CAM INFORMATION:

I have 2 cams, the bird feeder cam is a Logitech C930e Pro 1080p HD Webcam. It is mounted to a pole with protection from the weather.The 2nd cam is a Hawkeye HD Nature Camera. It is mounted to the inside ceiling of the Bluebird box. The Logitech Webcam is on a 22ft USB extension cable. The Hawkeye Camera is on a 100ft extension cable. The Hawkeye Camera has IR Nightvision so it can be placed in a Bluebird box. The Logitech Camera connects to the computer by USB. The Hawkeye Camera is plugged into a DVR which is plugged in to USB.

COMPUTER INFORMATION:

The computer that we use is a Dell Optiplex 390 with an i5 quad core processor.The computer runs on Windows 10. It is important to have an adequate internet access and a computer that is only used for streaming,we are using a bare bones desktop with only the software needed to run the stream.It is important that your streaming computer is not your personal computer because streaming takes a lot of demand from the computer. The computer is plugged into a Belkin Extender,which is a repeater for a Linksys Router. The computer streams our cams through Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). It makes our stream a whole lot clearer and smoother.

WHEN DO YOU STREAM?

Usually I start the Bird Feeder cam sometime in the morning and it streams until dark. I start the Bluebird cam when they start building a nest and I turn it off sometime in the night. When she lays eggs I stream 24/7 through incubation, hatching,and fledging.
