trail cameras

Motion-triggered forest cameras

Trail cameras are motion-activated cameras mounted outdoors to capture wildlife or monitor remote areas.

Hunters use them to track game movement; property owners use them for security.

They record still images or video when triggered by motion or heat, typically to a memory card.

Also called game cameras or wildlife cameras.
