trailcams

Forest surveillance devices

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

Hunters use them to track game patterns; researchers study animal behavior; property owners watch for trespassers.

The cameras record still images or video when triggered by movement, storing footage on memory cards for later review: The trailcam caught a mountain lion passing through at 3 a.m.
