[Shop-talk] Clip-on outdoor wireless camera?

[Jack Brooks]

If your woodpeckers are like mine, they enlarged the "Birdhole" vents which provide ventilation to the attic and made a nest just inside the hole.  They beat on the screening until it let go and also damaged the area around the hole quite a bit.  I got into the attic, cleaned up the nest detritus and reattached the screening with a multitude of long staples.  Hopefully that will hold.  

Be aggressive with countermeasures. We have an airsoft gun ready.  We don't want to injure them, as just the sound of the pellets hitting nearby, makes them fly away.  We may also have an older water based fire extinguisher which will be filled and primed when/if they come back, maybe with some Cayenne power dissolved in the water as an "After Deterrent". 

If you keep going out, they will start getting comfortable and not fly away, do you probably don't need a camera.  If you have binoculars you will find the damage.  Don't wait.  Discourage them ASAP.  They will cause damage and if nesting may be a protected species.

I need to see what the woodpeckers are pecking on, or burrowing in, since they fly away "wasn't us!" when I go outside.

I can't find a camera that I can clip on to something (the gutter in this case) that also has wireless and is weatherproof. I thought maybe someone here would have come across needing the same requirements. 

thanks,
jim
