Please consider the following facts from a worldwide online survey conducted by CamoHide during March 2018:

88% Of trail camera owners are concerned that they may lose their trail camera to theft. Read More

Are you sure your trail camera is still where you left it? There is a 39% probability that it is not.

95% Of trail camera owners leave their equipment unattended for a month or more at a time which provides thieves with ample opportunity to steal it.

34% Of trail camera owners are under the impression that their investment is safe when secured with a steel security lockbox and/or a python lock. Read More

Most trail camera thefts are crimes of opportunity, while security lockboxes will deter the average passer-by from stealing your camera, it will not deter a thief who sets out to steal your equipment. Security lockboxes and even python locks increase visibility of your trail camera and therefore also attract unnecessary attention.

It is an accepted fact that in certain circumstances a lockbox is necessary to keep a trail camera in place and protect it from curious animals e.g. bears, elephant and baboon but will most certainly not protect your trail camera from theft.

97% Of trail camera owners do not have insurance for their trail camera investment. Read More

The nature of a trail camera to be used unattended, placed against a tree, over an extended period and outside of your immediate control proves a deciding factor to insurance companies who hesitates to provide any insurance where there is considerable risk involved.

It is not only the replacement cost which matters when losing your trail camera, but also your valuable time, travel cost and the utter disappointment when you return, excited like a child on Christmas morning to check the images captured and find nothing.

72% Of trail camera owners prefers concealment as their primary strategy to protect their trail cameras. Read More

"If they cannot see it, they cannot steal it".

With trail camera theft on the rise, trail camera owners realize that concealment is key and in attempt to better conceal their expensive equipment will by a long and tedious DIY approach attempt to break the boxy appearance and shiny surface with various degrees of effectiveness. These DIY methods include various imaginative ways such as gluing real tree bark or using textured synthetic materials to conceal the trail camera.

47% Of trail camera owners believe concealment is key but trust on the printed camouflage design which results in a two-dimensional disguise that somewhat helps the camera blend with natural colours but only slightly improves its concealment as the object is still readily recognizable given its shape, silhouette and shine.
