Wildlife Filming: Hawke Prostalk PC2000 Nature Camera (Trail Camera)

Over a couple of months ago I decided I needed a Trail Camera because I wanted to film Otters on the river. I had two cameras at that time a Xm2 which couldn't film in the dark and a Sony DCR-HC37 Handycam Mini Dv Camera which had Night shot mode but you had to be quite close to the subject to be able to film it. I felt I needed to by a trail camera this way I could get shots of the Otters without having to be beside the riverbank disturbing them. I started having a look around websites like Amazon to the prices of some trail camera and they had some decent looking trail cameras but I came across a site called www.cameraworld.co.uk and their was a trail camera called Hawke Prostalk PC2000 Nature Camera for £132. A 2.0 MP camera which can take pictures and videos in high resolution. This camera look ed prefect for what I needed and at a affordable price too.

The trail camera has a delay time of about 1 second which is quick enough to capture the animal your trying to film but if you wanted longer shots of it in front of the camera then you could consider tempting it with food. 

It records in 640 x 480 pixels and films one shot for 15 seconds. It has 15 night vision LEDs so its excellent for film at night time which is great for people wanting to film nocturnal animals like Otters, Foxs and Badgers.

For anyone thinking of buying the Hawke Prostalk PC2000 Nature Camera I say DO IT! Its a great camera and very easy to setup (reading the instruction manual.)  I can't wait to get more amazing shots of animals with this camera.
