The Camtraptions Lens Heater system helps prevent your valuable camera trap images from getting spoilt by condensation, dew formation and fogging.

The Lens Heater system consists of a programmable heating controller unit and a lens heater strip.

#### **Timer Functionality**

The heating controller has built-in timer functionality that operates on a **24-hour loop**, so the device can be left running unattended for many days or weeks at a time.

The controller can be set to provide heating during a time window when condensation is more likely to form (e.g. during the night), and turn off the heating automatically when dew formation is less likely to conserve power.

#### **Power Levels**

The controller offers three different heating power levels which allows further refinement of the power consumption.
