Reconyx SC950 HyperFire General Surveillance Camera

Capture photos and video of trespassers or game while you're away, thanks to the gray SC950 HyperFire General Surveillance Camera from RECONYX. It takes 3.1MP photos when triggered by motion detection or a programmable time-lapse setting. The PIR motion sensor features a 100' range and a very fast 0.2-sec trigger speed to ensure you don't miss the action, while time-lapse mode provides a range of selectable, regular intervals allowing you to see patterns and change over time. Designed to be discreet, the HyperFire has an invisible No Glow infrared flash that provides illumination without spooking or alerting your subjects.

The camera records images to optional SD/SDHC memory cards up to 32GB. It runs on 12 optional AA lithium batteries or AA NiMH rechargeable batteries. Additionally, the HyperFire can operate on an optional external power supply. The included MapView Professional Software with Google Maps technology lets you organize your images geographically and access them with ease. Security scheduling software, also included, allows you to set up the camera ahead of time so that it will be on or off during various times of the day and days of the week. As an added bonus, the HyperFire is supplied with an adjustable bungee cord for mounting to a tree or post.
