The FlashCAM-880’s battery pack is powered by a Solar Panel. Under nomal conditions, FlashCAM will operate indefinitely with about two hours of sun per day. An AC wall adapter battery charger is included with the system as a backup.

The FlashCAM-880 senses motion up to 100 feet away. When motion is detected the system starts taking high resolution digital photographs. A bright flash goes off (if it is dark), and a loud voice message warns the intruder to “leave the area now” and that his photograph is being taken. Photos are clear enough to identify vandals and capture a license plate number more than 250ft away in TOTAL DARKNESS.
