KEEN Ranger PT 4G LTE camera supports animal and human detection

I’ve tested a few security cameras with human and vehicle detection capabilities, but Reolink has now added animal detection via the KEEN Ranger PT trail camera mostly designed to monitor four-legged animals in the wild.

It’s somewhat similar to the Reolink Go Plus 4G camera with solar power support and 4G LTE connectivity, but also offers a 360° view with pan/tilt control, a low-glow IR night vision, a 0.5s fast trigger speed, as well as GPS to track the position of cameras or sightings of animals on the mobile app.

KEEN Ranger PT camera key features and specifications:

The camera is set up and controlled by the Reolink app for Android and iOS like previous security cameras from the company, and Google Assistant is also supported, but I’m not sure of the use cases if the camera is to be placed in the middle of the forest. Note that it only works with four-legged animals, so it won’t detect birds specifically (except through the PIR motion sensor). I wish there were some consumer-grade cameras that could be easily trained by their users, but we are not there yet. The KEEN Ranger PT trail camera’s animal detection feature is mostly used to observe wildlife and protect it, but it can also be useful for hunting.

The KEEN Ranger PT is up for pre-order with a solar panel for $369.99 excluding shipping. That’s a discounted price (by 15%) for the pre-order period that ends on July 29, 2022.
