How to Use Filters to Organize Your Trail Camera Photos

As your trail camera captures more and more wildlife activity, sorting through hundreds of photos can become time-consuming. That’s where the filter function comes in. It helps you quickly find the moments that matter most — whether it’s a specific date, time, location, or animal movement.
In the app, go to your camera and tap on the Gallery or Photo Album section. You’ll see all the images stored from that device.

Step 2: Tap the Filter Icon

Look for the filter icon at the top of the screen. Tap it to open filtering options.

Step 3: Choose Your Filter Criteria

Depending on your camera system, you can filter photos by:
  • Date or time range Easily view photos from a specific day or period (e.g., last weekend or early mornings).
  • Motion type Separate human, vehicle, or animal-triggered events if smart detection is supported.
  • Device name or location Useful if you have multiple cameras set up in different areas.
  • File type View just photos, just videos, or time-lapse footage.

Step 4: Apply the Filter

Once you’ve selected your criteria, tap Apply. The gallery will now only display media that matches your filter.

Step 5: Save or Export Important Files

Use the filter to find key moments, then mark, favorite, or download
