DL003 Trail Camera 1080P – Hunting and Wildlife Camera with 940nm Infrared
The DL003 trail camera is a camouflage-pattern outdoor camera that straps to a tree or post and records when something warm moves in front of it. It is listed at 1080P HD, has 940 nm infrared LEDs for night shots, two motion sensors, and a 2 inch screen inside the case for setting up and playing back. Easy Life Markets sells it as a single camera with a strap, a storage bag and a manual.
A trail camera, also called a camera trap, lets you see what passes a spot when nobody is there. Hunters use them to learn which animals use a track and at what hours. Landowners and gardeners use them to find out what is visiting at night. Wildlife watchers use them to record shy animals without disturbing them.

Why 940 nm Infrared Matters
Trail cameras light a night scene with infrared LEDs. Many use 850 nm LEDs, which give a faint red glow that animals and people can see when they look at the camera. This model uses 940 nm LEDs, which the supplier describes as not emitting red light. The practical result is a camera that is harder to notice at night. The usual trade-off with 940 nm lighting is a shorter reach than 850 nm, so place the camera closer to where you expect movement.
What the Supplier Does Not State
The written data for this camera is short. These points are not given, so we do not quote figures for them:
- Batteries. The pictures label a battery compartment, but the type and number of batteries are not stated.
- Trigger speed and detection range. Not stated.
- Night range. Not stated.
- Photo resolution. Only the 1080P video figure is given.
- Largest memory card. Not stated.
- Weather rating. The camera is sold for outdoor use, but no IP rating is listed.
If one of these matters for your use, ask us before ordering and we will check with the supplier.
How It Works
The PIR sensors watch for a change in heat moving across the scene. When a warm body crosses in front, the camera wakes and records. The rest of the time it sleeps, which is how trail cameras run for long periods on one set of batteries. At night the infrared LEDs switch on with the recording, and footage comes out in black and white.
The supplier's pictures show a primary sensor on the front and a secondary one. On cameras built this way, the second sensor widens the watched area so the camera is already awake when the animal reaches the centre of the frame.
Setting It Up
- Open the case and fit batteries in the compartment, following the markings.
- Insert a TF card. Format it using the camera's menu so the file system suits the camera.
- Move the toggle switch to the setup position and use the buttons and screen to set date, time and recording mode. The manual shows the positions.
- Take a test recording and play it back on the screen.
- Move the switch to the working position, close the case and latch it.
- Thread the strap through the slots on the back and pull it tight round a tree or post.
Where to Put It
- Height. Around knee to waist height suits most ground animals. Angle it slightly down for smaller ones.
- Direction. Avoid pointing it straight at the rising or setting sun. Glare washes out the picture and warm sunlit branches can set off false triggers.
- Clear the foreground. Grass and twigs moving in the wind in front of the sensor fill a card with empty clips.
- Aim along a path, not across it. An animal walking towards the camera stays in view longer than one crossing the frame.
- Walk test. Walk past at the distance you expect animals to pass, then check the recording before leaving the camera.
Looking After It
- Check the seal around the case edge for grit before closing it.
- Wipe the lens and the sensor windows with a soft cloth. Spider webs and mud are common causes of poor footage.
- Take the batteries out for long storage so a leak cannot damage the contacts.
- Carry a spare card and swap cards on each visit so you can view footage at home.
Use It Responsibly
Rules on trail cameras, hunting and recording on land you do not own differ from place to place. Check what applies where you are, get the landowner's permission, and do not point the camera at paths, homes or anywhere people expect privacy.
Who It Suits
Hunters scouting a new area, smallholders checking what is taking poultry or crops, gardeners curious about night visitors, and wildlife watchers who want footage without sitting in a hide.
Common Questions
Does it send pictures to a phone? No wireless or mobile connection is listed. Footage is saved to the card.
Does it record in colour at night? Night footage under infrared light is black and white.
Is a memory card included? None is listed.
Can it be locked to a tree? The supplier's picture labels a lock and keyhole on the back. No lock or cable is listed in the box.
