The Stealth Cam STC-G45NGX is a digital scouting camera designed for outdoor surveillance and wildlife monitoring. It features TRIAD Technology, offering three distinct modes of operation: PIR Photo, PIR Video, and Time Lapse, allowing users to select the most suitable mode for their specific needs.
Function Description:
The primary function of the STC-G45NGX is to capture high-resolution images and videos of wildlife or other subjects in its detection range. It is equipped with a Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor that detects motion, triggering the camera to record. The camera can be programmed to operate 24/7 or within scheduled hours, providing flexibility for various monitoring scenarios. It also includes a Time Lapse function for capturing images at predetermined intervals over extended periods.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Image Resolution: The camera supports multiple image resolutions, including 22MP, 16MP, 8MP, and 4MP, allowing users to balance image quality with memory card storage.
- Video Resolution: In PIR Video mode, the camera records video clips with a designated resolution of 720 x 480 or 1280 x 720.
- PIR Delay: The PIR delay can be set from 00min 05sec to 59min 59sec, determining the time the camera waits before re-initializing its PIR sensor for the next activation.
- PIR Range: The PIR range is adjustable, allowing users to control the sensitivity distance for motion detection.
- Burst Mode: The camera can capture 1 to 9 photos per trigger activation in burst mode.
- IR Brightness Control: Full IR brightness control allows adjustment of the IR LEDs for optimal illumination in low-light conditions.
- Smart IR: The Smart IR feature enables the camera to take color images during the day and black and white images during dusk and dawn lighting conditions. When Smart IR is ON, Photo Burst is limited to (1) image per triggering.
- Audio Recording: The camera supports video with audio recording.
- Battery: The camera operates on 1.5V AA batteries. It is recommended to use new Alkaline or Lithium batteries.
- Memory Card: The camera uses an SD memory card for storage. Image and video capacity vary based on resolution and SD card storage size.
- Operating Environment: The camera is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from 14 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 to 40 degrees Celsius) and relative humidity of 20-85% (non-condensing).
- Connectivity: The camera can be connected to a computer via a USB cable (not included) for viewing images. It is compatible with Windows Vista operating system and above, and Mac OS 10.6 and above.
Usage Features:
- Camera Programming: The camera offers extensive programming options accessible through a menu system. Users can adjust settings such as photo resolution, video resolution, PIR delay, burst mode, and operating hours.
- Quick Set Modes: Three Quick Set modes (Q1, Q2, Q3) provide pre-configured settings for common scenarios, simplifying setup.
- Q1 (PHOTO...8.0MP...30 S DELAY...3 PHOTO BURST): Captures 8.0MP photos with a 30-second timeout delay and a 3-photo burst.
- Q2 (PHOTO BURST – 1 PHOTO): Captures a single 8.0MP photo with a 30-second timeout delay.
- Q3 (720P HD Video with audio): Records 720P HD video with audio, with a 30-second timeout delay and a 10-second video length.
