The Num'axes PIE1066 combines a low price point with a remarkably compact design in an impressively portable entry-level trail camera for those interest in monitoring local wildlife. It captures video in FULL HD 1080p quality at 30FPS and still images up to 16MP, producing excellent results for the low cost, and features no-glow LEDs to make it less visible not just to animals but also to potential thieves or vandals.
The PIE1066 has a trigger time of 0.4 seconds, a flash range of around 15m, and features a range of options to tailor the results to the users' requirements and local conditions. The PIR sensor can be set to low, medium, or high sensitivity, and also features an 'auto' mode suitable for those new to camera trapping. Photo and video resolution can be decreased to increase battery time, and the camera will capture one-or-the-other or both depending on the settings selected. Video length ranges from 10 seconds to three minutes, and photos can be captured singly, in pairs, or batches of three. The camera can be named and password protected if desired, and has a standbye time of up to three months. In the field it is powered by 4x AA batteries, although the life can be improved via an external power bank.
Media is saved to a micro SD card that is inserted into the top of the camera, videos in AVI (MUPG) format and images as JPEGs. The PIE1066 comes with a free mounting kit and is waterproofed to IP66 standard, making it suitable for deployment in all but the most adverse weather conditions.
Includes:
Also available as a starter bundle which includes the trail camera, 8 x lithium AA batteries and a 32GB MicroSD card.
Note: Although rechargeable batteries (of at least 2500mAh) can be used with trail cameras, they are not recommended due to their lower capacity and voltage. Therefore they are unlikely to operate the camera at its full potential, or as reliably when compared with standard lithium batteries. If the use of rechargeable batteries is necessary we recommend Panasonic Eneloop Pro batteries which have been shown to perform well with trail cameras. Additionally, we recommend using a microSD card with a minimum write speed of 10MB/s (also labelled as U1 or class 10).
