Fototrap Bunaty Full HD without GSM

Fotopast Bunaty Full HD is a reasonably priced choice among large and small trail cameras. At night the camera can, under ideal conditions, illuminate the scene with an invisible (IR) flash with a range of 25 metres. The resulting photos are captured at a maximum resolution of up to 12 MPx and video in Full HD. The camera stores data (photo and video) on an SD card with a maximum capacity of 32 GB. Once the maximum capacity of the inserted SD card is reached, the camera will either stop recording or will overwrite old recordings.

The trail camera is powered by eight AA batteries (8xAA). You can also power it from an external source. The input for the external connector is located on the bottom of the camera. Many competitors illogically place the connector on the top, which very often leads to moisture getting into the electronics. The camera can be switched to three different modes: off, on and test. The first two are clear — camera off and camera on. In test mode you can set everything according to your requirements. Another advantage is the 3D camouflage and the minimum of shiny surfaces, which makes the camera easy to conceal.

The biggest advantage of this camera is the relatively large colour LCD display and six clearly labelled buttons, which are located inside the metal protective housing. These two elements significantly simplify setting the various functions of the camera. Another major plus is the clear Czech menu. The LCD display is also a great help when positioning the camera itself. You don’t have to wait a long time for the first shot just to find out you managed to photograph only the thief’s legs. You will see the final view immediately after switching to the on mode. For 45 seconds the display shows exactly what the lens is capturing. During this time you must position the camera.

In the menu you can set quite a lot of different functions. The camera will capture one, two or up to three images in quick succession. You can also set the length of the recorded video from a few seconds up to ten minutes. Keep in mind that the longer the video, the more space it takes up on the SD card. Unlike some competing models, you can record video also with sound. If you thoroughly go through the menu, you will find that you can also set the motion sensor sensitivity and the IR illumination level.

Particularly noteworthy is the recording interval, i.e. the time between individual shots. So if you set five minutes and the sensor detects movement for 14 minutes, it will take three photos. The camera can also be used for time‑lapse. Alternatively, you can set it to be active only at night. You can even password‑protect the camera to prevent unauthorised access.
