Foothills Birds

CamStreamer App CamOverlay App

Security cameras make great bird cams. For bird-watching sites with a poor internet connection, such as the Foothills Birds project based near Brown-Lowery Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada, CamStreamer solves the issue of limited mobile data by scheduling live streams for daylight hours only. The stream runs simultaneously on the project's website and YouTube with a countdown to the start of the stream and a birdseed sponsorship message, both added to the feed via CamOverlay App.
