    A customer reported "False Trigger" to Boly Media, which makes the long range cameras, and provided the following pictures as proof:

    Now I get it.

    The two "false trigger" pictures are as follows:

    IMAG0322.JPG IMAG0321.JPG

    However, after carefully analyzing the pictures, the manufacturer dicovered that there are birds on the electric lines, and the number of birds in the two pictures are different (as verfied by the customer in larger picture).

    Is the Long Range camera as powerful as being able to detect flying birds at hundred yards away?

    The testing engineers put two cameras on the roof and captured 2 really big "birds":

    With this kind of capability, the Long Range technology is going to change the "Game" of game industry completely.

    The times have nothing to do with the triggers right? They are spaced to far apart to even compare the two. My guess is a bird flew through at a closer distance which is why you dont see it in the pics. I get pics of nothing sometimes because the sensor has more angle than the lens does. What you see is not always what you get in the pics.

    Yeah and how could so many birds get there with out the picture taking? If that was true there would be a picture of one...then two...then three...and so on. I get blank pictures all the time. Keeps you alert lol.

    Like I said what happened in the background is irrevelent, what happened in the foreground and likely just off camera is.

    The camera also moved between the 1st two photos.

    For your information, a true Long Range camera does not come with a price of False Trigger. It actually reduces false trigger, due to its intrinsic capability of separate noises from signals.

    The range of a camera is like the the horse power to a race car. Period.

    Just like an astronomic telescope can see far into the universe, a Long Range camera detects motion/thermal signals much fatheraway, and at a wider angle, just as the picture below shows:

    While I am not doubting others' creativity and technological competency, one needs a Long Range technology to detect such long distance without increasing false alarms. The following diagram shows the difference of Regular Range camera and Long Range Camera:

    The detection range of a regular range camera falss back to about 15 ft during winter, while a Long Range camera still has at least 30 ft during winter.

    Sorry but this statement is completely false. The detection range of most cameras actually increases in colder temps because of the greater temperature difference between the subject and the ambient air temp.

    In most cases your statement is true, but not so in the extreme winter. The sensitivity of PIR system is not linear with temperature.
