For Security

Camera traps are increasingly used for remote security or monitoring for criminal activity. We have plenty of experience in this sector, including with the Police, councils, and security organisations, and we’re happy to advise clients on the best options.

Generally, the first requirement is a camera with no-glow LEDs, so the cameras can’t be spotted – but you could mount the camera out of reach if a no-glow LED option doesn’t suit your needs. Other top considerations should be great image/video quality (for identifying people) and battery life.
