Superb customer service from Netvue
This bird feeder is great, the birds use it regularly, it is easy to clean and the camera produces great pictures of visiting birds. There are cheaper versions available but you get what you pay for. The AI recognition is sometimes a bit hit/miss but that will probably improve over time I would expect. However, the thing I find most pleasing is the excellent Customer Support post purchase. My feeder suddenly stopped charging from the USB C solar panel port after 20 months and I was having to bring the whole thing inside to charge it from the micro USB slot on the front from a mains plug which was a pain in the neck. I contacted Netvue to see if there was anything they could suggest to fix it (there was no obvious damage) and after trying their suggestions (which sadly didn't work) they offered to send me a complete replacement unit. True to their word they sent me FOC a like-for-like feeder which I received in less than a week. Truly impressed, will not hesitate to buy further products in future, thank you.

Fantastic!
The media could not be loaded. Great. I first bought one for my dad, so he could see his birds when he was too sick to go out to see them. Fantastic bird feeder and camera. I set it up so that all of his bird feeders were in view of the camera, so not only did it capture the birds at this feeder, but at all of the feeders in his garden. I have also bought one, and have set it up in the same way.The AI detection is great 👍.Great cam, good quality feeder, very impressed.All in all a great camera bird feeder.

Made for Americans
The bird feeder and camera is great. The AI is entertaining but not entirely (or even a little) accurate. The same blue tit regularly visits and has been misidentified as everything from eagle to ostrich. Either my garden is a bird watchers dream or it doesn’t work in the uk

Easy to set up
Very easy to set up and mount. The package comes with lots of mounting options which is very helpful.The image on the camera is good and the feeder seems to work well. I had visitors from the first day and saw more and more types of bird visit over the first couple of weeks.The AI is a bit hit and miss but I assume that will improve as time goes on. The solar panel has kept the camera at full charge since I've attached it, I don't know how it will perform in winter though.

Fantastic bird feeder
We love our wild nature filled garden and this has made the perfect addition and replaced our old tired bird feeder, it was easy to set up and install, it has a security light and the ability for you to broadcast your voice from the app to scare away any unwanted visitors.The camera has an updated UI compared to my other (security) camera, it allows you to set a sleep time that puts the camera to sleep during your set hours.The solar panel is able to keep the battery topped up and even fully charged the battery from 60% to 100% in the first day and it was a partly cloudy day.Easy 5/5 I'd recommend this bird feeder to anyone wanting to get a closer look at the birds that visit your garden :)

Good but with some negative points.
The media could not be loaded. I've had mine a few weeks now and overall am very happy with it. Well built and fairly solid. I do think it's VERY over priced though all things considered. Images are reasonable, but a little out of focus at times. The software/app is functional enough but a little clunky. My biggest gripes are without some sort of subscription you get restricted functionality. Having paid over £300 I find that disappointing and perhaps a little greedy of Netvue. I have an SD card installed but the automatic recordings are limited to 10 second clips. Unless you take out a monthly subscription and that is then increased. No Netvue, just no. Using it as a live viewer works well though and you can record clips as long as you want. The much advertised AI is non existent (see photos). Will identify the same bird 5 times differently and none of them correctly. Netvue keep claiming it is a progress in works and will improve over time, which I'm hoping is true, but don't market and advertise it as being able to identify thousands of birds when it can't. So hardware wise it's very good. Wifi connection has been solid, but it will struggle to connect live if its in the process of recording. Hopefully the software/app will be improved and they eventually get the AI sorted. The solar panel has worked very well, but it has been quite sunny since I've had it. Aside from my gripes I'm really enjoying my experience with it and find the birds fascinating to watch.

A lot of fun !
Great well made product that’s great if you want to see the birds in your garden up close and personal. It has been a little temperamental on occasion and needed restarting but otherwise it works well in capturing the birds and providing notifications. The AI identification is very hot and miss and personally I wouldn’t buy that again ….. it’s arguably more fun looking up the identity of the birds yourself. Like it so snuck and gong to get another one !

Unfortunately very attractive to pigeons
On the surface this works as advertised, it records videos and sends notifications of whatever animal visits, but due to the large size of the feeding area it's very attractive to pigeons and squirrels, and soon the stream of notifications will be pigeon, pigeon, pigeon, squirrel, pigeon, pigeon etc and the feed will be gone in no time.I've tried numerous ways to deter these greedy pests but it's basically impossible. If only Netvue had some sort of add on to add a physical barrier to the front of the feeder to prevent large animals from getting to the food.
