Carefully open your package to reveal your Egg camera, a mounting bracket, and necessary screws. You might also have ordered optional accessories like the Suction Cups or Magic Arms for versatile placement. Ensure you have a smartphone or tablet ready, and a stable Wi-Fi connection.
First, attach The Egg to its mounting bracket. Then, download the BirdReel app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect The Egg to your Wi-Fi network. This usually involves scanning a QR code generated by the app with The Egg's camera. Once connected, you can customize settings like motion detection and recording quality.
