Product Information

New! Now in stock!
Control and monitor your incubating eggs 24/7 anywhere in the world from your smartphone with Brinsea's revolutionary NEW Maxi 24 EX Connect incubator. Download the free Brinsea Connect app from the Apple Store or Google Play. High visibility, convenience and complete control make the Maxi 24 the ideal egg incubator for all breeders.

Description:

Following the successful launch of the Ovation 56 EX Connect, the new Maxi 24 EX Connect joins the growing range of Brinsea Wi-Fi enabled egg incubators. The revolutionary Connect models link the egg incubators to the Brinsea Connect app to allow both remote monitoring and full control of the incubator via a smartphone.

Convenience and complete control make the Maxi 24 EX Connect the ideal incubator for all breeders. All the functions of the incubator control are duplicated on the app so you can monitor and adjust temperature, humidity and turning and receive immediate notification of any incubator alarm providing reassurance of hatching success. The easy to use Connect app also includes extra features such as count down to hatch. The incubator control is unaffected if internet connection is lost. Updates to the Connect app will allow future features and functionality to be added to incubators as they become available.

Once you have downloaded the app to your smartphone all you need to do is scan the QR code on your product and register your incubator. The app then takes you through the set up step by step, connecting to your Wi-Fi network. Once setup is complete, you can either use the incubator buttons or your phone to make adjustments to your incubator. Any adjustments you make on the incubator show on your phone and vice versa.
