Abstract: A surveillance camera for wild game animals includes a camera having automatic flash, focus, aperture and shutter speed and film advance functions. The camera is mounted within a housing adapted for outdoor installation and protection from adverse weather conditions. An electronic control circuit mounted within the housing is operably connected to the camera and includes a programmable microprocessor providing an interval set function for timing between taking photographs. The camera is activated by a passive infrared sensor detecting body heat of the animal or group of animals to be photographed. Day/night enable and aiming light functions are provided. The electronic control circuit is designed for extremely low voltage requirements.
