Many cameras, two fulltime running computers with good video processing abilities, a crazy fast internet connection, the program to send the video to YouTube, and a host of costs. I have easily spent more on this setup than I spent of a decent truck a couple years back. The camera is located in northern Utah. Bella and Copper are a Western Screech Owl's. The year 2019 was their first year nesting in my nest box (first that I had noticed). More information on western screech owls can be found here: - - Did you look away and miss something happening in the box? This stream has DVR enabled, so you can back up the video as much as 12 hours. Just hover your mouse pointer near the bottom of the screen. See the red line? Click and move your pointer over it to decide how far to back up. When you want to return to the real time (live) stream click “LIVE” (just below the red line). Thank you! and thank you for watching! I'll continue to stream no matter what. Special thanks: Thanks to Lake Murray Osprey () for letting me use their website as a template for this site. Click here to visit their site. Thanks to Jolleyville (). I used their nest box as inspiration for mine and Jolly has been very helpful with many questions. Thanks to OwlWatch (). I used their nest box system to get the nest box up and down from the tree - which likely has kept me from falling 18 feet from the tree before their system changed things.
