The NatureSpy Helarctos Solar Trail Camera is a high-performance, wildlife-focused camera designed to deliver exceptional video quality with minimal maintenance. Combining integrated solar power, 4K recording and local WiFi connectivity, it offers a reliable, low-impact solution for long-term wildlife monitoring in gardens, reserves and remote locations.

Developed and refined over more than a year of field testing, the Helarctos (meaning ‘sun bear’) is built to run continuously using renewable energy, reducing the need for battery changes while capturing detailed footage day and night.

Key Features

  • Integrated solar panel keeps the internal battery charged, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for battery replacement
  • 4K video recording at 30fps delivers sharp, detailed footage in both daylight and darkness
  • Local WiFi connectivity allows you to connect directly to the camera via an app to view live footage, download files and adjust settings (within approx. 25–30ft)
  • Low-glow LEDs provide even night-time illumination without excessive disturbance to wildlife
  • IP66-rated housing ensures reliable performance in rain, dust and challenging outdoor conditions

Efficient, Low-Maintenance Operation

The built-in rechargeable battery is continuously topped up by the solar panel, allowing the camera to run for extended periods with little intervention. In high-use or low-light conditions, the Helarctos also supports backup power via 4x AA batteries or USB-C charging, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring year-round.

Designed for Practical Field Use

The Helarctos is straightforward to set up and use, with intuitive controls and app-based access removing the need to frequently retrieve the camera. This makes it particularly useful for hard-to-reach locations such as trees, riverbanks or mounted survey points.

A supplied strap and standard tripod mount provide flexible installation options across a wide range of environments.
