When it comes to scouting game and monitoring property, a capable trail camera can make all the difference between guessing and knowing. The Ridgeline 4K Digital Trail Camera delivers serious performance in a compact, field-ready package, combining a 24MP still image resolution with genuine 4K video capture to give you the clearest possible picture of what is moving through your area. With a lightning-fast 0.4-second trigger time and IP66-rated weather protection, this camera is built to catch fast-moving animals in all conditions without missing a beat. Whether you are running a scouting network across a large property or dropping a single camera on a well-worn game trail, this unit has the specs to back it up. Ridgeline 4K Digital Trail Camera Key Features Image Resolution: Captures stills at up to 24MP, delivering sharp, detailed images that make it easy to identify animals, antler size, or pest species even at distance. Note that the on-board CMOS sensor is 4.0MP, with interpolation used to achieve the maximum 24MP output. 4K Video with Audio: Records video at 4K resolution at 10fps, with a built-in microphone and speaker for audio capture. Video length is fully programmable from 3 seconds up to 10 minutes per clip, giving you flexibility based on your monitoring goals. 0.4-Second Trigger Speed: The PIR (passive infrared) motion sensor activates the camera in just 0.4 seconds, minimising the chance of an animal moving through the frame before the shutter fires. 36-Piece 850nm Black IR LED Flash: Low-glow 850nm infrared LEDs provide covert night illumination with an effective night vision range of up to 20m (approximately 65ft), reducing the chance of spooking wary animals compared to white flash units. IP66 Weather Protection: Rated IP66, meaning the camera is fully protected against dust ingress and powerful water jets from any direction. This makes it reliable year-round across Australian conditions from wet tropics to alpine environments. Operating Temperature Range: Functions reliably between -20°C and +60°C, covering everything from cold winter nights in the high country to hot summer days in arid and semi-arid regions. 8-Month Standby Battery Life: Powered by 8 x AA batteries, the camera is rated for up to 8 months of standby time, with a capacity for more than 30,000 daytime photos or more than 12,000 night photos per battery set. An optional external 7.4V 2,500mAh power supply is also supported for fixed, long-term deployments. 2.0" TFT LCD Colour Display: The built-in 2.0" (5.08cm) colour screen lets you review images and configure settings in the field without needing a separate device. Up to 128GB SD Card Support: Compatible with SD cards up to 128GB, allowing extended deployment periods before card retrieval is necessary. Connected via Mini USB 2.0 for direct PC access. Time Lapse Mode: Programmable time lapse function from 5 seconds up to 24-hour intervals, useful for monitoring feeders, water points, or trail intersections over extended periods independent of motion triggers. Programmable Trigger Interval: Set the delay between trigger events from 5 seconds up to 60 minutes, helping to manage memory card and battery usage on high-traffic locations. Time Stamp and Data Overlay: Optional on-screen data stamping includes date, time, serial number, ambient temperature, and moon phase, giving you useful contextual information directly embedded in each image. Compact Dimensions: At 135 x 83 x 52mm, this is a genuinely slim and low-profile unit that is easy to mount discreetly on trees, posts, or stands without drawing attention. Security Features: Supports a 4-digit password lock and optional physical locking, providing a level of protection against unauthorised access or theft in the field. The Ridgeline 4K Digital Trail Camera is a well-rounded scouting tool that punches above its weight for the serious hunter or land manager. Its combination of fast trigger response, covert low-glow IR, extended battery life, and rugged IP66 construction makes it a reliable choice for year-round deployment across a wide range of Australian environments and applications.
