Security case for Core S 4K Trail Camera

Quick Answer: The Security case for Core S 4K Trail Camera is a rigid box, pictured in brown, that encloses the camera with openings at the front for the lens, motion sensor and infrared flash. This trail camera security case is fixed to a tree or post so the camera is harder to steal, open or damage during unattended fieldwork.

Protecting a Camera Left Outdoors

Trail cameras spend days or weeks unattended, often in places the public can reach. A security case wraps the camera in a rigid shell so it cannot simply be unclipped and carried away, and the camera door and battery compartment cannot be opened without removing the case. Cases of this style are usually closed with a padlock through a hasp or eyelet and fixed to a tree with a strap, screws or a cable lock.

The openings at the front line up with the camera’s lens, motion sensor and infrared LEDs, so the case does not block images or detection. Because those openings must match exactly, security cases are made for particular models; this one is titled for the Core S 4K, the same model as the Bushnell Core S 4K no Glow Trail Camera in this range. Confirm the fit with your camera when ordering.

A case also shields the camera from curious animals. Large mammals, monkeys and livestock can knock, bite or chew an exposed camera. Passing the PYTHON Security Cable through the case gives a second, adjustable anchor around the tree.

Specifications

When a Security Case Is Worth Using

• Long camera-trap surveys on public land or near footpaths
• Sites with livestock, monkeys or other animals that investigate equipment
• Student projects where cameras are left out between weekly visits
• Protecting the camera from knocks by wind-blown branches

Care & Handling

• Check that the camera sits squarely in the case and that the lens and sensor are not partly covered by its edges.
• Tighten fixings firmly without crushing the camera housing or damaging the tree more than necessary.
• Keep a spare padlock key, or note the combination, with the survey records.
• Inspect the case for rust or bent edges after each deployment, and dry it before storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the security case affect image quality?

No, provided the camera is seated correctly, since the case has openings in front of the lens, sensor and infrared LEDs. Take a test shot after fitting to check that no edge of the case appears in the frame.

Will this case fit other trail cameras?

Security cases are shaped around specific models, so the openings only line up with the camera they were made for. This case is titled for the Core S 4K; check the fit before using it with anything else.

How is the case attached to a tree?

Most cases take a strap through slots at the back, and many also accept screws or a cable lock. For the most secure fixing, combine a strap with a cable lock passed around the trunk and through the case.

Does a security case stop all theft?

No case makes theft impossible, but it slows a thief down and makes casual removal much harder. A discreet site, a no-glow camera and a cable lock together reduce the risk further.

Can animals damage a camera inside the case?

The rigid shell resists knocks, bites and scratches that could crack an exposed camera or its screen. Very large animals can still shift a poorly fixed case, so tighten the fixings firmly.

Does the case need maintenance?

Brush off debris, dry it after wet deployments and touch up scratches in the finish to slow rust if the case is metal. Check that the hinge and closure still line up before each survey.
