Who We Are

“Hi, I’m Jamie, the founder of Nest Box Live”

In 2020, Nest Box Live was born out of a love for birdwatching, with the aim to make it accessible to everyone, everywhere! Thanks to our amazing Smart Bird House Cameras, we’ve had the joy of sharing the inspiring nesting stories of our feathered friends with millions across the globe. Our easy-to-use technology allows you to enjoy birdwatching right in your backyard—just set it up, plug it in, and you’re all set to connect to the largest platform of live birdhouse cameras!

How Nest Box Live Started

The Idea

Nest Box Live began as an inspiring idea while watching live nest cameras on BBC’s Springwatch. The thought was simple: “Wouldn’t it be amazing to bring this experience to a global audience?” Starting with basic components, a live-streaming camera system was created, initially as a side project alongside a career in music teaching. The first stream surprisingly attracted thousands of viewers worldwide, and the vision grew from there. Today, Nest Box Live connects a global community to the joy of birdwatching. Our Smart Bird House Cameras make it effortless to observe and share the nesting stories of our feathered friends, whether you’re a camera owner or a passionate viewer on social media. Simply set it up, plug it in, and join the world’s largest platform of live birdhouse cameras!

The Innovation

Recognizing the growing demand, we set out to create a commercially available birdhouse camera system designed with bird enthusiasts in mind. At the time, most systems on the market relied on cheap, imported components that lacked essential features, leaving much to be desired.

Our mission was clear: to develop a high-quality system that we’d be excited to use ourselves. Careful attention was given to every detail, from selecting the right camera to ensuring the perfect angle and optimal lighting—day or night—to beautifully capture those magical nesting moments.

The Legacy

But we knew a camera alone wasn’t enough. That’s why our technology goes further, tracking bird behaviors such as visit times, dates, and durations, as well as monitoring environmental conditions around the boxes.

Over time, this has allowed us to build a vast database with millions of records of birds visiting our boxes across the globe. Our vision is to one day make this invaluable conservation data available to academics and researchers, helping us all better understand and protect our feathered friends.

What Makes Nest Box Live Special?

Build for You, Loved by Nature

We truly wanted to create a system that our customers would love! After hearing feedback about issues like poor image quality and the lack of integration into the digital world, we set out to develop something groundbreaking that perfectly fits the new digital landscape.

We recognized a few challenges that needed addressing:

  1. Poor image quality with existing cameras
  2. The time-consuming task of sifting through hours of footage to find those special moments
  3. The difficulty in identifying the various bird species visiting the boxes

That’s why we’ve incorporated the highest megapixel camera ever used in a birdhouse, along with a smart video management system that saves videos only when there’s bird activity. Plus, our advanced AI detection system makes it easy to identify different species as they visit. It simplifies birdwatching, allowing you to relax and truly enjoy the experience.
