TRIGGERCAM 2.1 SCOPECAM

Description

TRIGGERCAM 2.1 SCOPECAM

The TriggerCam 2.1 ScopeCam stands out from its competitors by literally NOT standing out! It addresses the main problem of rear add-ons, which is “space-saving”. This fully integrated unit is compact, using an internal prism to allow the beam to transit directly from the ocular lens to the eye. Furthermore, an upper camera shares the view to record stills or video footage. Output recorded video is superb and the unit is so easy to operate.

The box contains eight collars to shim the Trigger Cam securely over the ocular body. Once forward to its inner ‘stop’, the left side Allen screw tightens with the supplied key, locking the position securely. A long hold on the front left side button turns the unit on and a similar hold on the rear button engages its Wi-Fi, so you can pair a phone or tablet to live-stream footage. At this stage, you can align the camera before fully tightening it in place, making sure the reticle will appear level on later video footage.

Nothing interrupts your field of view regardless of whether the unit is turned on or off. You get a USB-C charging cable, which plugs in under the upper screwed cap for which the tool offers a polymer key. Trigger Cam supplies a quality SanDisk 32Gb Micro SD card for reliable storage, unlike other competitors. Rearmost on the upper body, a screwcap conceals the reticle focus dial, again, for use when setting up with Wi-Fi initiated, so you get a live view of what the camera is seeing. This toothed dial rotates until you get the picture sharp. Experts suggest doing it mid-point of the scope’s magnification range, because eye relief varies through zoom, making the mid-point a good compromise.

Performance and Functions

Video resolutions of 4k, 2.5k, 1080 or 720 are available at various frame rates. 720 will go as high as 200 frames per second, which although slightly lower quality, means you can slow the film down more smoothly in postproduction to capture bullet trace and/ or quarry reaction detail. You can also capture stills from 3-16 megapixels.

For indoor use, you can select lighting frequency to eliminate flickering. TV format for playback between PAL or NTSC is available, as well as quick recording functions, timestamp and TV-out capability using the upper cable socket. With the cap off, you can run the unit with a backup battery plugged into the USB-C port. You can turn audible beeps on/ off as well as a recording reminder. Shooters really appreciate the auto-sleep function for minimising battery use and a timed full shutdown to save battery.

For the more photographically minded, ISO control (film sensitivity) can be set on automatic or manually chosen from 100 to 1600 (the lowest offering the greatest picture quality in good light and the highest giving weaker light capability at the expense of a slightly grainier image). White balance is also offered to accommodate sunny or overcast conditions.

The low power alarm offers a soft warning beep and if you are particularly careless, you can automatically set the unit bleeping over Wi-Fi to remind you of where it (and the rifle) physically are. Beware though, your phone and specifically the camera will use more battery power with Wi-Fi permanently running. The remaining battery/SD card capacity is displayed and all can be automatically set to synchronise the time and date for the stamp. This TriggerCam’s face incorporates a microphone to record all sound alongside the video.

TriggerCam App

The app is available on iOS or Android and is mandatory for setup and alignment, but not in day to day use. Simply turn the unit on and press record on the left side buttons when out shooting. For the more adventurous, you can initiate the app and control the camera in real-time and it is also used for more complex setup and options. Tiny LEDs adjacent to either button in blue, red, green and orange illuminate or pulse to signify functions and warnings. The instructions are well written and after a few goes, you soon appreciate the simplicity of operation without a phone, but when you do use it, the options are extensive. See the bottom of this page for download options.
