This website came about after a couple of cheap cameras were setup following a spate of crime in the Macclesfield area.
When one camera happened to pick up a fox visiting one night, the focus switched to wildlife watching and an obsession began....!
There are now two cameras set up for security purposes, two in bird boxes, two in a double swift box, one watching a bird feeding station and
one camera which is setup in an area of the garden which has been left to go 'wild'.
This wild area has been seeded with wildflowers (with mixed success) and each night a few peanuts are scattered about for whatever wildlife may visit.
For more information on the camaras or the wildlife, please contact Sue at susyg7@yahoo.co.uk.
The Birdbox and Feeder cameras are Colour 700 line mini CCD high resolution cameras from www.handykam.com.
These are connected to the network using an Axis P7214 Video Encoder.
The Wildlife garden camera is by Hikvision.
The Swift box has one camera in each side. One is a Colour 700 line mini CCD high resolution camera, details as above. The second is a small HD IP birdbox camera from greenfeathers.co.uk.
All video is captured for the web site using iCatcher software from www.icode.co.uk.
All cameras and cabling were installed by Aerial and Communication Systems Ltd of Alderley Edge, Cheshire.
