Trail Cameras

Trail cameras, sometimes called remote or game cameras, are mostly used by hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to capture images of wildlife by taking pictures or videos. These cameras are strategically placed in areas where wildlife is likely to roam to monitor their activities and track their movements even when you’re not around. These are especially useful during hunting season because it allow hunters to see what kind of game is wandering through their area before going out into the wild. With a trail camera, you can plan your trip accordingly and make sure that you have everything necessary for a successful hunt.

THE BEST TRAIL CAMERA FEATURES

Depending on what you’re using it for, there are different types of hunting cameras available on the market. While most of these cameras have similar features, there are some differences about their functionality, how much they cost, and how long they last. Here are some of the best features of trail cams.

MEGAPIXEL

This is an important feature to consider when buying a trail camera. It refers to the number of pixels that the camera can capture. A higher megapixel means a better quality image and a clearer shot of what is happening in the camera’s line of vision.

LENS

The quality of the lens affects the clarity of your photo. The better the lens on your camera, the clearer your photos will be and the better chance to get something usable from it. Some of the best trail cameras in Australia include fixed-focus lenses and zoomed optical lenses that allow you to capture more detail.

TRIGGER SPEED

It determines how quickly you’ll be able to catch images of animals that are in motion. If your camera has a slow trigger speed, then you might miss out on capturing a quick-moving animal as it darts through the woods or tries to escape from its natural predators. The best game camera has fast trigger speeds so that you don’t miss out on capturing those fleeting moments of action.

DETECTION RANGE

This refers to how far away an object can be detected before the camera automatically triggers and captures an image or video clip of whatever has been captured by its sensors (usually infrared). The higher this number is, the better. Some high-end trail cam models can detect up to 100 feet.

NIGHT VISION

This allows you to take photos even in low-light situations, which means you can capture more of the animal’s natural behavior. This can be especially important if you’re trying to catch a picture of an elusive nocturnal animal. If you want to be able to capture images at night or in low light, make sure your camera has infrared LEDs. These infrared lights will allow you to take clear pictures even in low light conditions.
