Bird box watching! (1 Viewer)

Hello everyone. I’ve recently put up a woodcrete bird box (32mm entryway), I have a pair of Blue Tits checking it out. They’ve been coming & going for nearly 2months now. I’ve Not seen them taking nesting material inside yet, but I’m not stood there 24/7, so my question is this. Can someone recommend a camera that would do the job of taking motion activated video of the birds, I have a browning trail cam but they’re for trails, also I tried it & the blue tits didn’t like being so close & stayed away from box. Anyway your help is greatly needed. The box is situated on wall about 7foot high & is facing between north & west (nearer to west though).
Cheers
Sean
 
I bought this one
(2.8mm) and I'm quite happy with it.
Here you can see it in action:
 
Hi, it looks a good camera but I don’t want one for inside the box, just a camera to fix to fence that records birds coming & going. Mh resident Blue tits have started taking nesting material into the bird house, so 🤞🏻they’re successfull & would be a first for my garden. I should say as well my nest box is west facing & is about 15 feet away from my feeders I’ve hung in hawthorn tree. Anyway I think I’ll try my trail camera again.
