When purchasing a hunting infrared trigger camera, you need to focus on the following parameters:
Image quality
Pixels: Physical pixels determine the clarity and detail capture ability of the image. It is generally recommended to choose a camera with 5 million pixels or above, such as Onick AM-8, to ensure that the captured animal photos and videos are clear and easy to observe and identify animal species and behaviors.
Resolution: Including photo resolution and video resolution. Higher resolutions such as 1080P or even higher can provide clearer images and video quality. For example, Onick AM-950 supports 1080P high-definition video, which is more conducive to observing and analyzing animal details.
Trigger performance
Trigger speed: Generally, it is more appropriate to be between 0.3-1 seconds. If the speed is too fast, only half of the animal may be captured, and if it is too slow, the animal's activity moment may be missed. For example, the trigger speed of Onick AM-8 is 0.3 seconds, which can quickly capture the activity of animals.
Trigger distance: usually around 10-30 meters, which can be selected according to the actual monitoring environment and the activity range of the target animal. If the distance is too far, the image of the animal captured may be too small or unclear, and if it is too close, the animal may be easily frightened.
Sensing angle: A wider sensing angle can cover a larger area, but it may increase the rate of false shooting. Generally, it is ideal between 60°-120°. For example, the sensing angle of Onick AM-8 is 120°, which can be selected according to actual needs.
Night vision function
Night vision distance: Generally, it is required to be around 20-35 meters to ensure that the activities of animals can be clearly captured at night. For example, the infrared hunting night vision camera of Gaudi Digital has a night vision distance of up to 35 meters.
Infrared light type and wavelength: There are two common wavelengths: 850nm and 940nm. The 940nm infrared light is relatively more concealed and not easily detected by animals, but the lighting effect may be slightly weaker; the 850nm infrared light has a better lighting effect, but there may be a slight red exposure phenomenon.
Storage and battery life
Storage capacity: Choose the appropriate storage capacity according to your needs. It is generally recommended to choose a camera that supports a memory card of 32GB or more, such as the Onick AM-950 wildlife infrared trigger camera with MMS and GPS, which supports an external TF card. It is best to have a super storage space of 512GB to meet the needs of long-term monitoring.
Battery life: The standby time and continuous shooting ability of the camera are also very important. Generally, the standby time is required to be more than 3 months and the continuous shooting ability is more than 1,000 photos to reduce the frequency of battery replacement in the wild. For example, Gaudi Digital's camera has an ultra-long standby time of 16 months.
Environmental adaptability
Waterproof and dustproof level: Generally, it is required to reach IP66 or IP68 level to ensure that the camera can still work normally under severe weather conditions such as heavy rain and heavy snow. For example, the waterproof levels of Onick AM-8 and AM-950 are IP68 and IP66 respectively.
Working temperature range: Choose a camera that can adapt to a wide temperature range, generally between - 20℃ and + 60℃, to ensure normal use in different seasons and regions.
Other functions
Continuous shooting function: Some cameras have a continuous shooting function, which can take multiple photos in a short period of time, which helps to capture the continuous movements of animals, such as Onick AM-8, which can take 1/3/6/9 continuous shots.
Positioning function: Some advanced cameras have GPS positioning function, which can record the latitude and longitude information of the shooting location, facilitating the subsequent tracking and analysis of the animal's activity location, such as Onick AM-950 wildlife infrared trigger camera with MMS and GPS.
