MINOX DTC 550 Digital Trail Camera:

MINOX will launch a new Digital Trail Camera at the 2017 British Shooting Show- the MINOX DTC 550.

Demand for trail cameras continues to grow as users discover new applications for the technology; in addition to the tradition observation of wildlife, trail cameras are increasing being used for domestic and commercial surveillance purposes.This latest addition to the MINOX DTC range features a newly designed intuitive guidance set-up menu that is quick and easy to use.

The MINOX DTC 550 is fitted with a new 5 megapixel sensor which provides outstanding imaging quality and pin-sharp definition in both day-light and night use; the camera captures single images and video recordings in full HD resolution andalso features a new variable time lapse mode designed for speeding up the long-term recording of motion sequences. An infrared flash helps capture images in poor light or darkness at distances of up to 15 meters; the flash is invisible to people and most animals. The DTC550 has a remarkably fast shutter release of 0.4 seconds and a dormant 'stand-by' battery life of up to 6 months.

All data are stored on a SD card and images can be reviewed directly from the integrated 2.4‘‘ monitor or transferred to a computer via USB port. The DTC 550 can also be password protected against unauthorised access.

A robust and weatherproof plastic body protects the inside of the camera and keeps out moisture, dust excess of cold and heat.

The new MINOX DTC 550 is available in a camouflage design and comes with fixing strap, wall mounting fixture and USB cable.
