Characteristics
Spypoint's Force-20 is a wildlife camera trap that can capture 20 Mega Pixel photos and videos when it detects motion. It has a fast trigger speed of 0.7 seconds. The camera detects movements up to 21 m away. During the day the images are in color and at night in grayscale, via an infrared camera. Night images are illuminated with 48 super-low-glow LEDs, so that the night shots are sufficiently illuminated. Images can be provided with date, time, temperature (°C/°F) and moon phase at the time of the observation (see photos). The footage is stored on an SD card in the camera. They cannot be viewed locally on the site. The LCD screen only serves to set the configuration of the camera. It can be set in 3 modes;
- Multi-shot mode: 5 photos per trigger
- Time-lapse mode: Take a photo at a regular time interval between 30 seconds to 1 hour.
- Continuous mode: This mode overwrites the oldest files when the SD card is full.
Good to put in a remote location. Can be tied around a tree with a strap.
Comes with a 16 GB SD card and SD card reader to transfer images to the computer (necessary for computers without SD card slot).
