HiONE Smart Bird Feeder | 4MP

This bird feeder is such a great addition to my days. I get to look at it anytime I want my phone and it's always busy with different birds coming to eat and hang out and it's so fun to be able to identify them,learn about them and watch their little faces, it's just the cutest! The birdhouse itself is built very well and it's extremely durable and strong, very easy to go on and install the app.

I love watching the birds at the feeder, but noticed that I really didn't know what species of birds were visiting. Some birds would sit at the feeder and look mildly disappointed with the selection, so I ordered this AI identification feeder so I could learn more about the birds, and provide them with the type of seeds they prefer! This was easy to assemble and just as simple to set up and use. Now I know I have nuthatches, swallows and wrens as well as several other species I didn't know anything about. The price of this product was worth the enjoyment I have gotten from it.

You can imagine this when you purchase, but you’ll need to download another app for all the best features. Not surprised, but still overwhelmed by the number of apps I have to download for my daily life today.Setup was super easy and seemed to immediately attract birds. The app was easy to setup too and gives vividly clear photos and videos - can even be used to peek into your yard if you don’t have security cameras.Overall, thrilled with this and happy to see all the critters that come to check out the feeder!

I recently installed this smart bird feeder in my backyard, and I’m genuinely impressed with several aspects — yet there are a few things to keep in mind.Setup was very easy: the unit came essentially ready-to-go, and I had it mounted, connected to WiFi, and operational within minutes. There were no confusing parts, and the companion app walked me through linking the camera and solar panel.The camera offers two modes — a wide-view setting and a close-up option. The wide view is great for catching multiple birds or seeing a broader scene, while the close-up earns serious points for capturing fine feather detail and delivering a more immersive look. I found the image quality to be sharp and quite enjoyable.One feature that stood out: a built-in deterrent/grate over the food area that is designed to keep larger unwanted visitors—namely squirrels—at bay. I haven’t yet had a full squirrel takeover, so while I can’t say it’s perfect, I appreciate the design thinking. The solar panel-powered light is another nice touch: it gets nice ambient illumination in low-light conditions and seems to keep the camera running without constant manual recharging.That said, no product is flawless. Depending on placement, angle, and lighting, you’ll want to make sure the solar panel gets enough sun (some reviewers say you’ll need to experiment with orientation). Also, while the camera modes are strong, if the lighting is harsh (e.g., direct sun) or the angle is awkward, you might not get perfect shots every time. Some earlier models noted weaker battery life when solar conditions were poor.If you’re looking for a smart bird-feeder camera setup that’s easy to install, delivers beautiful wide and close footage, has thoughtful features like squirrel deterrence and solar light/charging, this is a very strong choice. Just be mindful of placement and sun exposure to make the most of it.

I enjoy feeding the birds year round and up to this point the feeders I use are traditional, no tech involved. I ordered this for fun and it is working as expected. Pretty easy to download the app and get it set up. The camera is very sensitive and sends me many photos/videos a day oftentimes with no bird shown - I think every insect that flies by is being picked up. There have been a few birds in the videos and it is fun to see them up close. There are various ways to install it which is a plus. The price point is a little steep but if you're a serious birder and this has all the features you are looking for I would recommend.
