Wildlife cameras have proven themselves a very handy tool to monitor exact game populations and their behavior. With the MINOX DTC wildlife cameras you can literally track wildlife at all times and around the clock. Discreet, intelligent and efficient, they are an extremely helpful and efficient tool for any situation.

The new MINOX DTC 600 innovatively expands the present range of use – the black IR-filter in front of the flash reduces the wavelength strong enough to make it com-pletely invisible to wildlife. Also invisible to the human eye, the DTC 600 is an ideal tool for protecting property and for personal safety. The intelligently designed and integrated IR-sensor allows for greater flexibility and efficiency while documenting activity in the area. The sensitivity of the IR-sensor can be individually adjusted to exclude the recording of unwanted movements caused by twigs, grasses, and other irrelevant objects.

MINOX has expanded the capabilities of the current DTC 600 Trail Camera. With the new and innovative MINOX DTC 1000, you can monitor your property from anywhere in the world - that is, if you have your cell phone with you and have access to your emails. With its built-in wireless module, the MINOX DTC 1000 is capable of simultaneously sending the recorded images or videos directly to your cell phone or PC. Your advantages: You save time. And you can immediately react to the situation as seen on camera.

Thanks to its innovative GSM function, the DTC 1000 also makes the perfect surveillance camera for outdoor areas such as your home, yard and garden, cabins, corporate buildings, boats and ships.

Your advantage: You can save valuable time to raise alarm or possibly get help. Now integrated into the DTC 1000 is audio recording while in video mode.
