Day 6 Outdoors’ PlotWatcher Pro is the Best on the Market
OutdoorHub 06.17.14
Time-lapse cameras are all the rage now and the PlotWatcher Pro leads the pack with many remarkable features. With the PlotWatcher Pro, Day 6 stepped up their game in terms of battery life, image timing and controls, and unit display.
Battery life is a major concern for time-lapse cameras or cameras that produce high quality images over many hours. Day 6 Outdoors had a vision of longer battery life without sacrificing the quality of the product. They were not only able to achieve that vision, but improve upon the quality of the PlotWatcher™ Pro’s other aspects as well.
Traditional trailcameras in time-lapse mode will take around 20,000 images on a set of batteries, which seems like a lot. The PlotWatcher™ Pro will take up to 1 million images on a single set of batteries. A day’s worth of time-lapse video will consist of about 10,000 images. The PlotWatcher™ Pro will take up to 1,000,000 images on a single set of batteries. This means the PlotWatcher™ Pro will last up to four months on a single set of batteries! That’s 20 times longer than other time-lapse cameras. Amazing! “The battery life on the Plotwatcher Pro has greatly impressed us. Day 6 claims 4 months of battery life and they are just about dead on,” said the review on TrailCamPro.com.
Unlike other “time-lapse” video cameras on the market, the PlotWatcher™ Pro automatically converts photos to HD video format. That means you don’t have to manage thousands of files or waste time with slow playback software. On the other hand, trail cameras save their files as individual images so you have to create the video. This takes a lot of time and effort to manage the files. And, with the Game Finder software that comes with all PlotWatcher products, you will be able to review a full 12-hour day of video in just 3 minutes! Reviewing the images captured has never been easier. Game Finder even comes with MotionSearch, which allows the viewer to skip until motion is detected. TrailGamePro.com said it best with “Game Finder is unbelievable. Sorting through hundreds or even thousands of photos takes mere minutes.”
The setup and display are among, if not the best in the outdoor time-lapse camera industry. Programming the camera is a breeze, programming takes place on a 2.5″ LCD display screen on the inside of the camera.
Overall, the PlotWatcher Pro towers over the competition. TopTenREVIEWS gives the PlotWatcher Pro an astounding 10 out of 10, with it’s closest competitor coming in at 8.8. “This is an unbelievably efficient, easy-to-use and effective camera for wildlife scouting. Without hesitation, we recommend this camera for nearly every situation imaginable,” says TrailCamPro.com.
With deer season around the corner, you need a PlotWatcher™ Pro to amplify your scouting success. Don’t waste time converting images or waste money buying batteries when you can simply pick up a PlotWatcherPro.
