1.Introduction
RADIX TRAIL CAMERASis a digital scouting and infrared surveillance camera, triggered
by any movement of humans or animals monitored by a high sensitive Passive Infrared (PIR) motion
sensor, and then automatically captures high quality pictures or records audio video clips according to
default settings or preset settings.
These camera uses the invisible/visible flash night vision LEDs for night time illumination. These LEDs
will/will not have a red grow when illuminated depending on the model. It will deliver clear photos or
videos (in black &white) even in the dark. And it will take 12MP color photos or 1080P videos under
sufficient daylight.
The camera is designed for outdoor use and is resistant against water and snow.
