In one box I have the Hawkeye Nature Cam. I don’t recommend it because it is not of high quality but it is relatively cheap. In the other box I have the Hawkeye High Definition Nature Cam. This gives me a clear picture. The cameras have built-in infrared lamps which give enough light to illuminate the box while not disturbing the ducks. Her is the link: https://www.birdhousespycam.com/description.aspx?Productid=452&ProductTypeName=Hawk-Eye-High-Definition-Nature-Cam <https://www.birdhousespycam.com/description.aspx?Productid=452&ProductTypeName=Hawk-Eye-High-Definition-Nature-Cam> The camera comes with 100’ of cable which I plug into a small HDTV.
