Frequently asked questions about wildlife cameras

Are wired or Wi-Fi-enabled wildlife cameras better?

Each type of camera has different benefits to meet your varied needs, so the best wildlife camera for you will depend on your unique preferences and circumstances.

Wi-Fi wildlife cameras allow you easy access to watch your garden via the exclusive Green Feathers app, wherever you are. Wired wildlife cameras, on the other hand, require you to connect your camera to a TV, monitor or computer in order to access the footage – perfect for a cosy night in, where you can really take in all the little visitors you have coming by. Therefore, a Wi-Fi-enabled garden camera may be best for someone always on the go, whereas the best camera for shooting wildlife in your garden may be a wired one if you prefer to sit down and watch on a big screen.

Plus, with wired vs wireless wildlife cameras, you also have to consider the strength of your Wi-Fi and whether you would be fine with having wires in your garden. If you don’t trust the strength of your Wi-Fi, especially over long distances, a wired wildlife camera could be a better option, but you would need a way to cover your outdoor wires (e.g. within waterproof plastic tubing) or bury them underground to prevent them from becoming damaged.

Our wildlife trail cameras give you the best of both worlds! They allow you to place your camera anywhere, with up to 6 months of battery life with just AA batteries, and collect at a later time. With infrared vision, you can capture day and night wildlife footage and then upload the content onto your computer to watch. Therefore, if you’re particularly interested in capturing footage of nocturnal animals like hedgehogs, a trail camera would be the best night camera for garden wildlife.

What is the difference between a wildlife camera and a security camera?

Security cameras often take 24-hour footage of the area and are much more obvious than wildlife cameras. They also need to be mounted high up, and usually connected to mains power. Alternatively, wildlife cameras are typically designed with motion detection instead, allowing you to capture key wildlife footage on a camera that blends into its surroundings – wherever you find best to place it. Plus, our wildlife trail cameras are battery-powered and have up to 6 months of battery life, so you won’t need to worry about connecting to any power cables at all. For the greatest flexibility and range, our trail cameras are the best wildlife cameras around.

Can I use a wildlife camera as a security camera?

Since trail cameras will capture footage when they sense movement, they can be used as security cameras on your property. However, if you want a camera that will capture footage 24/7, you may prefer a specialist security camera instead.

What’s the best camera for shooting wildlife?

If you want to capture wildlife footage at all times and without disturbing any natural behaviours, a wildlife trail camera is the best option. With this type of garden camera, you’ll be able to capture footage of animals in their natural habitat whilst also protecting their peace, which is very important for supporting the local environment.

What wildlife is common in a UK garden?

Along with the common grey squirrel and the domestic cat, most of the furry friends visiting our gardens are rather less obvious than visiting birds. Hedgehogs, badgers and red foxes are often nocturnal visitors popping into your garden on the hunt for food. However, you could expect others, such as the wood mouse, bank vole and common shrew (depending on your area), which are easily overlooked and small to notice.

Depending on where you live and the time of year, there could be a huge variety of different species visiting your garden without your knowledge. To discover more about these furry visitors and start learning how to protect the local environment in your area, start monitoring your garden today with one of our industry-leading wildlife trail cameras.
