Trail & Game Cameras
Rugged motion-triggered trail cameras for wildlife monitoring, hunting and property surveillance, tested for Australian conditions.
How trail cameras work
A trail camera uses a passive infrared (PIR) sensor to detect heat and movement, then takes photos or video and saves them to an SD card. At night, infrared illuminators light the scene without a visible flash, so animals and people are not disturbed.
What to compare
- Trigger speed: how fast the camera fires after it detects movement. The Swift Enduro reacts in 0.35 seconds and the Reconyx HyperFire 4K in a quarter of a second.
- Night vision: no-glow infrared is covert; white flash cameras such as the Reconyx UltraFire range give full-colour night images.
- Battery life: look for long run times, and add solar for sites you can't visit often. Our guide to getting the most out of your camera's battery life explains how.
- Remote access: if you need images sent to your phone, choose a 4G camera.
