With the help of a trail camera you can not only observe wild animals such as wild boars, foxes and the like unnoticed day and night, they are also sometimes used as security against thieves and burglars, as a kind of surveillance camera. With its Scouting Cam Black800 Mini, manufacturer Braun Photo Technik is expanding its extensive range of wildlife cameras to include a particularly small model.

Due to the small dimensions of only 104 × 74.6 × 43 mm and its low weight of only 236 grams, the Scouting Cam Black800 Mini is no bigger than a cigarette packet and can be positioned very inconspicuously in nature. The robust plastic housing, kept in camouflage optics for camouflage, cannot be harmed by rain or dust (protection class IP66).

Technically, the Braun Scouting Cam Black800 Mini is state-of-the-art. With the high-quality 8 megapixel CMOS image sensor, a high image resolution of up to 20 MP and a video resolution of up to 4K can be achieved. The mini trail camera has a very short trigger time of just 0.2 seconds and a passive infrared sensor, or PIR sensor for short, with a detection radius of 60°. As soon as the daylight becomes weaker, the two black infrared LEDs (high power 850nm) are activated and illuminate the scene. For technical reasons, all recordings are then recorded in black and white at night, with the maximum recording distance being 20 meters.

The Braun Scouting Cam Black800 Mini has a 2.0" color TFT display for image control of the recordings, which are saved on a micro SD card (up to 512GB, AVI and JPG format). The Scouting Cam Black800 Mini also delivers videos with a length of three seconds to ten minutes and a resolution of up to 4K (10fps).

In addition, useful time-lapse recordings (video or photo) are possible with the wildlife camera. The trigger interval can be programmed between five seconds and 60 minutes. The standby time is around six months. The operating temperatures range from -7 degrees to 40 degrees. In addition, the Braun Scouting Cam Black800 Mini has an integrated microphone, a loudspeaker, password protection and information about date, time, moon phase and temperature. Power is supplied by four AA batteries. The scope of delivery also includes a tree holder and a fastening strap to fix the camera to a tree. Alternatively, it can also be placed independently on a tripod.
