Lynx series cameras feature a built-in static rangefinder, enabling quick and easy estimation of the distance to the observed target. Each device is equipped with 64 GB of internal memory for storing photos and videos captured during hunting or observation.

The Lynx cameras offer six popular display color palettes, allowing the image to be adapted to user preferences and viewing conditions:

• White Hot – warmer objects appear brighter

• Black Hot – warmer objects appear darker

• Red Hot – similar to White Hot, with the hottest areas highlighted in red

• Fusion – a gradient palette transitioning from white and yellow through red and pink to purple

• Red Monochrome – designed for prolonged observation with reduced eye strain
