About this app
Just installed your bird box camera and not sure whether to use WLAN or Direct AP mode, how to get email alerts working, or why the timestamp is wrong by exactly one hour?
This guide covers the CamHi app and every feature of your bird box camera setup clearly -- from first connection to nesting season monitoring.
WHAT'S INSIDE
▪ First-Time Setup
How to connect your bird box camera for the first time choosing between WLAN mode (connects to your existing home WiFi router, recommended for most installations) and Direct AP mode (camera creates its own WiFi hotspot, for locations where your home router signal does not reach). Covers power connection, downloading the CamHi app, adding the camera via QR code or manual UID entry, and confirming a working live feed before mounting the camera inside the bird box.
▪ CamHi App Walkthrough
A complete guide to the CamHi app for bird box cameras navigating the live feed, taking manual snapshots, starting and stopping recordings, adjusting image settings (brightness, contrast, IR night vision mode), setting up motion detection, accessing the SD card playback timeline, and managing email alert settings. Also covers the CamHi account login system and how to share camera access with other family members.
▪ WLAN vs Direct AP Connection Modes Explained
A clear breakdown of the two connectivity modes available on CamHi-based bird box cameras. WLAN mode connects the camera to your home router over WiFi requires a stable 2.4 GHz signal to reach the garden location where the bird box is mounted.
Direct AP mode turns the camera into its own WiFi hotspot your phone connects directly to the camera without needing a router, which is useful for boxes mounted far from the house but means you cannot monitor remotely when you are away from home. Covers when each mode makes sense and how to switch between them.
▪ Managing Recordings
How to navigate and manage recordings stored on the MicroSD card via the CamHi app playback timeline. Covers inserting and formatting the MicroSD card correctly, understanding recording modes (continuous vs motion-triggered), how storage fills up over time (approximately 2GB per hour at 1080p continuous), and how loop recording handles a full card by overwriting the oldest footage automatically.
▪ Email and Notifications
How to set up email alerts in CamHi so you receive a notification when the camera detects motion inside the bird box. This requires configuring an SMTP email server in the app a process that is more involved than standard app notifications. Covers the SMTP settings for common email providers (Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail), the common error messages that appear when SMTP authentication fails, and how to test that alerts are working correctly before nesting season begins.
▪ Quick Reference
All key CamHi app paths, connection mode settings, recording mode options, and troubleshooting steps on a single screen for fast lookup during the nesting season.
