- Invisible IR flash
- Detection range of 24 meter / Flash range of 45 meter

Reconyx HP2X HyperFire 2 (Professional)
The Reconyx HP2X ('P' stands for 'professional') is the professional model of the HyperFire 2 series, introduced in 2018. The HP2X is in terms of 'look' and 'feel' exactly the same as the HF2X (outdoor) and the HS2X (security camera). Yet the HP2X model is the model with the most advanced settings. One important difference between the HyperFire 2 models is that both the Reconyx HP2X and the HS2X are equipped with the same - and excellent working - motion sensor as the Reconyx HyperFire 1 models (e.g. HC600, PC900 and SC950), which makes it possible to compare obtained data with earlier data from the older HyperFire 1 models. This does not apply to the Reconyx HF2X. Also, the HP2X and the HS2X can make longer videos and are equipped with a 'SD card management function', with which older images are automatically overwritten when the memory card becomes full. Finally, there are more physical adjustment possible for the Reconyx HP2X (think of an external power connection, external trigger, solar panel, zoom lens etc.). Additional specifications of the Reconyx HP2X are:
- Invisible IR flash
- 'HF Legacy' setting
- Detection range of 24 meter
- Flash range of 45 meter
- 1080 Full HD or 3MP photo resolution
- 720p HD video resolution
- Dynamic video function
- Hybrid functionality (simultaneous photo- and videomode)
- Advanced time-lapse
Reconyx HP2X HyperFire 2 | Appearance
The housing of the camera models from the Hyperfire 2 series is pretty much identical. The dark green housing is very robust and able to withstand extreme weather conditions. As with all other Reconyx models, there is a locking clip on the right side, which gives access to the camera's control panel. This is also where you enter the SDHC memory card and AA batteries. When using Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries, the cameratrap can last a staggering 16 months!

Reconyx HP2X HyperFire 2 | Alternatives
The Reconyx HyperFire 2 models are the absolute top class among cameratraps. If you are looking for a security camera, have a look at the Reconyx HS2X security camera. Also, there is the Reconyx HP2W HyperFire 2 model, which is identical to the HP2X, but equipped with a white LED flash. This results in beautiful color images not only during the day, but also at night!
Reconyx HP2X HyperFire 2 | Independent review by Silvavir Ecology Consultancy

Reconyx HP2X HyperFire 2 | Recommended accessories
All camera traps are supplied without accessories. However, to get started with your cameratrap right away, you need at least a set of batteries and an SDHC memory card. For this model this is a standard SDHC memory card of at least Class 10, such as the Sandisk Ultra cards. Additionally, we recommend to use the Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries (not rechargeable), or the Panasonic Eneloop and Eneloop PRO rechargeable NiMH batteries. The advantage of the lithium batteries over the rechargeable Eneloop batteries is that the former are more resistant to winter temperatures. The disadvantage however, is that they are non-rechargeable. If you choose rechargeable batteries, think of the Japcell 8-bank charger, in case you don't have a good battery charger in your house!
In addition to batteries and a memory card, there is a variety of other accessories available for this cameramodel. There are all kinds of special mounting materials such as tree forks and supports, but also accessories that ensure that the camera is placed more securely, such as a steel security enclosure or a python cable lock. You can select these accessories directly above and place your order as a bundle, but you can also view the complete overview of accessories here.
