Which camera is this wildlife photographer using to capture these animals?

I saw this video on a friends FB page this morning.  I'm curious what camera this photographer used and how did he trigger the camera to turn on at the right moment?

I'm guessing motion sensors of some sort?

 A motion detector is correct!

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Probably a game camera.  It is waterproof.  You just strap it to a tree and shoot every time it detects motion.  Hunters use them to track game.

Shop it well, my trail camera doesn't make such fine images. Its more of an ID tool.
