Trail cameras that follow what moves through, watch the ground you can't get to often, and tell you whether today's trip out is worth it.
The range
Every model works perfectly on its SD card with zero signal. 4G is there if you want it — never something you need for sharp pictures.
Essential · SD + WiFi
The one you leave on the exposed ground without losing sleep. Pulls images to your phone over WiFi when you're stood next to it — no signal needed at all.
Cable lock & steel box included
Standard · 4G, no subscription
The key camera. Images on your phone the moment they're taken, so you know whether the forty-minute drive is worth it today. SIM and data included in the price.
SIM + 12 months data included
Premium · 4G + solar
For the block you'd rather not drive to at all. Solar panel built in, 128GB card in the box — set it in September and leave it until the season's out.
128GB card + solar panel included
The add-on that actually gets used
One kit already comes free in every camera box. This is the second one — for the spotter position, the gate camera, or the mate who keeps losing his. It's the single thing that decides whether your camera is still there in a fortnight.
Sold at close to the cost of the parts. We'd rather you fitted one than saved £39 and lost the camera.
Our recommendation
Shop the range
Every camera sold on its own, with the security kit already in the box. No bundles to decode, no options that turn out to be compulsory.
The rest of the kit
The cameras are the reason you came. These are the things people put in the same basket — and the ones we'd actually use ourselves.
Every camera ships with a steel security box and cable lock as standard — not an upsell you find out about after the first one gets stolen.
Data and SIM included in the price you see. Nothing to remember to cancel, nothing to find on next month's statement.
UK-based support, same working day. Not a call centre eight time zones away.
The variable nobody puts on a spec sheet
Read any UK stalking or pest control forum for ten minutes and you'll find the same thread on repeat. Not resolution. Not detection range. Theft — a camera left on a permission, gone within a fortnight, and a police report that goes nowhere.
It's why people who could easily afford a good camera deliberately buy a cheap one, and why the anger runs far past the hundred quid. Losing the camera means losing the evidence with it.
“I've had six trail cams stolen to date. I only buy cheap ones now.”
The Stalking Directory — “Stolen trail cameras”
“Cautioned and let go. No fine. No court case. Nothing — the photos are no good as we need to catch them in the act.”
The Stalking Directory — “Thieving scum”
“My cameras are not activated but I'm being charged.”

The mechanism · Double Guard
We didn't think a nicer picture would fix a stolen camera. So we built the range around how experienced stalkers already work: one good camera, hidden where it matters, and a cheap one taking the risk on the exposed ground. Both locked down as standard.
Position 02 — the spotter
The gate, the track, the feed site anyone can walk past. Budget doesn't have to mean disposable — this is the camera we'd hide on the exposed spots ourselves.
Real captures
Roe, red and fox — the three that matter on most British ground. Switch to Night to see the same ground as the camera writes it after dark.
Sample captures shot on our own ground while we tested the range. Once customers start sending theirs in, they'll replace these.
Straight comparison
Not megapixels. The four things that come up again and again on UK forums — theft, subscriptions, rural signal and getting hold of a human being.

Who you're buying from
Deer stalkers buying a cheap camera on purpose because the good one already got stolen once. Farmers checking a phone every morning, hoping the field's still empty of anyone who shouldn't be there. People doing the maths on whether a monthly subscription is worth it for a camera that's supposed to save them a trip out.
Most of the cameras sold here were built for somewhere else — a market with bigger, fenced land, denser signal, and a subscription model everyone's used to. We started this because that gap felt worth closing properly, not because we thought we could make a nicer-looking box.
Every camera we sell ships with a lock and a security box as standard. None of them come with a subscription. And if something goes wrong, you'll get a real person, in this country, on the same day. That's it — that's the whole pitch.
Steel box and cable lock listed in the parts list of every camera on this page. Check any product page — you won't find it as a paid extra.
No account, no plan, no auto-renewal. There's no subscription page on this site because there's no subscription.
Ordered before 2pm on a working day, it leaves the same day. Not a label printed here and a parcel posted somewhere else.
No questions asked, as required under UK consumer law. We'd rather you were sure than stuck with something that doesn't suit your ground.
We've just opened, so there's nothing honest to put here yet. Reviews will appear on this page once the first cameras have been out on real ground for a season — written by people who bought one, not by us.
Theft & guarantee
Search any hunting forum for “trail camera” and “stolen” and you'll find the same story on repeat — a camera left on a permission, gone within a couple of weeks, and a police report that goes nowhere. We didn't think a nicer picture would fix that.
So every camera we sell ships with a lockable steel box and a cable lock as standard. If you're placing one somewhere exposed, we'll point you to the budget option built for exactly that spot — keep the good camera hidden where it belongs, and let the cheap one take the risk.
Included free with every camera: one steel box and one cable lock. Listed here because most people end up wanting a second set for the spotter position.
Before you buy
Everything else — returns, batteries, GDPR on footpaths, why we don't sell a subscription — is on the full FAQ.

No. The SIM and data allowance are included in the price you see today. Nothing renews, nothing to cancel — because there's nothing running in the background.
Every camera works perfectly on its SD card with zero signal. 4G is there if you want it, never something you need for sharp pictures.
Email us and you'll hear back from a real person, based in the UK, the same working day — not a call centre on the other side of the Atlantic.
One last thing
A trail camera doesn't do the stalking for you — it tells you whether the forty-minute drive is worth it today. Pick the one that suits your ground, and we'll send it out with everything it needs to still be there when you go back.
