| What
are EVS TrailCams?
EVS TrailCams are high resolution
digital still cameras inside environmentally protected housings that
are triggered by most common types of motion sensors. Images are
stored on the compact flash disks inside the camera. Used in conjunction
with our Biscuit System and VM95 software, you can:
-
Schedule automatic image retrieval
from the camera to the Biscuit
-
Automatically label each image
with date/time, exposure setting, and text
-
Automatically call the Internet
and upload the latest imagery
-
Maintain an archive of the images
both locally and on the Internet
-
Automatically create slide shows
for the Internet of any set of images
-
Preset the camera for any settings
including flash and long exposures before going into TrailCam mode
-
Schedule the camera for taking
images at regular intervals
-
Make Mpeg movies of the captured
images and upload them to the Internet
-
See the Biscuit
for more capabilities
TrailCam Mode:
When put into TrailCam mode, the camera
takes pictures in the following way:
-
When motion is detected (or any
other sensor is tripped) the camera takes a picture. It waits
about 15 seconds to fully process the image and repeats the process,
snapping another picture immediately if the sensor is still tripped.
-
The processing time, which is
the minimum time between pictures, can be set from 5 seconds to
2 minutes. The minimum time allowable is the time the camera needs
to process the image and depends largely on the resolution, varying
from 5 to 20 seconds.
-
The maximum number of shots the
camera can take depends on the size of the compact flash disk. On
a 256 MByte flash disk, you can store over 250 of the highest resolution
images (1MByte file size) or over 2000 images at low resolution
(100K each- which is still significantly better than video capture
quality).
-
When used with a Biscuit, TrailCam
mode can be turned on and off many times a day for image retrieval
and archiving, ensuring that the latest imagery is on the Internet.
