What to look for in a trail camera for hunting, wildlife management, wildlife photography or home security? There are so many game cameras out there, many from big name brands, so how do you know which one is right for you? Is it better to buy a more expensive one from an established brand or risk a generic clone from Asia?
Each camera comes with a long list of specifications – everything from trigger speed to infrared distance to the number and type of batteries it requires. What does it all mean, and what specs should you really be paying attention to?
Is it better to get as many technical extras as possible, or should you be looking for something much simpler and easier to manage? This all comes down to needs and requirements, something I’ll be looking at in this video.
I’ve been using trail cameras for about 10 years in the forests of the Carpathian Mountains of Central Eastern Europe. I’ve even given lectures on them in the UK at the Wilderness Gathering festival and written about them for the Bushcraft Magazine. In this video I show just what options are available and give my suggestions to what you should be looking for when choosing a trail camera, based on experience and personal preference. I also include footage of several different species of animal which I have filmed with game cameras over the years.
