3 Basic Features You Need in a Trail Camera

If you plan to purchase a trail camera shortly, you must consider these three essential features. 

Like conventional digital cameras, the trail cameras are also available in different makes, models, specifications, and prices which can make it a tedious job to choose the best out of them. Here is a guide to a few features that you need to consider in a trail camera. All the cameras available in the Rustic Sportsman offer the best features that help to provide a better image quality. 

Flashes

There are three main types of flashes available in the camera from Rustic Sportsman. These include white flash, infrared flash, and no glow cameras. Each of these is different, and they offer their own set of advantages and disadvantages. 

White Flash

These give off literal flashes like the DSLR cameras and are suitable for night images. These are most suitable for you if you are trying to take colored pictures in the dark. The only downside of this type of camera is that it is always prone to psyching deers, so if you are trying to target a buck or keep a low profile, then it is best not to use these cameras. 

Low Glow

These produce a visible red glow from the infrared emitters while taking night photos. The red light is visible when looking at the camera, but in most cases, these don't spook deer. But it is best that you don't use the IR emitters for long. The most significant advantage of the low glow over the other flash types is that it offers better night photos than the no glow cameras and does not spook deers like the white flash cameras. 

No Glow

These do not produce visible light while taking night photos, but they have their advantages and disadvantages. The downside of these cameras is that they don't offer high-quality pictures at night, and the upside is that with the advancements in the technologies in the camera, they can still provide decent night pictures. You don't even need to worry about scaring the deer. Another advantage of these cameras is that they are less likely to get stolen by trespassers lurking in the dark. 

Detection Area

The detection area is also referred to as the detection zone, and it is an area of the trail camera that picks up the movement. While marketing the specs, they are given a detection distance and how far an animal can be from the trail camera to detect the motion. You can use the detection area as a criterion to choose the type of camera you require. The landscaping and the scenario also play a significant role. 

Trigger Speed

The trigger speed specifies how fast the camera can take a picture after the movement is detected. The cameras available on the Rustic Sportsman offer breakneck trigger speeds. The trigger speed should be a crucial condition for choosing your cameras, especially if you are trying to take a picture in a funnel during the rut. In such cases, the speed must be breakneck. If the camera is slow, you may only get a picture of its hindquarter or a blank photo. 

Conclusively these are some of the essential features that you need to consider while buying a trail camera.
