Bluetooth trail camera, ultra high definition video...

Ltl Acorn have broken barriers with their latest trail camera.  The 6210 ULTRA trail camera offers the best video & image quality, day and night, of any wildlife camera we've have seen at this price point.  Featuring crystal clear 4K UHD (ultra high definition) video recording quality and six high performance infrared leds for optimum brightness when recording in darkness.  It can capture 32MP images too.

The 6210 ULTRA does not have a built in screen, all set up is done from your smart phone (apple or android) via a wireless bluetooth connection.  Therefore you you can check in live and see what the camera is seeing, and make settings changes without needing to disturb the camera at all.  The wireless connection feature is perfect for setting up and making sure you have the camera in the right location and at the correct angle too.  It also means that you can check recorded footage just by standing nearby the camera with your phone handset, rather than having to move the camera or retrieve the memory card.  You can delete any clips or images that you do not need if you want to and you can download the ones that you want to keep straight to your phone!

Of course, you can still just retrieve the SD card from the camera and playback on your laptop in the traditional way should you prefer to (most customers prefer to use the camera in this way and only connect wirelessly on their phone for initial set up & positioning).

Very simple to use:

• Flick the on/off/test switch into TEST mode
• Strap the camera to a tree or post, or use one of our ground spikes
• Connect with your phone to choose settings and check camera angle
• Move the on/off/test switch into ON mode
• Walk away and leave your camera to record any visiiting wildlife or intruders

You can choose from 3 different night vision camera styles:

• 950nm - no glow infrared, ideal for covert surveillance, or in areas where the camera may be open to theft.
• 850nm - low glow infrared, more powerful than the "no glow" so can record get brighter/better night vision footage.
• white light - illuminates the location like a security light when triggered, allowing full colour night time recording.

A note about 950nm infrared:  Ltl Acorn now use the 950nm no glow infrared frequency for the 6210 ULTRA.  950nm IR is a little more powerful than the older 940nm no glow frequency that you'll find many trail cameras using.  This means, with a 950nm infrared trail camera, you get brighter night vision footage of the local wildlife but your camera can still remain unnoticed by us humans!

High definition wildlife recording...

The quality of the recorded video and images that the 6210 ULTRA is capable of is second to none.  4K UHD Video & 32MP Images, with crisp audio recording too but the specifications themselves do not do this camera justice, many manufacturers quote high specs so take a look at the actual recorded footage and you'll see why the 6210 ULTRA comes out on top.

You can set the camera to capture an image, record a video or both whenever triggered.  There's a timelapse mode if you wanted the camera to make a recording every X number of minutes/hours (you can have this set up alongside motion triggering so you get both).  There is also the option to record a "burst" of up to 3 images when triggered too.

All recorded videos and images will be time & date stamped, giving you a record of exactly when your clips or pictures were captured.

Wildlife camera with Bluetooth connection - live video view, check recordings & change settings on your phone or tablet!

With the added benefit of the camera having Bluetooth, you do not need to disturb the camera at all.  Just get youself nearby and you can review recorded footage on your phone or tablet via the Ltl Acorn app.  Furthermore, having the Bluetooth feature also means that this wildlife camera is so much easier to position, you can have a look at the live preview and adjust the angle there and then.  No more trial and error, recording, checking the images and then adjusting.

Remember, you do not have to have the camera within range of a router, you just need to be close by it with your phone to be able to access the live view, see recordings and change settings in the camera menu.

So just standing somewhere near the camera (Bluetooth range is usually within about 5m) will allow you access to do the following:

• View live video
• View recorded images & video
• Download recorded images & video to your phone or tablet
• Access the camera menu and change settings
• Check estimated battery life

Can I have the camera in my garden and watch live video from inside my house?

Depending upon the position of your camera, it is possible that you may be able to stand/sit inside your home and connect even when the camera is located in your garden.  You would likely need to still be very close for this sort of "inside to outside" connection, so with the camera located just outside a window etc and you just inside that same window/external wall - you're very unlikely to get conneciton with the camera 5m-6m down the garden and you sitting in your front room for example.

Connection is always dependent upon distance, obstructions and weather conditions etc.  Up to around 5m is the usual maximum range you could expect but this will be dependent upon walls and other signal obstructions, every signal obstruction will reduce the wireless range.

Current battery level will also play a massive part in the quality and stability of any wireless connection to the camera.

Do I have to use the Bluetooth connection?  Can I just use this camera as a standard trail camera?

You need the Bluetooth connection to access the camera menu and choose your settings etc.  This connection is very simple and can be done when the camera is in TEST mode.  Just sit next to the camera with your phone, connection then takes seconds and is explained step by step in our own instruction sheets.  Once you've chosen your settings, flick the camera switch into ON mode and it is ready to start recording whenever triggered.

After that is done, you don't have to connect wirelessly to the camera at all if you don't want to.  You could go to the camera location, switch it off and retrieve the SD card for playback on your laptop or desktop computer, just as you would with any standard trail cam.

Powering the Bluetooth trail camera, which batteries do I need?

The Ltl Acorn 6210 ULTRA requires 12 x 1.5v AA batteries, as always we only recommend Energizer Ultimate Lithium 1.5v AA if you plan to use dispoable batteries.  If you want to use rechargeables then the olny 1.5v litium rechargeable AA that we know of is the XTAR Lithium 2700mA (requires a Lithium AA charger, a standard AA charger will not charge Lithium batteries).

As power gets low then the connection will become less stable and reliable, that it why your choice of batteries is so important.

Please note, 1.2v rechargeable batteries are not powerful enough to run this camera.  Your camera may work at times but the wireless connection will break down and is likely to be unstable.  It is therefore strongly recommended that you use only genuine XTAR 2700mA 1.5v Lithium Rechargeables or Energizer Ultimate Lithium 1.5v batteries.

With a 12 AA battery capacity the 6210 ULTRA has excellent running time and can sit in standby mode for months if it's not a busy location.  The more it's recording and the more you're connecting wirelessly with your phone, the higher the power consumption and the sooner you will need to change the batteries.

If you purchase the "full bundle" you will receive the recommended Energizer Ultimate Lithium 1.5v non-rechargeable batteries and a 32G SD card with your trail camera.  This is everything you will need to start using the camera right away.

How can I extend my trail camera battery life?

Which type of memory card do I need?

To fit in line with the long running time available, the camera can accept SD cards of up to 256G capacity.  This may be more than is required in many situations, especially if you're checking and/or downloading images regularly but if you need to leave the camera in the field for longer periods, then a higher capacity SD card could be vital to avoid missing important footage.  You don't want your camera to have plenty of power left but no storage space for recordings!

If you purchase the "full bundle" you will receive the recommended Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries and a 32G SD card.  So you can use the camera right away.

An easy to use trail camera with easy to understand instructions..

The Ltl Acorn 6210 ULTRA is easy to use and deploy.  We suppy with our own instructions written here in the UK by us (in fact, by me!) so you don't have to worry about trying to translate manufacturer instructions or wade through lots of technical jargon.  My instructions will walk you step by step through things like connecting to the trail cam with your phone and the various menu settings within the app etc.

Is there an encrypted version of this trail camera available?

Yes, there is.  This is useful for local authorities and local councils etc.  If the camera, memory card or both are ever stolen, the thief would not be able to play back any recorded footage or images without the decryption program.  If you require the encrypted version then please just let us know.
