2 Introduction
Big Eye G3 wildlife camera (also known as wireless hunting
camera / 3G trail cameras) is an wireless infrared detection device
with 3Gnetwork. It is triggered by pyroelectric infrared sensor (PIR).
Any change of environment temperature caused by movement of
animals in observation area automatically triggers completion of
photographs or video. The detection photos could be sent by the
camera to a mobile phone or mailbox via 3G network and remote
setting of camera can be achieved by SMS.。
Applications
A． The product can be used by hunting enthusiasts to detect animal
and animal infested areas.
B． Ecological photography enthusiasts, wildlife protection
volunteers, etc. Can use it for outdoor automatic image
shooting.
C． It can be used for growth observation of wildlife and plants.
