Be Wary Of Megapixel Ratings

Megapixel ratings for trail cameras seem to increase more & more every year. In reality, the native resolution of 99% of all trail cameras is 5 megapixels or less.  Manufacturers artificially inflate megapixel ratings for advertising purposes through a process called interpolation. Interpolated photos are enhanced by software to mimic the file size of a higher megapixel photo, but seldom offer additional clarity or resolution.  The result is an exponentially larger file size photo which takes longer to load and slows down the speed of your camera.  We always program our cameras to capture photos at the image sensor's native resolution. This allows our cameras to operate as efficiently as possible and store more photos to memory.  With shorter load times,  this also allows us to review photos at a much quicker pace.  To put things in perspective, the trail camera widely considered to be the "Gold Standard" and used by more professional researchers than any other unit is just 3 megapixels.

Here are your best battery options:

Trailcampro Choice: AmpTORRENT Rechargeable AA Lithium

If the Revolver Pro were to take 15-day and 15-night pictures every 24 hours, this camera would last 5.6 months in the field - per charge - on a set of AmpTorrent Rechargeable AA Lithium batteries. 

 

There are a number of benefits to these batteries:

• Up to 1,200 charges
• Consistent 1.5 volt operation
• Charges with the included USB cable
• Eco-friendly (less batteries in a landfill)
• Batteries pay for themselves after 2-3 charges

Longest Lasting Choice: Energizer Ultimate Lithium

If the Revolver Pro were to take 15-day and 15-night pictures every 24 hours, this camera would last 8.4 months in the field on a set of Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries.

Video Mode

If this camera were to take 15 day and 15 night videos every 24 hours, it would last 3.5 months in the field on a set of Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries.

Ultimate Lithium batteries are the longest-lasting battery choice due to their incredible consistency and capacity. We've loved these batteries for a long time. However, in recent years they have become cost prohibitive and forced us to seek out a more affordable, eco-friendly option.

Case Design

  The Revolver 360 Pro is one of two 360 degree cellular camera on the market. It is similar to the older 360 models, but a lot better case design. The unit is very sturdy as the 16 AA batteries hold the bottom down. This unit has 6 PIR sensors and any of them can be turned off. The lens will swing from zone to zone and has a little sound when moving. The door seals up very nicely and is easy to open and close. A bracket on the back allows a python cable to run through and a threaded insert is on the bottom. This unit will come with a t-post mount that can be put on the back of the camera. The two battery trays on the inside are easily accessible. As always, Stealth Cam has an easy setup with no internal screen.

 

 Camera Setup

 

• Download the Stealth Cam Command app and create an account (or sign in)
• Add device (hit + button). Access your QR code underneath the battery tray. Follow instructions to finish

The Trailcampro exclusive 2-year warranty allows you to deal directly with Trailcampro avoiding long wait times on hold with the manufacturer and prolonged periods without a replacement camera.  We turn around most warranties in just one business day!
