ZEISS Secacam 5

The compact observer.

The trail cameras from ZEISS provide you with an insight into the hunting area through detailed and high-contrast images. Thanks to the infrared flash with 60 black LEDs and the extremely light-sensitive photo sensor, the ZEISS Secacam trail cameras manage to record sharp, excellently illuminated photos and videos even in complete darkness.

The compact design and light weight of the ZEISS Secacam 5 allow you to mount the camera in tight spots, trees, bushes or other inaccessible places. This allows it to be used in different types of terrain and habitats.

Attractive and fair price structures are available for the ZEISS Secacams 5 & 7. You can choose between a prepaid service and various service packages that you can cancel monthly. No contracts, no hidden fees, no fine print.

Reliable App-Connectivity

The ZEISS Secacam App not only lets you manage your wildlife camera, but also share it with your contacts. You can also check camera status data like the battery level at any time, check the location of the camera on a map, or view your best shots in the gallery.

Built to withstand the elements

ZEISS trail cameras demonstrate their best-in-class quality particularly in the toughest weather conditions – the high-precision seal protects the wildlife cameras from water and the rugged housing even withstands pouring rain and hail. Even heat and snowfall won’t affect the functionality of the wildlife cameras. 

Fast trigger speed

The highly sensitive motion sensor precisely detects animal movements. The fast triggering time (< 0.35 ~ 0.45 seconds) of the ZEISS Secacam results in minimal motion blur for easier response. During triggering, the trail camera automatically adjusts the strength of the flash, which is invisible to animals and humans. This prevents incorrect exposures and minimizes energy consumption.

Small and compact

The small size of this trail camera makes it a flexible hunting helper; there is always room for the ZEISS Secacam 5. Thanks to its low weight, it can be transported more easily and used flexibly - even on smaller objects.

European data protection standards

The heart of ZEISS Secacams is the software developed in Germany. Intuitive user interfaces, advanced features and seamless connectivity make your ZEISS trail camera a truly exceptional experience. All your data is stored in our own ZEISS cloud technology and and is thus subject to strict EU data protection regulations, your personal information and camera data is thus optimally protected from unauthorized access or misuse.

Service Plans

No strings attached — Monthly cancelation possible

Attractive and fair price structures are available for the ZEISS Secacams 5 & 7. You can choose between a prepaid service and various service packages that you can cancel monthly without any strings attached. Depending on the service package, you have access to a more comprehensive range of services and features.

Remote control of the camera

Available from the Basic plan

Remote control or configurability via app allows you to control your ZEISS Secacam from the comfort of your home and adjust settings such as image quality.

Receive videos at low cost

Available from the Premium plan

The videos are recorded at up to 30 fps (frames per second) and saved in mp4 format. We recommend 720p resolution. Although the 1080p resolution might result in a partially improved video quality, the video files will be larger and, accordingly, require much more space on the memory card. Sent videos are limited in resolution and recording length  (480p | 10 seconds) and do not depend on the device settings in the menu.

Advanced species-recognition

Available from the Premium plan

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based trail camera animal recognition is an advanced technology that allows you to automatically identify and classify animals in images. The images are then displayed sorted in the app gallery.

ZEISS Theft replacement service

Only available with the Professional package

The ZEISS theft replacement service offers you the certainty that you will continue to have an eye on your observation ground even after theft or vandalism. ZEISS offers you a one-time discount of 80% on the replacement purchase of a stolen or deliberately destroyed ZEISS Secacam. 

Best value with 4+ cameras

It's cheaper than you think to have several cellular trail cameras in operation. With ZEISS Secacam trail cameras you save 30% on the data plans of all your cameras from your fourth trail camera onwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

ZEISS Trail Cameras

What are the differences between the ZEISS Secacam 5 and the ZEISS Secacam 7?

Excellent image quality, reliable transmission and high-quality workmanship unite the two ZEISS trail camera models. The ZEISS Secacam 5 is particularly impressive due to its compact size and low weight. This makes it easy and flexible to use as well as easier to hide and camouflage. The ZEISS Secacam 7, on the other hand, is characterized by its convenient operation and installation. The lens is placed above the front flap, allowing you to check the field of view directly in the display when mounting the camera. With its own battery magazine, batteries can be replaced conveniently and quickly without having to disassemble the camera. 

How are the images taken by the trail camera transmitted to my mobile phone? 

With the ZEISS Secacam 5 and ZEISS Secacam 7 4G-enabled trail cameras, you receive your recorded images and videos directly on your mobile phone via the ZEISS Secacam app. With conventional models, the storage media e.g. the SD card must be collected manually and evaluated on a PC, for example. Thanks to the modern LTE module with integrated multi-roaming SIM card, the camera can dial into the mobile networks of a wide range of providers and automatically selects the best network available at the location where it is installed. In this way, the images are transmitted directly to your end device via the mobile network without additional roaming charges. With the ZEISS Secacam app, you can view your images clearly in the gallery on your device, activate direct notifications, set profiles and much more.

What are the differences between the respective service plans? 

Attractive and fair price structures are available for the ZEISS Secacams 5 & 7. You can choose between a prepaid service and various service plans that you can cancel monthly without any conditions. Prepaid credit plans are also available to top up an existing subscription. Several cameras can access purchased credits, as they are credited to each user account.

Where can I book my service plan?  

The various service plans can be conveniently booked and paid for via the ZEISS Online Shop.  

Is there a price saving if I have several cameras in operation?

With ZEISS you save hugly when operating multiple trail cameras. Starting with the 4th ZEISS trail camera, you will receive a 30% discount on the service plans for all your cameras.

What are the optimum recording ranges for the different ZEISS Secacam models?

The optimum recording range is determined mainly but not exclusively by the field of view of a trail camera. The Secacam 5 and 7 have 60° while the Secacam 5 Wide-Angle features a 100° field of view. For general wildlife observation, a range of 5-15m is usually optimal. For nesting or feeding ground monitoring purposes, a shorter range between 0,35-5m proofs sufficient.
