Oberkochen, Germany | 15 November 2023 | ZEISS Consumer Products

Based on the acquisition of the Secacam brand announced in June, ZEISS is now presenting the ZEISS Secacam 5 and ZEISS Secacam 7, its first own trail cameras, to the market. The trail cameras impress with their outstanding image quality, weather-resistant technology, simple setup and operation, and extensive network coverage in the field.

Best-in-class image quality – due to the newest photo technology

"Our environment is full of surprises. Many of them happen without our being able to perceive them. Wildlife shows itself most naturally in human absence. Trail cameras provide a previously hidden insight into the habitats and retreats of birds and other wildlife. Whether for regular monitoring of populations or for observing feeding and nesting sites - the areas of application are versatile," states Sebastian Doentgen, Head of Category Management, Marketing, Sales & Service at ZEISS. In order to be able to clearly identify animals, the recording quality of a trail camera is crucial. This poses a challenge, especially at night. Thanks to the infrared flash of the 60 Black LEDs, which is invisible to humans and animals, intelligent lighting regulation and the particularly light-intensive photo sensor with an extreme fast trigger speed, ZEISS trail cameras record sharp, detailed and optimally illuminated photos and videos both during the day and in complete darkness.

High-quality manufacturing in the usual ZEISS quality

"With our many years of experience in the development of high-quality and robust outdoor devices and demanding test procedures, we are setting new standards in the quality and durability of trail cameras," says Doentgen. The weather- and water-resistant housings of the ZEISS Secacam 5 and 7 and the perfect matching of components, such as the motion detector, photo sensor or transmitter module, guarantee excellent yet extremely energy-saving wildlife cameras - even under demanding conditions.

Simple and easy operation

"The installation of a trail camera should be as quick and uncomplicated as possible. With the ZEISS Secacam 5 and 7, we placed particular focus on this," reports Doentgen. "Thanks to the effortless and simple setup, the ZEISS trail camera is immediately ready for use." Large buttons with backlighting allow easy operation, even in the dark and cold. With the 50 x 40 mm color display, captured images and videos can be viewed and reviewed in high quality. Numerous mounting options provide the right option for any environment.

Nature is just a click away – with optimized network coverage

Thanks to the reliable transmission capability and extensive network coverage in Europe, the ZEISS wildlife cameras allow a view of nature at all times, even in difficult network conditions. The modern LTE module with integrated ZEISS multi-roaming SIM card can dial into networks from a wide range of providers and automatically selects the best network available at the installation location. This means that all recorded images and videos can be accessed at any time on the mobile device via the ZEISS Secacam app using monthly data plans or prepaid service. Additional features, such as remote control or animal detection, are available in accordance with the three-tier and flexibly adaptable service plans.
