This is really neat. There is motion activated camera that turns on and sends you a notice when there is activity--such as a bird eating at the feeder, and also someone walking by. I delayed setting this up because it looked complicated, because it does not have a way to hang on a pole--which was my original plan for it--and because it comes with a bunch of plastic pieces but no instructions on how to use them. It turned out to be pretty simple to download the app and connect it with my phone. I don't want to start drilling holes in my house, and squirrls use my trees as highways. So, I wasn't sure where to put it. It comes with a long strip with velcro. I used it to attach to my porch fence. It is now close enough to my wi-fi to get a good signal, and I can use it as an inconspicuous door cam. The plastic pieces turn out to be optional. I'm not using them. I was looking forward to having the camera identify birds for me, but that turns out to be an additional service that costs about $4 per month. Not for me. That's disappointing.
