Overview

The Dark Ops FHDR is a compact, high-performance trail camera perfect for discreet surveillance. Offering 1080p video and 26MP images, it features 'no glow' LEDs, making it ideal for security purposes while remaining invisible in the dark.

This ‘no glow’ trail camera is perfect for security or sensitive areas. With Gen 2 night optics and radiant 4 no-glow LEDs, it offers an invisible flash range up to 90ft. Illuma-smart technology adjusts the IR flash for improved detail in night photos.

The Smart IR video option allows the camera to record daytime videos for up to 5 minutes as long as motion is detected. This is a useful setting for capturing ongoing activity without interruption. Nighttime videos are limited to 20-second clips, but the camera can recover in under 1 second to start recording again if activity persists.

This is a fast camera for photos, featuring a competitive trigger speed of 0.09s along with recovery of 0.9s. This makes it highly responsive to movement, capturing photos with minimal delay inside its detection range of 70ft. Its video trigger and recovery speeds are good however for faster speeds we would recommend taking a look at Browning's HP5 or 1080 ranges.

Additional features include a timelapse function and a programmable start/stop timer, allowing you to programme when your camera is active and able to trigger.

Settings can be easily adjusted via a small, user-friendly text LCD screen. Footage cannot be directly reviewed on this camera, instead the screen displays the number of videos or photos taken and the remaining storage left on the SD card. To review footage, the SD card must be removed from the camera and inserted into a computer or laptop.

Its has a rugged, durable design, which makes it a reliable choice for long-term deployments, especially those in tougher environments.

The Dark Ops FHDR is a small, reliable, versatile trail camera that’s easy to use and performs well where no-glow LEDs are needed. However, if concealment isn’t a concern, we recommend considering the low-glow equivalent, the Strike Force FHDR, which offers slightly clearer images at night.
