      If it’s a busy nest and you check in often (which you will because it’s fascinating), the batteries will run dead in a day. Even with the solar, battery discipline is key.

    But the solar panel that charges?...because the Blink camera does not have a lithium battery, it takes normal AA batteries, does this camera accept rechargeable batteries?...and are they the ones that the solar panel charges?...Thank you

    Great video - inspiring!
    Does the camera and solar panel need to be carefully matched? Or do all these solar panels tend to produce the same voltage? Can they overload the camera if the sun is too strong, or is there clever circuitry to stop that happening?

    Are birds not scared of the camera, or solar panel?

    • @BeakPeeker
      @BeakPeeker  3 місяці тому +1

      The camera has a glossy black finish. So i think they notice a bit of a reflection. I wouldnt say they are scared but they do initially notice it. It becomes a non issue after 30 seconds.

    So far I am not happy with any of my solar products, if the sun isn’t shining right on them they don’t work. Now if this holds a charge and still works when shade or clouds come that’s better but still have reservations on it.

    My blues are always on top of the roof how do you keep the poop off the solar panel plus mine solar panel gets hot. Great video can you post the measurements for each piece? Also what was the silicon sealer you used? Thank you 😊

    • @BeakPeeker
      @BeakPeeker  4 місяці тому +1

      I find that they roost on the highest point. Which would be that elevated tab on the back. The panel does get hot but i have tried to dissipate it a bit with the double thickness roof. The next gen models will have a bit more ventilation. It isn’t that big of a problem in PA because the days here are still a bit chilly. Temperature might play a part if there is a second clutch though. These cameras have a built in thermometer so i’ll be able to monitor that too. The silicone is just a basic sealant from Home Depot.
