to reveal a clear interior viewing window that lets you check on the nest safely without disturbing the birds. Open the side marked "CLEAN" for wide-open access that makes seasonal maintenance quick and effortless.
- Discreet 3MP Smart Wi-Fi Camera: Captures a high-definition bird's-eye view of both the entryway and the deep interior nesting bowl. Connects effortlessly to your smartphone or tablet via the free Bird Lover App for live feeds and real-time motion alerts.
- Solar-Powered Simplicity: Includes a high-efficiency solar panel with a built-in battery and ultra-durable, chew-resistant power cables. A pivoting mount allows you to adjust the solar panel for optimal seasonal sun exposure.
- Lifetime Recycled Poly Lumber: Handcrafted using premium, high-density recycled plastic with robust all-screwed construction and marine-grade stainless steel hardware. It is guaranteed never to crack, split, warp, or fade.
- Built-In Predator Guard: Features an extended poly lumber entry guard that creates extra depth, effectively preventing raccoons, cats, and larger predatory birds from reaching into the nesting cavity.
- Stainless Steel Mesh Nest Riser: An innovative elevated mesh panel sits on the floor to lift the nest off the base. This drastically improves internal airflow, keeps the nest dry, prevents bacterial growth, and simplifies cleanup.
- Fledgling Climb-Out Grooves: The texturized interior front wall includes built-in notched steps to serve as a natural ladder, helping juvenile bluebirds climb safely to the exit hole on fledging day.

Need a Mounting Pole? Complete Your Setup!
Give your new bluebird house the secure, stable foundation it deserves. We highly recommend pairing this house with one of our favorite 1.25" thick heavy-duty steel mounting poles. Built with a rust-resistant coating and an integrated ground auger, these poles install into the soil in minutes:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the smart camera require a monthly subscription fee?
No. You can live-stream crystal-clear video, view real-time nest box activity, and receive instant motion alerts directly on your phone completely free via the Bird Lover App. A subscription is only required if you choose to utilize the app's optional cloud storage features.

What happens if I don't install a Micro SD card in the camera?
If a Micro SD card is not installed, the camera will still send instant motion-triggered photo snapshots to your smartphone app. You can also manually record live video streams straight onto your phone's camera roll while actively watching. To have the system automatically record and store motion-activated video clips locally while you are away from the app, an 8GB to 128GB Micro SD card is required.

Can I buy the standard version now and add the camera later?
Yes. This house is built to easily allow the camera option to be added to the interior at a later time.

How does the solar panel handle low-sun winter months?
The high-efficiency solar panel charges the integrated backup battery throughout the spring and summer nesting seasons. During the low-sun winter months, solar charging may be naturally reduced. Because the solar panel features a pivoting, detachable design, with the battery stored in the bottom, you can easily mount it in a convenient location for quick access if you ever need to give the battery a manual indoor charge.

What type of Wi-Fi network does the camera require?
The camera system operates strictly on a standard 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi frequency band. Please verify that your home router has an adequate, stable signal strength reaching your chosen outdoor installation tree or pole location prior to mounting.

Why is there a mesh screen on the floor of the birdhouse?
That is our innovative stainless steel mesh nest riser. It lifts the twigs and grass slightly off the solid poly base to drastically improve internal airflow, keep the nest perfectly dry after rainstorms, prevent harmful bacterial growth, and make seasonal cleaning an absolute breeze.

How does the dual-door system protect the birds?
The side door labeled "VIEW" reveals a clear acrylic interior window shield. This allows you to check on egg progress and nestling health safely without letting the birds escape or disturbing the nest. The opposite door labeled "CLEAN" opens completely wide to let you seamlessly scrub and sanitize the house between seasonal broods.

This birdhouse is extremely well-made and the included mounting pole is the most substantial Iāve ever gotten with any similar product. If you appreciate well-made products built in the US that this is for you.
Hi George, thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're so glad you appreciate the quality and craftsmanship of our birdhouse. Thank you for sharing photos. We love to see them! Beautiful set up. Enjoy watching the birds!

Gray w/ Blue / JCS Wildlife Smart Bluebird House only
We had a non-wifi birdhouse and had an issue where we needed to know how long the eggs had been there, so we tried this one.
We couldn't be happier! We had bluebirds checking it out within 2 days of installation. A week later, we have chickadees doing the same. It's so cool getting notified when they are there!
We have a fairly sophisticated wifi system, so I made sure the camera link was done inside (with good wifi signal). Once installed outside, we have had no issues and get plenty of notifications daily as well as live video when wanted.
Highly recommend!

Have had this thru one nesting season and it performed perfect all summer. Watched two broods from eggs to fledge. The camera operated flawlessly. My battery never went below 80% with the solar panel providing plenty of power. Took the screen out of the bottom - it looked like the birds were not adapting to it. They built a nest just fine without it! Design and construction is top of the line. Would definitely recommend!! Just recently bought a new router and had to reconnect the camera to my network - no problem!

Tan w/ Brown / JCS Wildlife Smart Bluebird House only
The birdhouse is nice. I think itās going to be sturdy. However, the wrong color was sent. My husband didnāt realize it until he had most of it out together. Another thing that bothers me is a male bluebird went into the house and seemed to get stuck. We thought we were going to have to help but he turned around and got out. Weāre not completely sure what happened. He hasnāt been back so weāre not sure if itās because of him getting stuck or this is his second time nesting. Guess weāll find out next year.

Very well made bird house.

Gray w/ Blue / With Universal Pole Kit
The quality and craftsmanship are better than any other houses Iāve seen. The materials and design are built to last and will probably provide years of use. Customer service was attentive and greatly exceeded expectations. The shipment was quick and had me ready to go faster than expected. I highly recommend doing business with JSs Wildlife!

Gray w/ Blue / With Universal Pole Kit
ā¦you should still be able to make this work. Iām a 63-year-old retiree who was terrified and momentarily overwhelmed when I opened the box. But if someone like me (limited internet/technology skills) can figure this out, most other seniors might have success as well. Just give yourself at least an hour or 90 minutes. And make sure you also buy the recommended pole! ONE BIG COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SETUP INSTRUCTIONS: at one point, you have to take a picture of a barcode, and I thought I was supposed to use my iPhone camera. You actually are supposed to point the BIRDHOUSE camera at the code! It took me three attempts with my iPhone before I realized this! Also, Iāve had birdhouse up for a week now, with no birds going inside, but itās still early in the season. Will update this review with pics once bluebirds arrive (or never do) š¤š¼
m
what is the hole size
Hi - the hole is 1 and 5" in diameter to accommodate the Eastern and Western Bluebird. For the Mountain Bluebird (which can also be ordered), the hole is 1 and 9/16" in diameter.

Do I need to put predator guard on this bluebird house? Concerned about wrens coming in. My bluebirds are nesting right now
There is already a predator guard on it - you just need to be vigilant about watching for invaders and removing them as soon as they try to get in and set up shop!
R
Does it have sound or just video?
Can you stream the video to YouTube or other platforms?
Yes, the video has sound.
And yes, you can stream it but it will require a 3rd party software to do so. Otherwise, the video is only available to view on your phone or a tablet.

Will I ever need to change any batteries in the solar panel and/or camera? If so, what size/type batteries? Whatās the life expectancy of the solar panel/camera, and once they die, can I purchase replacements? If so, whatās the price? How can camera capture clear images if it doesnāt have night vision? Wonāt the dark interior of the bird box limit the clarity, even during a sunny day? Can you provide any examples of pics, or is the product too new? Can you please incorporate this type of info into the online page for this product, for potential customers who might not think to ask? Very tempted to buy, but hesitant because of very limited details available on your website.
The battery is built in to the device and will not be swappable. The life expectancy is several seasons/years as the camera is protected from the elements. Replacements can be purchased (while supplies last) and are $111.45. The camera has night vision capabilities than can be turned on/off/auto. There is plenty of light, so the camera can operate in regular mode during daytime and auto switch to night mode when light diminishes. IF you have other questions please feel free to check out our FAQs section on the Smart Series page of our website.

1. Does the camera record and store video clips once motion is detected inside the box? (I travel a lot)
2. Box would be positioned in semi-shady area (only about 3 hours of direct sunlight daily). Is that enough to power the solar panel?
3. Whatās your return/refund policy on this product? Iām not sure if my Wi-Fi signal is strong enough in that corner of the yard.
1) Yes, the camera will store motion-detection photos. No, the camera will not store motion-detection video, unless you have an SD card installed. You can take video manually from the app on your phone.
2) The quick answer is - it should be. We have not had the opportunity to put the house camera to the test simply because it's not nesting season here yet. However, the same camera and solar panel are on the smart feeder. During "normal" weather conditions, the feeder camera kept 100% charge using the solar panel with hundreds of motion detections throughout the day. The only time we saw a lag with this camera was during a bitter cold stint where it was cloudy for several days on end.
3) We do have a 30 day return policy. We suggest testing the strength of your wifi with your phone prior to installing the Smart House to see if the wifi will reach the house and maintain a strong connection.
