Forest Security Equipment
Trail Cameras
Characteristics:
- Motion sensing technology using infrared rays: The tap mechanism is activated when anything crosses its path.
- Day/Night mode: Colors are captured during daytime, while black-and-white images are captured in night mode using infrared rays (without any flash, so animals stay relaxed).
- Water/weather-resistant case that works outdoors.
- Uses battery or solar power on advanced models.
Trail Camera is an exceptional kind of camera that can be put up in the woods to automatically click photos and videos whenever any animal or person moves past the camera. These types of cameras don’t need anyone around to take photos or videos. They are installed at selected spots in the forest and run day and night to monitor activities there.
LRF (Laser Range Finders)
Characteristics:
Your target is either a tree, an animal, or a landmark.
The LRF fires a laser toward that target.
The laser range finder determines the time taken for the laser to return.
From the time taken, it measures the distance in either meters or feet.
Laser Range Finder (LRF) is a portable instrument that determines the distance between the user and an object by measuring laser beams.
Simply put: LRF (forestry products) helps to determine distances, including from a long distance away in the forest or across a river.
Binocular
Characteristics:
- Magnification 8x to 12x
- Objective Lens Diameter 42 mm to 50 mm
- Linear Field of View 273 feet/1000 yards to 420 feet/1000 yards
- Angular Field of View 5.5 to 8.0 degrees
The binocular is a very useful optical device that allows one to enlarge images of distant objects for various pursuits such as bird watching, hunting, observing nature, and trekking. It is necessary for sports spectacles, concerts, theaters, sea voyages, space viewing, tourism trips, and surveillance missions.
Spotting Scope
Characteristics:
- Magnification 20-60×85 to 27-60×85
- Objective Lens Diameter 85 mm
- Linear Field of View : 101′ – 50′ @ 1000 yds to 108′ – 60′ @ 1000 yds
- Angular Field of View 1.9 to 2.1 degrees
Spotters are highly magnified telescopes that are used for observing objects at great distances on the ground. These are usually placed on a tripod and provide a zoom capability (20x to 60x) much greater than the one found in binoculars. They have objectives ranging between 50mm and 80mm.
