Reliable App-Connectivity

The ZEISS Secacam App not only lets you manage your trail camera, but also share it with your contacts. You can also check camera status data like the battery level at any time, check the location of the camera on a map, or view your best shots in the gallery.

Simple maintenance

Low-power data processing ensures that the camera can remain in use for a long time. And when the batteries do run out, you can replace them quickly and easily thanks to the battery magazine.

Fast trigger speed

The highly sensitive motion sensor precisely detects animal movements. The fast triggering time (< 0.35 ~ 0.45 seconds) of the ZEISS Secacam results in minimal motion blur for easier response. During triggering, the trail camera automatically adjusts the strength of the flash, which is invisible to animals and humans. This prevents incorrect exposures and minimizes energy consumption.

IP66 Tested

ZEISS trail cameras are designed for extreme weather, with a high-precision seal and rugged housing that protect against water, rain, hail, heat, and snow, ensuring reliable performance in all conditions.

European data protection standards

The heart of ZEISS Secacams is the software developed in Germany. Intuitive user interfaces, advanced features and seamless connectivity make your ZEISS trail camera a truly exceptional experience. All your data is stored in our own ZEISS cloud and is thus subject to strict EU data protection regulations, your personal information and camera data is thus optimally protected from unauthorized access or misuse.

Receive videos at low cost

Available from the Premium plan

The videos are recorded at up to 30 fps (frames per second) and saved in mp4 format. We recommend 720p resolution. Although the 1080p resolution might result in a partially improved video quality, the video files will be larger and, accordingly, require much more space on the memory card. Sent videos are limited in resolution and recording length (480p | 10 seconds) and do not depend on the device settings in the menu.

Advanced species-recognition

Available from the Premium plan

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based trail camera animal recognition is an advanced technology that allows you to automatically identify and classify animals in images. The images are then displayed sorted in the app gallery.

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.

Why does the Secacam 3 no longer have an SD card, and how do I retrieve the data from the camera?

The ZEISS Secacam 3 no longer uses an SD card for storage but offers a user-friendly way to transfer your images and videos via a USB-C port. If you want to manually copy your media to an external device, simply connect a USB-C stick (formatted in FAT32) to the USB-C port on the bottom of the ZEISS Secacam 3 and select the "USB Transfer" menu option. You have three different transfer methods available:

Folder Selection: The ZEISS Secacam 3 will display the media folders available on the camera's internal memory. The camera automatically creates a new folder after 1,000 captured media items, which are sorted by the date of capture. Navigate using the arrow keys to the desired folders, mark them for download with the "PLAY" button, and start the download with the "OK" button. Wait for the download to complete and then remove the stick.
Date Selection: Use the arrow keys to select a time period and confirm your choice with the "OK" button. All images and videos captured during this period will now be transferred to the USB-C stick. Wait for the download to complete and then remove the stick.
All Folders: If you choose this download method, all data from the camera's internal memory will be transferred to the USB-C stick. Please note that this can be very time-consuming.

WARNING!
The more data you copy at once from the internal memory of the ZEISS Secacam 3 to an external device, the longer the copying process will take.

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.

What are the differences between the respective service plans?

Attractive and fair price structures are available for the ZEISS Secacams 5 & 7. You can choose between a prepaid service and various service plans that you can cancel monthly without any conditions. Prepaid credit plans are also available to top up an existing subscription. Several cameras can access purchased credits, as they are credited to each user account.

Is there a price saving if I have several cameras in operation?

What are the optimum recording ranges for the different ZEISS Secacam models?

The optimum recording range is determined mainly but not exclusively by the field of view of a trail camera. The Secacam 5 and 7 have 60° while the Secacam 5 Wide-Angle features a 100° field of view. For general wildlife observation, a range of 5-15m is usually optimal. For nesting or feeding ground monitoring purposes, a shorter range between 0,35-5m proofs sufficient.
