What is the max distance this camera will trigger?

For a complete understanding of how trail cameras visit trailcampro.com. The flash range is totally different from the detection range. Detection is triggered by heat and movement. Check detection range by walking across the camera's field of view not directly towards it. A detection range of 50 feet or more is excellent. This camera will not flash with rechargeable batteries and needs lithium batteries to perform best. See website above for real world tests and comparisons among many cameras.

I bought this camera based on the 75-100 ft responses here, but I'm very disappointed in that mine will only trigger by a human at about 20 to 25 ft. I can start walking slowly towards it from 150 ft away and the only time it takes a photo is when I'm almost on top of it. Very disappointed!

I really don't know. If I have nothing near by to mount the camera on, I use T post driven in the ground at about 30-40 feet from the feeders.

I'm not sure but my son set it up in a tree line in the yard about 50 yards from the road and the cars rolling by would trigger it. He checked the SD card and it had over 1600 pictures on it, it caught every vehicle that passed by until he adjusted it. It works very well and takes great pictures, make sure you get a class 10 SD card.

It seems the distance depends on the mass of the heat generating object, I assume if a Rino or Elephant were a hundred feet away, it would trigger the IR sensor. I as a heat generating object seem to trigger the IR sensor about ten to fifteen feet away. In general, I have been disappointed with the range and general workings of the camera. My camera will not place the time of the triggering on the memory chip for downloading to either my Mac or Windows computers.

I have it set up on my garage and it takes a picture every time my dog moves in his pen. Its 14ft high angled down and the pen is about 100 ft away. I have pics of cats about 50ft behind the dog but I don't know if the dog or cat triggered the camera.

It triggers steadily at 75ft and will trigger out to 100ft. I have had great results.

I am planning to use the camera 30meters away from the router, with a wall in between. I suspect this will be too far. Hence my question... Thanks

My cam at the front of the house pointing to the front door can be triggered by traffic on the street which is 15 to 20 feet away, you can adjust the sensitivity to make it more or less sensitive to movement and create zones that are the areas that trigger the camI have been very satisfied with the two I have and plan to get another

Nikon specs say up to 999 feet. I have used mine up to 650 feet with great accuracy. Have not had to use it up to 999 feet.

It's kind of from the camera to infiniti (as far as the camera can see). Varies with the amount of light the camera "sees" + the size of the object in motion. One camera we have set can detect motion from about 40 to 50 feet away, with light from passing cars on the street further than that, maybe 60 feet. It records 10 seconds before the trigger event, then as long as there is motion to record. It has also recorded small moths that has flown in front of the camera (unexpected sensitivity). VERY pleased with this product & it's capabilities inside our home.

It's an IR remote, so you need a line of sight to the sensor on the camera. No need to be directly in front of the camera, but the sensor has to see the remote. I haven't checked the actual range.

Depending on the location of the camera, I have gotten between 60 and 90 feet for the motion detector to activate. The quality of daylight pictures is very good and the night quality is good as well.

The cameras must be plugged into an electrical outlet for power, that has nothing to do with them being able to record. The distance advertised is up to 500'. Without obstructions, maybe. Realistic, 150-200'. I added taller antennas on a couple of mine to improve performance

The camera works very well, and it will work good for about 1/4 to a half mile away. Hope this helps!!

Yes, but you should know its limitations. You will only be able to control the camera when it is facing you at a max range of about 10ft. If you want a longer range, get a rf remote shutter release.

Cameras are color not sure about range my furthest camera is probably around 90 feet

The product is very new to me, so I really do not know. I have the camera set to take photos rather than videos, and I have it set for 10 second intervals. I am getting pictures of wildlife, especially by night, and not many of birds and squirrels, etc. by day, (which I am glad of, as I would be getting hundreds of pictures - I think the camera is too far away from the birdfeeders). Anyway, I really don't know how fast the camera triggers.

I had the same question so I moved the camera around the house. So far, walking down hallways, etc., it works at about 70 feet. I am very pleased with that.

this cam; can maximize its range within 3-5 feet/ it can see the entire room... if you were pointing it directly at something; yes i can focus 1 foot or closer; but as the cam is placed firther away it can obviously see more and more and more and can maximize it range within 4-5 feet...

Not sure what the maximum distance would be, but I put the main panel in the middle of my house and the sensors are locate up to about 30' feet away. Not problem. Also, the sensor are separated by up to 2 walls (plasterboard interior walls) from the panel. Hope this helps.

Works pretty well. As long as the camera is clean. Distance would be about 20/25 feet.

Detection: Mine will detect movement at least 25' away. You can see in the photo an angled cutout on each side of the sensor; you would want to mount it so movement is within that unobstructed range.Light distribution: The bottom of the lens is clear, so light will be cast down as well as out 180 degrees.
