Undetectable Silent CRUSH™ 24 Lightsout™

Grand Prairie, TX – To capture a great image, a digital scouting camera needs to combine the best lens, sensor, shutter, flash and other components for the conditions. Unfortunately, those conditions can range from full sunlight to pitch-black darkness, so making all that technology come together in a single camera is extremely challenging.

Released last year, Wildgame Innovations’ Silent CRUSH™ 20 Lightsout™ digital scouting camera proved to the world that a single camera can deliver extreme-quality still images and videos in any lighting conditions, while remaining totally undetected by game. They did it by combining separate onboard cameras – one optimized for daytime conditions and another for nighttime use – with Silent Lens System Technology™ and an invisible Lightsout™ flash. Best of all, Wildgame Innovations accomplished this industry-first while remaining true to their mission of providing innovative technology at affordable prices; the Silent CRUSH™ 20 Lightsout™ was offered to hunters at an MSRP of just $159.99.
