JCS Wildlife Squirrel House Camera DIY Add-On

Turn your squirrel house into a smart wildlife station—no new house required.

Capture the secret life of squirrels with the Squirrel House Camera DIY Add-On. This kit lets you upgrade your existing squirrel house or Nutty Mansion with a motion-activated Wi-Fi camera and solar-powered charging system—no need to buy a whole new setup.

DIY-Friendly Installation
This kit includes a two-sided drilling template tailored for either the Squirrel House or Nutty Mansion. With basic tools (drill, jigsaw, tape), you’ll create a precise roof cutout to mount the camera housing box. Clear markings guide you through each step—just follow the template, drill, cut, and attach.
