Our clients often ask us for advice on the power plugs for various cameras, however, as sizes and shapes of connectors do not consistently correspond to the same names, power specifications across manufacturers and models, it is often an impossible task. Low glow flashes emit 850nm wavelength light, which although almost invisible to the naked eye can cause the lamp to glow a dim red, potentially disturbing highly sensitive animals. No glow flashes emit 940nm wavelength light which is completely invisible, running no risk of scaring wildlife. While no glow flashes are more discreet they’re often not as bright, resulting in a shorter effective flash range, and they’re almost always more expensive than the low glow equivalent. The photos and video are time and date stamped. With some models of camera, that is, those with Wi-Fi, you can arrange to view the recordings through your smartphone.

We’ve already mentioned how flash type can affect image quality, but the feature having the greatest effect on this is the resolution of image-sensor used. Resolution is stated in Megapixels (MP), and is simply the number of pixels recorded in a digital image. One Megapixel is one million pixels. The more Megapixels, the better quality the image is likely to be, but with the downside that a high Megapixel count will result in you using up your camera’s memory storage (its SD card) more rapidly. Most trail cameras are now 5 MP or greater, but beware of ‘ interpolated’ values because these represent lower resolution image sensors but where the camera’s processor has estimated what an image would look like at higher resolution – a 12 MP interpolated image won’t be as good as a fully 12 MP one.Don't forget that trail camera aren't designed to be monitored continuously, so don't have high-quality view-finders. Some don't even have screens, which can make menu operation harder but save some cash.
