ECOMOSAIC disturbance-free camera traps

Full passage detection without disturbing the animals.

How to choose a camera trap?

Below are a few special cases.

Showcase Videos

Disturbance-free presence

Observation of animal behaviour without causing disturbance to them.

Our camera traps do not emit scents detectable by mammals and birds; they are silent and operate with truly low visibility, using light sources that emit exclusively above 840 nm, unlike many commercially available wildlife cameras.

To ensure the integrity of the examined environment, they operate at 0 dB, free from electromagnetic emissions and olfactory effects.

In the footage, the wildcat not only fails to detect the camera but also marks what is the highest, most prominent point on its path, resembling a tree stump, before returning to mark its territory again with the scent glands in its paws. During nocturnal hunts, it remains oblivious to the LEDs.

Handheld Camera Quality

Our camera traps are developed to rival the image quality of MILC cameras, catering to wildlife filmmakers and users sensitive to image and sound quality.

5.3K (5312 x 4648 pixels) 60p/50p fps
4K UHD (3840 x 2160 pixels) 60p/50p fps
2.7K (2704 x 1520 pixels) 240p fps
120bit MP4 H.265 (HEVC)

The quality of audio recording is ensured by the complex processing of data from three microphones.

The footage showcases a 4K UHD resolution recording, demonstrating the advantages of resolution and dynamic range, as well as illustrating what it looks like to zoom into an HD 1080 frame.

Reliable Detection

Safe detection of ungulates and predators passing between 150 cm and 16 m.
No animal larger than 15 cm will go undetected at the examination site.

Wide-angle, dead zone-free PIR
Supports Micro SD cards from 4 GB to 2 TB
Access to footage from canopy-mounted cameras via Wi-Fi

Compatible with a wide range of external batteries

IP66 protection rating

The footage was captured during tests conducted in natural environments, far from inhabited areas, when traditional wildlife cameras were compared and the principles for the creation of ECOMOSAIC cameras were developed.

Dual-Camera Unit

The camera trap equipped with camera axes angled at 130° records events in both directions.

In the case of nests, it can be positioned vertically, allowing it to capture both the nest area and the approach zone.

The light measurement for the two cameras is independent.

Parallax Cameras

Highlighted Area and Surroundings

A wide-angle and telephoto lens ensure that the details are documented alongside the broader area captured by the camera, making the documentation just as comprehensive as in a single-camera version, while also providing a detailed view from a greater distance of the central area.

Multispectral Camera Trap

Lenses with the same focal length, featuring sensors for RGB, NIR, and UV wavelengths.

Extreme Conditions

Torrential Rain

Animal Attacks.

It will not run out of power even when left unattended for six months.

The video reveals what the martens did over a month and a half with the version designed for detecting all movement.

Environmental Damage with Wildlife Cameras?

Based on our experience, the presence of classic wildlife cameras affected animal behaviour during every test and, in many cases, disturbed them.

ECOMOSAIC Cameras and Accessories

We have developed various types of cameras based on specific user needs. The MOSAIC professional true-colour and multispectral camera traps are designed for use in wildlife films, film productions, as well as for research and monitoring purposes. They aim to replace traditional wildlife cameras, minimising disturbance to animals and the impact on the examined environment.
