The camera needs to be kept above 32 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal operation, and birds' nesting instinct is activated within a fairly rigid window of time. Maybe Maybe MaybeAside from the questionable nesting hole size advice, a couple of other Polygon features gave me pause. She did point out that she has a similar nest box from another brand and noticed that the inside is quite cavernous compared to what birds typically prefer in the wild. Despite the camera having quite decent infrared night vision, I will likely refrain from checking on any nesting birds at night, since they will be more likely to become startled by the noise. If and when birds do decide to pay a visit, I'm confident the Polygon will be ready.
