This is a camouflaged camera designed to be strapped to a tree or a post to record the local wildlife covertly. It comes with a fairly long green webbing strap for this purpose as well as an adjustable camera tripod for other mounting options, it has a standard 1/4 tripod thread on the rear and bottom for this or any other camera mounts you may have.It has a small 12 volt dc input at the base hidden under a rubber cover, no power supply is included but that is because it is designed to be used with batteries as there is rarely mains power in the woods where this is designed to be used.Batteries are also not included, you will need 8 x AA batteries but you should get a few months use out of them.The camera is hinged and two catches hold it together, there is also a place to use a padlock to lock it together.Once opened you can see the batter compartment on the rear and the controls and a small led screen to set up the camera and to playback any recordings & to view photos. You can also of course remove the SD card and insert it in a computer. It takes full sized SD cards, I use a 128gb Class 10 card, for hd video recording Class 10 is essential.One odd thing I noticed was you can’t access the menu unless you have a card inserted, no biggy but an unusual one that’s all.In the set up menu aremode selection - photo, video or photo & videophoto size 16mp or 12mpVideo size - 1920x1080 24fps, 1920x1080 15fps, 1280x720, 848x480 or 720 x 480Photo amount - 1 to 9Video length - 10 to 180 secondsInterval timeTimelapse on/offSide PIR on/offVolume Rec on/offAuto Power off - off/3/5/10 minsBacklight timeFlash LightTimerDate & TimeTime FormatTime StampCamera NamePasswordLanguageTV OutForma SD CardReset to FactorySystem Update/InfoAVI files 1920 x 1080 @ 26mbps 24 fpsAudio 128kbps 8,000hz 16 bit mono.1920 x 080@24fps for 30 seconds = 99mb

Easy to use and simple to setup

Having owned a trail camera a little while now of another brand but much lesser specification than this one, I can state straight away this is one big step forward from that ‘basic’ model. It comes with everything you need such as a nylon strap to secure to anything appropriate that makes it very handy for securing to most items found around the garden etc. as all you need then is set of batteries (8 of but so far seem to be lasting quite well with its 24 hour usage) plus a SD card of choice, all contained in a smart looking, descriptive box plus the instructions in English and German plus a very helpful 3 page ‘quick set up’ guide with illustrations in English. Once read up on, loaded with quality batteries, a 16GB SD card it was then sited outside on the wall close to some plants we have on a trellis frame and unless you know its there, it blends in very well due to its camouflage pattern casing that gives a quite wide view. The trigger response is very quick - light years in front of our other ‘basic’ model - with the infer-red sensor working very well indeed - with its central and two side sensors it catches just about everything in its range. The quoted 16 mp sensor/lens makes a good job of the day time photos with the quality of the night time ones (in black and white) not lagging far behind. There is a video setting (1080P HD video with good sound recording - we could detect footsteps on the gravel on the path!) which we tried to see how it worked and its as good as the photo side plus unlike our basic model, it has a built-in colour viewing screen you can view your shots on, which is very impressive as you don’t really need a computer to see them on initially. All in all, a very good package with a competitive price of around £58 (reviewed mid November 2019) makes it quite affordable, more so considering the specification.

Really enjoying this Wildlife cameraStrap it something sturdy, turn it on adjust the settings to your liking and awake in the morning and view the footagethe images are of a decent level and the motion detecting is very goodYou do not just have to leave this overnight also works just a well in the day, I found i got better results turning the motion sensor down, and i got less image of the wind blowing something.only issue i had was a little condensation on the lens cover if it is a cold night

Included in the box is the trail camera, a very long 2 meter fabric strap to tie the camera to trees/fence posts, a tripod mount, USB cable. You will need to provide 8xAA batteries and a SD card 64 GB Class 10 yourself.The camera looks durable and well built out of the box. The side locks that hold the camera closed gives a good seal around the camera providing a IP66 waterproof design. The camera was very easy to install in our garden using the provided fabric strap mounted the camera securely around one of our trees. Unfortunately we had a little trouble setting up the camera as the instructions are confusing and badly worded. I was unable to view images on the cameras internal screen so had to keep removing the SD card and using it on a PC to view any images.We have yet to capture any images of wildlife due to the winter weather, however I have managed to capture several images of myself visiting our bins. It appears that this camera is not only for capturing wildlife but can also be used as a security camera. The camouflage design makes it hard to spot so it's perfect for this purpose. The daytime images are HD perfect quality. The nighttime images are of poorer quality due to the grainy appearance however the focus is still sharp.

I was so excited to get this as I have been getting a nightly visit from a hedgehog and I wanted to capture it on camera. Sadly no hedgehog (a bit late in the season now tbh) but I did capture one of my cats in the act of carrying a rat!I used an old (ish) 8GB SD card that I no longer use by SanDisk (Ultra II SDHC). I also used Amazon Basic rechargeable batteries with high amp given the length of time this would be in use even with auto turn off.I selected the mode that captures both photo and video. It was easy to set up and the menu is pretty clear & intuitive.In the morning I noted there was condensation inside (on the screen and the batteries were very cold to the touch) but then it's the first week of November and temperatures got as low as 7°C overnight.The battery power was in the red despite being high amp and with auto turn off after 3 minutes. So it's a very power-hungry device. Depending on the frequency of use you'll be going through an awful lot of batteries.Overall though I was very impressed with the easy setup and the results. Highly recommend.

There are an absolute plethora of Trail Cameras out there, so I guess it will always be difficult to choose, but this one does what it says on the tin, and pretty well!Usually with this type of item, the instructions are poorly written, often leaving you more confused than before you read them, but I'm happy to say the instructions for this. including a very useful and helpful simple operating instructions version to get you started. It is easier then when a bit more au fai, to get to grips with the more advanced bits.Although you can set angle / sensitivity etc of detection, I have found it works well out of the box with no problemsDay and night detection works well, night time images are pretty good, certainly for the price you'll be hard pressed to better. Daytime images are superb, as you would expect.The camera was very easy to set up, and I have strapped to a tree in my garden - piece of cake.All in all, a very good bit of kit, for which I have a couple of minor gripes (although all of this type of product seem similar in this respect), 1: Rechargeable battery pack would have been nice, although to be fair you can simply use rechargeable AA batteries (it takes 8). 2: Wi-Fi would have been nice to enable download of images. You have to physically go to camera to view, or remove the whole thing / SD card to view / download. Note the memory card type is SD, so if you use a micro SD card, you need an adaptor. Many micro SD cards come with an adaptor anyway.

I have experienced of a few of these “wildlife cams” but this is the second one I have owned and it is the best one I have familiarity with so far. The motion detector appears to be much faster than my other one and the videos are nice and clear – even reasonably decent on nightwatch mode.It’s so far captured a fox, a badger, many birds and even some butterflies so it has a good sensitivity also (though these were quite close to the camera). It also gets triggered quite a lot in high winds if there are lots of branches nearby!I have a 64GB SD card that I bought alongside receiving this and this lasts usually up to 3 or 5 days (depending on activity in my garden!). It takes a hefty 8x AA batteries which it can get through quite quickly although it also has the facility to use an external power supply (it is too far away from my house to bother with this so I’ll just have to keep using up the battery juice for now!I’ve just recently made a “Toad abode” in the garden so I am looking forward to seeing how much activity I get around that!
