First Sony LANC based Video Camcorder trail camera system - November, 2001 Unit made with the "Original PixController Board"

First RS-232 "plug-n-play" Digital Trail Camera, 2001 w/ "Original PixController Board"

This controller was first marketed to members of the popular internet trail camera forum "Jesse's Hunting Page" and was an instant success. This enabled the average person to design and build their own trail camera using our controller, a store bought camera, and a waterproof case. Soon after its release, many people started enjoying 35mm, digital, and video camcorder scouting trail cameras they built on their own. They found the quality, functionality, and ease of use to far surpass any units commercially made trail/video camera. Not only did this attract hunters interested in scouting deer for the up and coming hunting seasons, but this also attracted the attention of many wildlife research groups and photographers like the World Wildlife Federation, and many members of wildlife filming groups such as Animal Planet/Discovery Channel, and National Geographic. 

Customers soon found out they could build 4 to 5 camera systems using our motion controller boards at they price they would pay for one rather "non-functional" commercial unit. Soon people were capturing photos/movies of wildlife they never knew they had in their own back yard, or woods near their houses, and raised the excitement level of seeing "what was out there".

At the close of their first year in business, with several thousand controller boards in the field world wide, PixController started to collect data from many of their users about what they liked and what they didn't like. It was this unique relationship PixController, Inc. had with its customers that enabled them to release new "truly functional" products and innovations at an unprecedented rate in the industry. 

Seeing his true passion set in motion, Powers left his software/hardware engineering job of 17 years in 2003 to work for the company full time. His wife, Donna Powers, started working for the company full time in 2003, which was an added boost to get the company off the ground. Not only did PixController, Inc. produce OEM control boards for the "do-it-yourself" trail camera systems, but they also designed the trail camera products for Penn's Woods Products, which have been featured in Cabela's. Soon after, PixController turned its sights on being the first company to release a wireless cellular transmitted digital trail camera, the CellularEye™ in the spring of 2004. This alone was a two year R&D effort. In 2006, PixController, Inc. will release another first, the DVREye™, which will be the first "Digital Video Recorder" game camera on the market when it is released for sale in the fall of 2006. This video recording unit features a unique full color by day footage and stealth IR footage at night recording mode.
