Night Version

Enhance your nighttime surveillance and wildlife watching with the Night Vision feature on your Birdfy devices. This tutorial covers which products support night vision, how it works, and how to activate it.
Which Products Support Night Vision?
  • Birdfy Feeder, Birdfy Camera, and Birdfy Nest: All these products are equipped with night vision capabilities, allowing for clear visibility in low-light conditions.
  • Birdfy Hum Feeder: This product does not support night vision because hummingbirds are not active at night and do not require surveillance during these hours.
 
Night Vision Modes
For products with Night Vision functionality, there are two modes available:
  • Infrared Mode: Utilizes infrared light to produce a clear black and white image under low-light conditions.
  • White-Light Mode: Uses white light to approximate the natural colors of the scene as closely as possible during nighttime.
 
How to activate Night Vision
Follow these steps to turn on Night Vision in the Birdfy app:
  1. Open Settings: Tap the "Settings" icon for the camera you want to adjust within the Birdfy app.
  2. Access Night Vision Options: Scroll down to find the "Night Vision" option and tap it to view the available modes.
  3. Select Your Preferred Mode: Choose between "Infrared Mode" for a black and white image or "White-Light Mode" for color imaging based on your specific needs or preferences.
 
Tips for Using Night Vision
  • Optimal Use: Consider using Infrared Mode in completely dark environments for best results. This mode is less obtrusive to wildlife and typically provides better detail.
  • Color Accuracy: Use White-Light Mode if color detail is important for your observation or surveillance needs. This mode is especially useful in urban environments where some ambient light is present.
  • Adjust Settings Based on Environment: Experiment with both modes to find which best suits the lighting conditions and activity levels of the area you are monitoring.
