Description
Scoutguard cameras have been the cameras that have revolutionized the photo trapping, for its reliability, simple operation, long battery life and low price, but especially for its small size. Bolymedia is the manufacturer.
It is another of Bolymedia's mini-cameras with only 11 cm high and 8 cm wide, which allows a good concealment in the field.
Many of the new models from this manufacturer are changing the battery type to the rechargeable 18650 lithium batteries which provide 3.7V (for comparison, an AA alkaline battery provides 1.5V). This represents an advantage in battery life, as it supports between 500 and 1000 charge cycles.
The camera has been simplified to achieve a very competitive price, but with the reliability of the Scoutguard electronics. The display and control buttons are located on the front of the camera and inside you can only access the batteries and SD memory.
However, don't be fooled, even though it's small, it has the power of other cameras. With 18 megapixels and HD video with audio this is a camera that has nothing to envy to other higher priced models.
Its powerful sensor has a range of 30 meters and its black light LEDs also reach almost 30 meters.
We recommend for this model the mini solar panel SP-02U (7 x 9 cm) that completes in an exceptional way the duration of load of this camera, forgetting the problem of the energy during years.
