How to Use the Stealth Cam Command Pro App to Maximize Your Trail Cams

The Stealth Cam Command Pro App, available on iOS and Android, is a well-designed tool which will take your trail camera game to the next level. Whether you’re managing a single Stealth Cam camera or an entire network across a large property like we are, this app provides the control and insights you need to optimize your scouting game. With features like remote settings adjustments, real-time image viewing, and advanced filtering, the Command Pro App puts you in charge of your trail cameras like never before, from anywhere you have a mobile connection or Wi-Fi.

I would say from my experience this year, the Command Pro app is something that really sets Stealth Cam apart from its competition. Not only is it easy to use and virtually bug free, it has a bunch of great features that I have not found within other trail camera ecosystems.

We’re going to break down how to use the Command Pro App to get the most out of your Stealth Cam trail cams.

Setting Up Your Cameras in the App

Before you can start using the Command Pro App to monitor your property, you’ll need to pair your cameras by following these steps:

• Download the App: Install the Stealth Cam Command Pro App from the App Store or Google Play.
• Create an Account: Register with your email and set up a secure password.
• Add Your Camera: Use the QR code inside your camera’s battery compartment or manual to link the camera to your account.
• Activate Your Plan: Choose a data plan based on your usage needs. The Command Pro App offers options that cater to different levels of image and video uploads. You can also purchase additional HD images and video as needed if you exceed your plans limit.

Pro Tip: Make sure your trail camera is positioned and powered on before pairing it with the app to ensure a smooth setup.

Fine-Tuning Camera Settings

One of the biggest advantages of the Command Pro App is its ability to remotely manage your camera settings. One of the most impressive things that I have noticed is that the updates happen quickly, often virtually real time:

• Adjust Image and Video Quality: Set your camera to capture high-res photos and videos. Just keep in mind that higher quality media will use more battery life. We recommend checking out the Stealth Cam FieldMax accessory line to get extra battery life for your cameras.
• Control Detection Sensitivity: Fine-tune the PIR sensor to reduce false triggers from things like waving grass or passing clouds. Nature is beautiful, but you don’t need 100 photos of the grass!
• Set Custom Schedules: Schedule specific times for your camera to be active, conserving battery life and focusing on key periods of wildlife movement.

Leverage Real-Time Notifications

The Command Pro App keeps you connected with instant alerts whenever your trail cam captures motion. We’ve been on property and triggered our cameras while driving through and have experienced almost instant alerts via the Command Pro app. These notifications let you:

• Stay Informed: See real-time updates on animal movement without having to physically check your camera.
• Act Quickly: As we get into the harsher weather conditions of the fall, we’ll also monitor the app to ensure our blinds are holding up. If something happens due to snow or wind, we can quickly hustle to the lease to address it rather than encountering a surprise on our next visit.

Filter and Organize Your Media

With hundreds of high quality images and videos hitting your app, the Command Pro App’s filtering tools are a life saver:

• Species Tags: Automatically categorize photos by species using the built in AI-driven tagging feature.
• Weather and Time Filters: Sort images based on conditions like temperature, moon phase, or time of day.
• Favorites and Sharing: Mark key images for easy reference and share them directly from the app with friends or fellow hunters. You can also take this a step further by sharing access to a camera or multiple cameras with another Command App user.
  • If you hunt land with friends or family, the camera sharing feature is going to be perfect for you. Once you invite another Command Pro user to your camera, they will be able to access a number of the core features in the app and also get real time notifications when new images or videos are uploaded.

On-Demand Image and Video Requests

One of my absolute favorite features is the app’s on-demand capture functionality which lets you request high-resolution images or videos from your cameras in real-time:

• Capture the Moment: Perfect for confirming activity in a specific area or checking on the ground weather conditions.
• Save Storage: Only download high-res content when necessary to conserve your data plan.

Use the Mapping Tool for Strategic Placement

The Command Pro App includes an advanced mapping feature to make property and device management:

• Pin Camera Locations: Visualize your camera network on a map and identify gaps in coverage.
• Track Patterns: Overlay wildlife movement data to pinpoint hotspots.
• Plan Adjustments: Relocate cameras or stands based on insights gathered from your map.

Integrate with HuntStand

The Command Pro App integrates seamlessly with HuntStand. If you aren’t familiar, HuntStand is a GPS hunting app that we use which offers advanced mapping layers and property management tools:

• Streamlined Access: View your cameras, photos, and property markers all in one place.
• Data Insights: Combine camera data with weather forecasts and hunt zones for strategic planning.

8. Monitor Camera Health

Keep your trail cams capturing photos by using the Command Pro App to monitor:

• Battery Levels: Receive low-battery alerts to ensure your cameras don’t go offline at a crucial time.
• Signal Strength: Check cellular connectivity and adjust the camera location if needed.
• Storage Space: Track SD card capacity and manage data remotely. You can even format your SD card remotely which I think is a great feature!

Colorize Your Photos

The Command Pro App features night-time colorization, which enhances visibility in low-light images by using a built in AI to change your black and white photos to color:

• Better Detail: Spot subtle movements or track animals more effectively at night.
• Enhanced Review: Combine these insights with your daytime captures for a full picture of wildlife patterns.

Final Thoughts

The Stealth Cam Command Pro App is a vital tool for hunters and land managers who want to get the most out of their Stealth Cam trail cameras. From real-time updates and advanced filtering to strategic mapping and integration with HuntStand, this app simplifies the management of your cameras while providing crucial insights into wildlife behavior. The Command Pro app is going to save you time and help you gain a deeper understanding of your property and the wildlife passing through.
