BOLY SG520 4K DB Trail Camera

Product detailed description

New for 2025! A compact trail camera with powerful performance. Now available in the SG520 4K DB version with the ability to capture color footage at night. It features all the functions you need for property security or hunting ground monitoring. You can adjust the hybrid illumination to suit your preferences.

The camera trap features a hybrid LED layout: 2 ultra-bright 940 nm LEDs and 2 white LEDs that emit daylight. This configuration is a revolutionary step forward and allows the user to choose whether to take black-and-white or color night photos.

If you want to capture unique wildlife photos or protect your property by scaring off intruders with a bright flash, you can enable the daylight white flash in the camera trap menu.
If you prefer the classic, conventional, and discreet mode of invisible LEDs, choose the 940 nm invisible LEDs.
From a practical standpoint, this is the only trail camera on the market that offers users a wide range of practical features at a low cost.

The trail camera features all the necessary functions, such as a timer, time-lapse mode, automatic SD card overwrite when full, and many others. The 4K model, as the name suggests, can record high-resolution videos, including an audio track.

Option to configure color night recordings

Whatever you set is up to you; you can freely decide based on the purpose of the installation or simply experiment. Color night photography is suitable for shorter distances.

Maximum sensitivity and detection range
BOLY, formerly ScoutGuard, is a leader in innovation and holds several patents, including the PIR system—that is, the motion detection capability of its trail cameras. The SG520 4K model detects motion at a range of up to 25 meters.

4K resolution
The SG520 4K captures high-quality video footage in any situation, including the audio track. The camera starts recording video almost immediately after detecting motion, and you can view the footage later on a TV or computer.

Small size
Another advantage of the SG520 4K trail camera is its size. For its size, the camera delivers truly impressive performance and features that even the most expensive trail cameras don’t offer.

Focusing using the LCD
The built-in LCD screen on the front allows you to conveniently configure the camera trap without having to open it. You can also use it to frame the area you want to monitor. Simply take a photo of the area in front of the camera manually and view the image. You can immediately see what the camera is capturing.

Waterproof camera trap
We guarantee 100% weather resistance. The SG520 4K trail camera is based on the SG520 PRO model, which was one of the best-selling trail cameras in the Czech Republic and was renowned for its reliability and resistance to adverse weather conditions.

Easy operation
You'll find this camera trap easy to use. It has just three buttons: power on/off, menu, and manual shooting. Use these buttons to navigate the menu.

You'll see a thumbnail preview on the front screen. This screen also makes it very easy to frame your shot with the camera trap.

Replacing the batteries
Replacing the batteries is very easy and doesn't require you to handle the camera trap. Simply release the clips to open the camera trap, and you can easily replace the batteries while it's still mounted—for example, on a tree. The batteries are safely separated from the electronics.

How the phototape works in practice:

The camera trap is in standby mode.
If the PIR sensor detects movement, the camera trap is triggered and takes a photo of the monitored area.
It then saves this photo to an SD card.
We recommend viewing SD card recordings on a computer, TV, or similar device.
