Designed for avid wildlife watchers and general nature enthusiasts, the ZEISS Secacam 1 trail camera combines reliable imaging, smart connectivity, and rugged durability to help you observe mammals and birds in their natural habitat without disturbance. If you've wondered what foxes, deer, badgers, or nocturnal species get up to while you are sleeping or away, the Secacam 1 will ensure you capture every detail, day or night.
If you haven’t tried a trail camera before, here are a few helpful pointers on the new Secacam 1.
Dependable Imaging — Day & Night
The Secacam 1 delivers crisp, high-contrast photos and video with a 3 MP sensor (up to 24 MP interpolated). Its highly light-sensitive sensor and 60 invisible 940 nm infrared LEDs illuminate scenes even in complete darkness, helping you capture sharp stills in wide 16:9 format that are ideal for viewing on mobile devices.
Ready to Use Straight Out of the Box
Equipped with 32 GB of internal memory and an integrated multi-roaming LTE SIM card, the camera is ready for immediate deployment — no extra storage cards or complex configuration required. A large 2.4-inch colour display gives clear previews, while the TEST button simplifies alignment and setup in the field.
Smart Connectivity & App Control
Seamlessly connect to the ZEISS Secacam App to manage your camera remotely, review captures, check battery status, and monitor location via GPS. The multi-network LTE module automatically selects the strongest available network across much of Europe, maintaining reliable data transfer.
Fast, Reliable Detection
A responsive motion sensor detects wildlife movement with impressive speed (0.35 – 0.45 seconds), minimising motion blur and ensuring that fleeting moments aren’t missed. During triggering, the camera intelligently adjusts flash strength to reduce energy use and avoid startling animals.
Built for the Outdoors
With rugged construction, high-precision sealing, and an operating range from –20 °C to +55 °C, Secacam 1 thrives in challenging environments — rain, heat, or frost won’t slow it down. Battery maintenance is simple thanks to a removable battery magazine compatible with standard AA batteries.
