Fast Trigger Speed

The highly sensitive motion sensor precisely detects animal movements. The fast triggering time (< 0.35 ~ 0.45 seconds) of the ZEISS Secacam results in minimal motion blur for easier response. During triggering, the trail camera automatically adjusts the strength of the flash, which is invisible to animals and humans. This prevents incorrect exposures and minimizes energy consumption.

Sent videos are limited in resolution and recording length (480p | 10 seconds) and do not depend on the device settings in the menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

ZEISS Trail Cameras

  • The ZEISS Secacam 3 no longer uses an SD card for storage but offers a user-friendly way to transfer your images and videos via a USB-C port. If you want to manually copy your media to an external device, simply connect a USB-C stick (formatted in FAT32) to the USB-C port on the bottom of the ZEISS Secacam 3 and select the "USB Transfer" menu option. You have three different transfer methods available:

    1. Folder Selection: The ZEISS Secacam 3 will display the media folders available on the camera's internal memory. The camera automatically creates a new folder after 1,000 captured media items, which are sorted by the date of capture. Navigate using the arrow keys to the desired folders, mark them for download with the "PLAY" button, and start the download with the "OK" button. Wait for the download to complete and then remove the stick.
    2. Date Selection: Use the arrow keys to select a time period and confirm your choice with the "OK" button. All images and videos captured during this period will now be transferred to the USB-C stick. Wait for the download to complete and then remove the stick.
    3. All Folders: If you choose this download method, all data from the camera's internal memory will be transferred to the USB-C stick. Please note that this can be very time-consuming.

    WARNING!
    The more data you copy at once from the internal memory of the ZEISS Secacam 3 to an external device, the longer the copying process will take.

  • With the ZEISS Secacam 5 and ZEISS Secacam 7 4G-enabled trail cameras, you receive your recorded images and videos directly on your mobile phone via the ZEISS Secacam app. With conventional models, the storage media e.g. the SD card must be collected manually and evaluated on a PC, for example. Thanks to the modern LTE module with integrated multi-roaming SIM card, the camera can dial into the mobile networks of a wide range of providers and automatically selects the best network available at the location where it is installed. In this way, the images are transmitted directly to your end device via the mobile network without additional roaming charges. With the ZEISS Secacam app, you can view your images clearly in the gallery on your device, activate direct notifications, set profiles and much more.

  • Attractive and fair price structures are available for the ZEISS Secacams. You can choose between a prepaid service and various service plans that you can cancel monthly without any conditions.
