Story

As part of our second year project at LDLC, we wanted to develop a connected nesting box with my classmates, Théophile Vabre-Puech and Scott Reboul, in order to be able to observe the birds that live in our nesting boxes.

What is your project about?

Our project consists in developing a birdhouse equipped with an infra-red camera in order to be able to observe the birds of the mesang type continuously that will have nested.

Why did you decide to do it?

We decided to develop this product because we particularly like animals and birds.

How does it work?

Our nesting box is linked to a mobile application that allows us to see what is happening in the birdhouse in real time.

For anyone who would like to develop the same product it will suffice to buy a nesting box on the market and incorporate an infrared camera type RPi IR-CUT connected to a computer embedded type Raspberry Pi.
