Product Information

However, they can also be pretty complicated to understand – especially if you’re new to the universe of cameras and don’t know what to look out for. There’s a lot of jargon mixed up with trail cameras that can get confusing.

The camera will also need to use artificial light to take nighttime images. The best garden wildlife cameras will have no-glow rather than low-glow LEDs , as these are less likely to scare animals away. Hello, we recommend that the closest distance for the A3S camera to shoot is 2.5 meters. Better picture quality can be guaranteed at this distance and beyond.

BVR Rating

A trigger speed that’s too slow will mean you may miss wildlife altogether – by the time the camera has taken a photo, the animal will already have disappeared. For night time images, you’ll require artificial light. Infrared options are the most popular as they won’t scare away the animals – unlike the blinding white flash of a traditional camera! For example, you may have seen products described as ‘IP66’. The first number relates to how well the product is protected against ingress from solid objects (e.g., dust). The second number relates to how well the product is protected against water ingress.

Customers report success using rechargeable batteries, which is a better choice for both the environment and wallet. Battery usage is high, but not excessive – eight batteries may run out of charge after approximately four weeks (recording an average of 30 x 20 second videos per night). It’s also possible to use an external power supply, but none of the cables are provided for this.

Low-light illumination comes courtesy of an 850nm low-glow LED flash. Although not completely invisible to the naked eye, the flash causes disturbance to most wildlife and, with an illumination range of up to 25 metres, it’s ideal for larger gardens. After using my A3-1 for a couple months the settings changed, possibly because the batteries depleted? After installing new batteries, in trying to reset settings, it's asking for a passcode to get access. I didn't put in a passcode to begin with and now I can't change my settings to what I want. Is there a default passcode to get me goin?
