FAQ

850nm vs 940nm — which should I pick?

Choose 850nm for longer range where faint glow is acceptable; choose 940nm for stealth‑critical sites with shorter distances.

How important is trigger speed?

Faster trigger (e.g., ≤0.4s) increases the chance of capturing fast wildlife at optimal framing—especially for hunting use.

Can I run without cloud service?

Yes—local SD/eMMC is fine for offline sites. Cloud adds remote access, backups, and AI, useful for fleets and security.

What storage setup is best?

Use high‑endurance SD plus periodic OTG offload for standalone; pair with cloud for cellular models requiring remote review.
