@maxmoon There was enough light during the day because I made some kind of windows as you can see in this video : https://diode.zone/w/5hJXoGg4PGePKKaGgjDgYS
The side window was enough, the top window remained hidden all the time. During the night, the IR leds of the camera did the job.

Instead of making a new video, I would rather publish the plans and some details about the hardware and software configurations. I already have them but as draft. I need to translate and rewrite them properly first.

I have never used a microphone on a raspberry pi but I'm shure there exist many solutions.

@gnatho I didn't know that they just let the egg there. I somehow thought they might eat it or destroy it and throw the parts away.

@gnatho Do you need leds or is there enough light in the box?

It would be a super interesting video, if you could explain how you build such a box and how you install and configure everything.

How do you connect a microphone to a pi zero? I guess only USB, right?

@maxmoon Indeed, there is an unhatched egg. 7 eggs were laid and 6 birds were born.

@maxmoon No sound because no microphone. May be next year! The setup is just a raspberry pi zero and a camera of this kind : https://www.amazon.fr/Waveshare-Raspberry-IR-CUT-Camera-revisions/dp/B01M1BZXJQ
The software is Motion.

Do I see it correctly that there is an unhatched egg and they keep it?

Any chance to get sound from this birdhouse and how did you do this whole setup?
