REFLEX

A nocturnal wildlife camera trap designed specifically for recording bat roosts in trees. The camera trap detects ultra-fast motion events at night and records bats emerging and re-entering from tree roosts.

Videos

Sample videos recorded on the camera can be viewed on the REFLEX youtube channel. Although the system remains the same the camera has been upgraded since many of these recordings, only the latest videos 'Daubenton's in Beech' and 'Noctule exploring box in winter' are recorded on the latest camera:

I am currently only producing and selling small batches of cameras at a time. Please contact me directly using the form below for stock inquiries and ordering. If stock is not available, it will take two months to supply, assemble and ship a unit.

Setup

Battery

The system runs on a 12v battery which must be bought seperately. For stability the battery should be rated for at least 5 amps. The system can run on any battery chemistry which gives great flexibility, a very basic chemistry comparison is provided below:

The system run time is dependent on the capacity (ampHours) of the battery and camera settings. The number of nights it is possible to record will be dependent on the battery temperature, night length and settings. Higher battery capacities mean the battery will weigh more. During testing an 11kg battery seems to be a good compromise between allowing navigation of a woodland with the battery in a backpack and a good system run time. Enter the amp hours below to estimate the run time for the system set at 30FPS:
