and Welcome to Backyard Chickens.
to have you here with us. Enjoy your time here at BYC!
I'm on this forum and that is about as tech-savvy as I get. How far away is the coop you are trying to surveil? You might be able to run a direct-burial ethernet cable out to there or use a wireless extender.
Good luck! Let us know how it goes and I hope your chickens get unspooked.
Thanks for joining! Welcome to BackYard Chickens!
Thank you so much all of you guys. for your kind words. I love this group. Will check out Blink.Hiya, and welcome to BYC!
We have Blink that go about an acre, maybe closer to two acres. I have motion alerts on some, and like the one in the coop I have off so I can just check in on them. There is a charge per month, but it depends what you buy.
A deer cam would work too, but those that send alerts cost a subscription too to my knowledge. My son researched this for putting deer cams in our woods and that's what he had come up with.
