remote cameras

Far-off recording devices

Remote cameras are cameras operated from a distance, either triggered automatically or controlled by an operator who isn't physically present.

Wildlife photographers use them to capture animals without disturbing them; sports photographers place them in locations too dangerous or restricted for people: The remote camera caught the falcon returning to its nest.

The term also covers surveillance and security cameras monitored from a central location.
