Anyone build a birdhouse with a camara in it? I am thinking about building a barred owl box and putting the wyze outdoor camera in it. The box will be about 75’ behind my house ---

Greenbeard explored the owl theme 🙂 > [@Has anyone built a Wyze Owl?](https://forums.wyze.com/t/has-anyone-built-a-wyze-owl/40064): > > I was looking at some “Scarecrow Owls” on Amazon and it occured to me that it looked like I could almost cram a V2 in to the head of a full life sized female decoy (up to 25" long). It seems most of the decoys on Amazon are on the small side, about 16" including stand. But for $10 I can try and cram one into the belly for an outside V2 slight_smile Has anyone else tried this?

I just made an Owl box and want to have a camera on the ceiling looking down will it focus close enough? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wyze/original/3X/4/d/4deca68bc344f4dacff813806bae4c7ea53825ce.jpeg) ---

Nice spot, wish I was there, listening to the squeaks, chitters and chirps. Cool box, too. ---

I use a Wyse outdoor cam in a Bluebird feeding station in the field that is part of my yard. It’s about 50 feet behind my house (and about 60 feet from the router/WiFi/Base Station). My WiFi signal at the feeding station is several bars, and I have no trouble using the camera to record motion Events with the camera. Given the birds are any where from 1" to 9" from the camera, they are not in focus. Not critical for my use. Putting the OC in an owl box might work if you keep the camera on the outside and make sure the lights can light up the interior. But I would worry the lights would be so bright that they would “wash out” the image (they would not disturb the birds given they are IR lights). Too bad the OC doesn’t have the V3 starlight sensor. Let us know if it works,
