Wireless Wildlife Cameras

Wireless wildlife cameras are a fast growing area in the world of wildlife watching. By wireless, we mean that you can access the wildlife camera's images remotely via WiFi or 4G, without needing to physically go to the camera itself. Whether you’re in the field, at home, or at work, if your camera captures something, you’ll know about it. Our WildCam 2 and BirdCam Pro offer live streaming via WiFi too.

Wireless trail cameras are ideal for less accessible areas or areas that need monitoring without disturbance. They’re also handy when you need to be alerted the moment an animal arrives. Check the product pages for more information.

    Wireless Wildlife Cameras

    Wireless wildlife cameras are a fast growing area in the world of wildlife watching. By wireless, we mean that you can access the wildlife camera's images remotely via WiFi or 4G, without needing to physically go to the camera itself. The main advantage of a wireless wildlife camera is their ability to transmit images instantly to your phone or tablet. Whether you’re in the field, at home, or at work, if your camera captures something, you’ll know about it. Some wifi wildlife cameras also send videos or offer live streaming straight to your device.

    Wireless trail cameras are ideal for less accessible areas, or areas that need monitoring without disturbance. They’re also handy for situations where you need to be alerted the moment an animal arrives. This makes them a great choice for surveying or monitoring purposes. Like all the cameras we stock, our wireless cams have excellent motion detection range, black and white night vision capabilities, and fast trigger speeds. Many of our cameras also come with a free memory card. Check the product pages for more information about individual specifications. 

    Many cameras (such as the SpyPoint cameras) come with the SIM cards and need to be activated via an app. The app can also be used to change the settings remotely, making it easy to adjust things like sensitivity without visiting the camera. It’s worth noting that all non-WiFi wireless trap cameras will have ongoing costs for the network or app.

    FAQs

    A 4G camera works over the phone networks - or cellular. These wildlife cameras have SIM cards. There will usually be a monthly or annual cost to using this kind of camera.

    A WiFi camera is either going to connect to your home WiFi network (like the WildCam 2 or BirdCam Pro), or have a local WiFi connection where you connect directly to the camera (like the Helarctos).

    A local WiFi trail camera, like our Helarctos model, is where you connect directly to the camera itself, and not via the internet.

    This means you need to be within range of the camera - usually 25-30ft. Y

    It depends on the wildlife camera - check the specs on the product page for each camera.

    The WiFi WildCam 2 for example does allow you to watch a live feed, when the camera is connected to your WiFi.

    Some 4G cameras allow you to watch live feeds, but not too many - check the specs for more details.

    It very much depends on the camera itself, but any 4G camera will have a subscription. The WiFi cameras do not have subscriptions. Check the product pages for more details.
