The Powerful Surveillance Camera

Whether used to observe nesting activities or for property surveillance - this camera can do it all. With an extremely fast shutter release of just 0.4 seconds, the MINOX DTC 550 and MINOX DTC 550 WiFi wildlife and surveillance cameras hardly miss a single thing. Additionally, you can record HD videos with sound at resolutions of up to 1080p.

At night, 42 black LEDs provide sufficient light to capture images. At a wavelength of 940 nm, they cannot be perceived by humans or animals, keeping the camera concealed at all times. Using the variably adjustable time-lapse function, you can easily document construction progress, plant growth and much more. An additional feature: the DTC 550 WiFi can deliver the images within a radius of 10 m directly to your smartphone via app.
