Wildlife Camera Trap - Ltl Acorn 6630MC with 30MP Images & HD Video Recording

The 66310MC is Ltl Acorn's latest garden wildlife camera offering, released in May 2023.  Our favourite manufacturer have continued to listen to customer feedback and have designed this new camera with a built in, forward facing screen for easy set up and positioning. 

It also uses the 18650 style batteries for much longer running time than most other wildife cameras.  The tripod or ground spike connection is now on the rear of the camera so that you can easily view the screen to check positioning after the camera has been fitted to the ground spike.  Just like the 8830MC, it has metal strap mounts on the rear of the camera too, these can be utilised if you want to mount it using the camera strap supplied and make this set up a little stronger and more robust when pulling tight to a tree or post.

It's packed with a 14 mega pixel image sensor, much higher quality than the 5MP sensors that most trail cams use.  This allows for the capture of high quality images and 1080P HD video at 1920x1080 resolution.  You can set the image capure quality at 30MP (using interpolation) or use the true 14MP setting (also available are lower settings of 10MP & 3MP).  Audio recording, a 0.8 second trigger time, IP68 weatherproof rating and time/date stamping are other quality features for this wildlife camera.

As usual with a Ltl Acorn camera, there are 3 recording modes:

• Camera: takes images only
• Video: records video only
• Cam+Video: takes an image first and then records a video clip

Battery Requirement - wildlife camera with long battery life...

6 x 18650 button top batteries. These need to be protected, button top cells rated at least 3000mA with at least a 5A instant discharge current capability.  We stock these batteries (and a charger for them) so do not worry if you do not have them.

Using 6 of the 18650 style batteries means that it’s possible to get incredible battery life from this trail camera, even over a year can be possible depending upon how "busy" the camera is, how much night-time recording it's doing and what video clip length you have it set to record etc.  The manufacturer specs this at up to 3 years running time but that would be with the camera almost constantly in low power consumption standby mode I would imagine, which is very unlikely in any real "in the field" application.  However, by using the 18650 batteries, this camera will outlast any other trail camera we've tested that uses standard AA batteries.

You can purchase these batteries with your camera right here on this page without needing to click around the website.  You'll see the option to choose the full bundle in the drop down menus before you can add the product to your basket.  The full bundle also includes a 32G Sandisk, Class 10, SD Card so you'll have everything you need to start recording the local wildlife!

3 Infrared versions to choose from...

The Ltl Acorn 6630MC comes in 3 different infrared night vision styles so you can choose the best type to suit your own application.

• Low Glow Infrared (850nm) – When in operation the infrared leds will give off a very dim red glow and so this may not be the best for covert locations when there is a possibility of theft of your camera.  However, this is the most powerful infrared type and will cover a greater distance than the “no glow” infrared (940nm) mentioned below.
• No Glow Infrared (940nm) – Very popular for more covert locations if you want to give your camera the best chance of remaining unnoticed at night.  Infrared strength of these 940nm leds is about 20-30% less than that of the 850nm and so your night vision footage may not be quite so bright.
• White Light – This is not actually infrared at all and, in fact, acts like a motion sensor security light.  When triggered the light will activate and this will allow the camera to record in full colour even at night.  Allows you to capture some amazing colour images and video at night but is, of course, not at all covert.  Does not seem to worry the animals as, especially in urban areas, they are often very used to night time lighting.  This version could also be used as a deterrent in security surveillance applications.

Other equipment available:

• Ground Spikes: for easy positioning of your camera if a tree or fence post is not available.
• Security Box: helps to make your camera a little more secure as well we offering a bit of extra shelter against the elements
• 18650 Rechargeable Batteries: make sure they are button top and regulated with a 3000mA output
• SD Card: always choose a Class 10 card from a recommended brand such as Sandisk
