Covert Scouting Cameras 2977 Overview

Capture 8MP photos and 640x480 video of wildlife or trespassers with the MP8 Digital Trail Camera in Mossy Oak Country camouflage from Covert Scouting Cameras. Its passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor captures images when triggered by subject movement, and a 0.9-sec trigger speed helps ensure you won't miss the shot.

The camera can also function in time-lapse mode, capturing images at scheduled intervals for the creation of a video showing change over a given duration. While in this mode, its motion sensor will still be triggered to capture shots when movement occurs as long as it is on--so even if it's in between scheduled time-lapse shots, your camera won't miss an opportunity to snag a great image. The MP8's built-in, 28-LED infrared flash enables bright after-dark images while remaining discreet so as not to spook or alert animals or other people. Additionally, a 1" color LCD monitor enables convenient viewing and selection of settings and modes, while a Mini-USB port allows for connection to a computer or TV to see captured images.

The trail camera records photos and videos to optional SDHC memory cards up to 32GB. Power is provided by 4-8 user-supplied AA batteries or an external battery connected to the camera's auxiliary power jack.

Photo and Video Capture
  • Maximum photo resolution of 8MP
  • Other available resolutions: 3MP and 5MP
  • Records 640x480 or 320x240 video
  • If you only want camera to be active during part of day or night, you can set Start-Stop function
  • You can also take a photo manually at the push of a button if you see an opportunity while holding camera in your hands
Motion Sensor
  • Passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor captures images when triggered by subject movement
  • Detects changes in temperature that occur when subjects move, and triggers camera for shooting in response
  • 0.9-sec trigger speed helps ensure camera won't miss shots
  • Adjustable sensitivity: low, normal, and high settings
  • Photo Burst Mode: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 shots captured in quick succession each time PIR sensor triggered
  • Selectable options for how often camera can be triggered to capture an image: 5-60 sec in 5-sec increments, and 1-60 min
Time-Lapse Recording
  • Captures scheduled shots at regular intervals, allowing you to stitch them together into a video showing change over time
  • Selectable intervals: 5-60 sec in 5-sec increments, 2-60 min, and 1-8 h
  • Can be active at same time as motion trigger, so even if it's in between scheduled time-lapse shots, camera won't miss opportunity to get a great image
Flash
  • Built-in, 28-LED infrared flash
  • Enables bright after-dark images while remaining discreet so as not to spook or alert animals or other people
Setup, Display, and Options

  • Moon phase also helps determine if brighter or darker backgrounds in images are due to fullness of moon
  • Set a password to prevent unauthorized access to your camera
