Frequently Asked Questions
ZEISS Trail Cameras
What are the differences between the ZEISS Secacam 5 and the ZEISS Secacam 7?
Excellent image quality, reliable transmission and high-quality workmanship unite the two ZEISS trail camera models. The ZEISS Secacam 5 is particularly impressive due to its compact size and low weight. This makes it easy and flexible to use as well as easier to hide and camouflage. The ZEISS Secacam 7, on the other hand, is characterized by its convenient operation and installation. The lens is placed above the front flap, allowing you to check the field of view directly in the display when mounting the camera. With its own battery magazine, batteries can be replaced conveniently and quickly without having to disassemble the camera.
How are the images taken by the trail camera transmitted to my mobile phone?
With the ZEISS Secacam 5 and ZEISS Secacam 7 4G-enabled trail cameras, you receive your recorded images and videos directly on your mobile phone via the ZEISS Secacam app. With conventional models, the storage media e.g. the SD card must be collected manually and evaluated on a PC, for example. Thanks to the modern LTE module with integrated multi-roaming SIM card, the camera can dial into the mobile networks of a wide range of providers and automatically selects the best network available at the location where it is installed. In this way, the images are transmitted directly to your end device via the mobile network without additional roaming charges. With the ZEISS Secacam app, you can view your images clearly in the gallery on your device, activate direct notifications, set profiles and much more.
