How long should my trail camera’s video be?
The length of video is an important part of setting up your trail camera’s video. If you make the video too long, you are wasting valuable storage space. If you set your video too short, you might be missing a lot of action. Trail camera’s on today’s market range in video length from 5 seconds up to 5 minutes.
Can trail cameras be plugged into motion detection devices?
Although some trail cameras can be plugged into external motion detection devices, most use PIRs. PIRs detect average changes in the thermal landscape in front of the trail camera and not the specific heat sources a thermal imager does. These changes in temperature occur whenever anything moves that is a different temperature to its background.
How important is FPS in trail camera videos?
