As trail camera technology has evolved in recent years as has the accessibility to tools like the Encounter 2.0 26-Megapixel Cellular Trail Camera from Wildgame Innovations – a device that adds high-quality high-definition 26-megapixel images and 720p HD videos (without audio) to a downloadable app in real time. Captures subjects as far as 80 ft. away with the help of four 850nm infrared LEDs and less than half-second trigger speed. Images are delivered in 16:9 ratio format to Wildgame Innovations’ HuntSmart App for easy viewing.

The HuntSmart app’s Artificial Intelligence Management (AIM) System organizes and analyzes the captures to provide information on species geolocation and much more. Setup is done quickly via QR code. Best of all it’s absolutely free to download on any iOS or Android device.

Camera is powered by 8 AA Batteries (Not included) or a 12-volt DC jack compatible with solar power panels (not included) for consistent reliable operation. Adjustable tree strap included. Cable-lock ready latch (security accessories not included) helps deter theft. Cellular functionality is compatible with Verizon wireless and operational anywhere cell service is available in the U.S. or Canada.
