SETTING UP YOUR BIRDCAM Download the ‘NatureSpy’ App from the App Store or Google Play Store. Launch the app. Create a new account or log in to your existing account. Tap the '+' symbol in the top right corner and select 'Add Device'.
INSTALLING THE FEEDER Stick the sticker on the tree, post or wall that you want to hang the feeder onto. This will show you where to drill the holes. If mounting on a wall, drill holes with a 6mm drill bit and insert the green plastic spacers (you may need to tap them in with a hammer) If mounting on a tree or post, drill guide holes using a 2mm drill bit.

Next, attach the bracket to the tree, post or wall using the long screws provided.

Then, mount the feeder on top of the bracket. Next, position the bracket connector underneath lined up with the screw holes. If you have to twist the feeder to do this, don’t worry - you’ll be able to rotate the feeder after it’s attached.

Fix the bird feeder onto the bracket using the 3 screws provided. Next, attach the perch using the two small screws. NOTE: if mounting where squirrels are present, use the metal perch. The plastic perch should only be used if squirrels are not in the area or cannot access the feeder.
ROTATING THE FEEDER After installation, you may need to rotate the feeder to your desired position. This is simply a case of pushing the feeder round to the left or the right.
REFILLING / SECURING THE FEEDER The feeder refill flap is behind the solar panel on the top of the feeder. It can be secured with 2 screws. This helps keep water out of the feeder and also prevents squirrels accessing the feed from this angle.
MOUNTING THE CAMERA From time to time you may need to remove the camera for supplementary charging, or to clean the feeder. To mount the camera in the feeder, follow the instructions below. To remove the camera from the feeder, follow these instructions in reverse order.
