What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The manufacturer claims 3-6 months of battery life per charge, but customer feedback is mixed, including reports of long runtime as well as charge levels failing to hold above 3%. The listing FAQ specifies selecting a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, and customer feedback also notes 2.4GHz-only compatibility, so confirm the available network before setup. The listing describes unlimited free basic bird identification but also says advanced AI features require a subscription. Confirm which AI functions are included in the free plan. The package list says “Wall” and “Pole & Tree Mount Tools,” while mounting is separately listed as possible for pole, tree and wall installation, so confirm the exact hardware in the selected listing.
