Wildlife camera

A wildlife camera has a camouflaged design and features various sensors that facilitate outdoor photography and filming. The market for this type of camera is seeing a rapid growth in demand from hunters and wildlife enthusiasts. The material collected by such a camera can be used for research as well as for making collages and animal books.

Sensors detect the animals

The major advantage of a wildlife camera is that by using a motion and infrared sensor it is possible to capture exactly when animals are in the range of the camera. The motion detector has a specific range that can be as far as several metres. The speed can be a mere fraction of a second. So no wildlife detail will be missed. Many of today's wildlife cameras are no-glow, which means the infrared light is invisible to the animals. So they won't be frightened off or disturbed. Recordings of animal life can be made during the day and at night. The number of megapixels varies per camera, starting from a few, to above ten.

Recording within a specific time frame

You can set your own start and finish times during which the camera takes interval footage. When choosing intervals, you can choose between a short period of time (from one second), to longer durations (one hour). Wildlife cameras can switch from day to night to infrared mode. Leaving the footage rolling. Picture quality depends on the camera type. All wildlife cameras are impermeable, leaving nothing to chance.
