## Abstract

The present invention is directed to a wildlife surveillance camera comprising EMF shielding material that substantially reduces the electromagnetic field generated by said camera.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A motion sensing wildlife surveillance camera which comprises a camera within an enclosure, wherein said wildlife camera is adapted to transmit photos and videos wirelessly from a remote location, said wildlife surveillance camera comprising an electromagnetic field and radio frequency shielding material that substantially softens and/or reduces the electromagnetic field and radio frequency emissions generated by said camera such that during operation said camera goes largely undetected by wildlife, wherein said shielding material comprises one or more conductive or magnetic materials that can substantially soften or block electromagnetic field and radio frequency emissions generated from said camera, wherein said shielding is on the outside of said enclosure, on the inside of said enclosure, or imbedded within the enclosure.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The wildlife camera of claim 1 wherein said shielding material comprises sheet metal, metal screen, and/or metal foam.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The wildlife camera of claim 1 wherein said camera comprises an antenna and a substantial portion of the antenna is covered by said electromagnetic field and radio frequency shielding.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The wildlife camera of claim 1 wherein said electronic device is selected from a smart phone or tablet.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The wildlife camera of claim 1 further comprising an aim point feature configured to utilize an app on an electronic device to optimize camera placement for taking photos and/or video of specific game.
