Wild camera with WiFi introduction
Wildlife cameras or game cameras date from the early 1990s. This blog is about wildlife cameras with WiFi. These wildlife cameras with WiFi , also called camera traps , are equipped with a motion sensor. This allows hunters, nature lovers and researchers to capture images of nature without disturbing it or being physically present. The wildlife camera naturally captures every movement within the range of the sensor, both during the day and at night, fully automatically.
The image was recorded on a memory card, even on rolls of film or cassettes on the older models. Although these wildlife cameras got the job done, you had to physically visit the wildlife camera to obtain the footage. You could view the information from the memory card with a PC (via cable), while you had to develop rolls of film before you had a photo. Over the years, wildlife cameras have evolved for even more convenience, such as with a WiFi hotspot.
What possibilities does a wildlife camera with WiFi offer? And why would you choose such a wildlife camera?
The Wi-Fi hotspot
What exactly is this Wi-Fi hotspot? A wildlife camera with Wi-Fi hotspot is actually a wildlife camera with Bluetooth functionality. This means that the Wi-Fi hotspot is created by the wildlife camera itself. It does not mean that the camera connects to the Wi-Fi network you have at home. However, you can access the camera files with an app installed on a smartphone or tablet, iOS or Android.
And of course the smart device also has a Bluetooth function. You can also adjust the camera settings via Bluetooth. As the owner of a wildlife camera with WiFi hotspot, you can connect to the camera at a short distance. Within an open line of sight, this distance is between approximately 1 and 5 meters. The advantage of this is that you can obtain the captured images without physically visiting the camera.
As long as you are within range of the camera's Wi-Fi hotspot, you can view the images from your wildlife camera with an app on your smartphone or tablet. You can view the images by first downloading them to your smartphone or tablet. With most cameras, these images are reduced versions of the original ones. The original images remain locally stored on the camera's memory card.
Why a wildlife camera with WiFi?
When you want to download the images, the camera itself switches to a Wi-Fi hotspot and puts the images 'in the air'. You can then connect to the wildlife camera with the Bluetooth function of your smartphone or tablet and the app. That is why it is also said that these cameras have Bluetooth/Wi-Fi operation. The choice for this camera mainly has to do with places that are difficult to reach.
Just think of a bird's nest high in the ridge of your house or if you want to record images in a dense hedge. Apart from recording images in difficult-to-reach locations, you disrupt nature as little as possible with such a camera. It is also ideal for the backyard. You can then view the images within range of the camera and from the comfort of your home. The cameras with a live feed are interesting because then you can immediately watch if the camera has spotted something nice.
Moreover, it is a perfect way for hunters to unknowingly observe their prey. These cameras certainly offer a solution for nature lovers. Especially for professional photographers and researchers who want to capture images without disturbing nature.
Important to know about a WiFi wildlife camera
Wildlife cameras can be provided with a camouflage pattern so that wildlife is less likely to notice them. Reaction speed also plays a role in your choice. Especially if you know in advance that it is a fast animal, you want a camera trap with a fast response time. In addition, the resolution of the wildlife camera plays an important role so that you can clearly see what has been filmed or photographed.
The range of the motion sensor of the wildlife camera is also important. The greater the range, the sooner the camera will detect movement and photograph or film it. Finally, it is important to know which weather conditions the camera trap can withstand, so that you can enjoy your investment for a long time to come. And of nature.
