What is a trail camera? A trail camera is a camera which is designed to operate unattended outdoors and to automatically capture pictures or video of anything that triggers the built-in motion detector. They are mainly used to monitor wildlife activity but could also be used for security purposes.
VANBAR’s new trail cam, currently heavily discounted to £109.99, arrived packed in an attractive mid-market product box inside of which was the camera itself, metal ground/surface mount with screw fittings, retaining tree mount strap, data cable, 32Gb micro-SD card and User Guide. Although the camera itself is made of plastic and is rather lightweight (which is perhaps no drawback) build quality seems excellent. The User Guide is a good size, well printed, easy to read and is genuinely useful (unlike many).
The IP66 water-resistant camera takes eight AA batteries, which means it can be left to operate unattended over extended periods. For best results, I would advise using more expensive but longer lasting Lithium batteries, but normal batteries should last up to six months on standby but far less if extensively used. The batteries are housed in a compartment at the base of the unit. It also has the option to use a 12v/2A external power supply (not supplied).
On the front of the device are the lens, front motion sensor, two side-facing sensors, microphone and the 40 940nm LEDs infrared panel. On the underside are the metal tripod mount and the grommet protected power in port. On the side are two clips to secure the control panel door. The hinged door opens out to give access to the colour LCD monitor, speaker grill and control buttons. Underneath the speaker grill on the base is the micro-SD card slot, micro-USB port, and power turret switch.
Underneath the screen are water resistant control buttons for Menu, Shot, Replay, and OK as well as up, down, right and left screen navigation controls. Although there are plenty of refinements and fine-tuning that can be made, in fact, the camera can be up and running very quickly with the default settings. After inserting the batteries and removing the gels covering the lens, sensors and screen, set the turret slider to the middle position and press the MENU button. From here you can now set the image and video resolutions, video recording lengths and other parameters such as time stamping, time-lapse, audio etc. One particularly useful feature is that you do not have to choose between Video or Stills as you can set it to record both at once. Remember to insert a micro-SD card first and to format it using the camera software before use.
