Getting Started

Welcome to PixController, Inc. We specialize in developing electronic circuit boards for motion activated camera systems. We also design complete systems integrating our electronic circuit boards with various types of cameras. Applications for our products include but are not limited to Trail Cameras/Scouting Cameras for wildlife photography and scouting tools for hunters, Law Enforcement, Home Security, Remote Battery Operated Security, and new Wireless Motion Activated Applications.

With the number of products we provide and the various applications our products can be applied to it can be easy to become overwhelmed. This page was created to give new customers a quick starting reference.

Our complete systems are ready to go out of the box. These systems are all designed with maximum battery life for longest field life available on the market today. They also include the highest resolution imaging sensors for each given application providing you with the sharpest photos possible. Each product was designed in the smallest possible footprint for easy concealment and portability in and out of the field.




Trail Camera Kits

     

If you are looking to save some money and have the skills necessary to build your own system we supply various complete kits with all the parts necessary including waterproof camo dipped cases. These kits are an excellent way for a person on a budget to enjoy using high end trail camera system, or allow research groups to deploy 4X the number of systems. However, before starting there are a few things you need to know.

1. Take a look at our Step-by-Step building instructions to see if this type of project is within your skill set.

2. Many of our kits will require you to take apart a small digital camera and solder wires internally so that they may be remote shuttered. Please see our Camera Modification PDF files to see if this type of project is within your skill set. If you do not feel comfortable with camera modifications please contact one of our Custom Services Specialists who will perform this task for a small fee.

3. Building a camera system will require you have some skills in soldering, and some of this soldering will be very fine. You will need a limited number of tools such as a drill and bits, screw drivers, sharp knives, and items such as special glues. Most of these items can be purchased at your local hardware store or Radio Shack if you do not have them.

4. PixController, Inc. is not responsible for any damaged parts such as our circuit board, hardware parts, or digital cameras when undertaking a project like this. It is your responsibility to make sure you have the skills before taking part in this type of project. If, however, you need some help along the way please visit our Internet Help Forums and talk to others who have build their own systems.
