Is There a Better Way?
The most popular action cameras on the market don't offer security and monitoring capabilities like trail cameras do. My client and I saw an opportunity to combine these two functionalities.

Final Design
An action-security camera for daytime and nighttime recording. A quick release strap allows for easy attachment to a backpack strap and a panic button provides intuitive safety against the wilderness.
Day Cam
Wear the Owl on your chest during a hike and capture the trail like a regular camera - with the added peace of mind that you're prepared for any unexpected encounters.
Panic Button
In a fight-or-flight moment, two slaps of the panic button triggers the alarm and the wide angle camera starts capturing footage of what's in front of you.
Night Mode
Keep the Owl on your strap and place it a short distance from your tent. Leave it on overnight, and watch the live feed from your phone. If it detects unexpected movement, it'll sound the alarm and alert you immediately.
