Fr das Geld auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!
Die Batterien halten sehr lange durch.
Der Funktionsumfang ist sehr gut (Bildgren, Videoaufnahmen, Zeitsteuerung, Auslseempfindlichkeit, etc.). Alles da was man bentigt. Und einfach zu bedienen.
Die Bild- und Videoqualitt ist sowohl fr Tag wie auch Nacht sehr gut. Nachts natrlich entfernungsabhngig. Aber auch da im Bereich von ca. 10-15m TOP.
Ich habe die Kamera mittlerweile seit ca. 4 Monaten bei uns an verschiedenen Stellen in Betrieb, da wir einen Marder auf dem Dach haben. Auch in >15m Entfernung ist der Kerl noch auf dem Dach auf den Bildern gut zu erkennen und lst die Kamera zuverlssig aus. Bei sehr schnellen Bewegungen kommt es (vor allem nachts) natrlich auch hin und wieder zur Unschrfe. Aber das werden auch teurere Gerte nicht vermeiden knnen.
Auerdem ist sie perfekt Wasser- und Schneedicht. IP66 vom Hersteller angegeben.
Lediglich die Schrauben des unteren Befestigungs-/Standfues sind etwas korrodiert. Ist aber nicht dramatisch und die lassen sich auch einfach ersetzen, falls erforderlich.
Fazit:
Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Wrde die Wildkamera auf jeden Fall wieder kaufen.
Only thing is you need to buy batteries AA should be included.
Die Kamera ist super. Wir haben bei uns ein Igelhuschen im Garten stehen und wollten schauen, ob sich dort was tut.
Dank der Kamera wissen wir nun, was bei uns Nachts im Garten passiert.
Die Qualitt ist super, die Batterien halten sehr lange (sie scheint sehr sparsam zu sein) und die Nachsicht ist auch super, wie man an dem Video sehen kann.
Eine klare Empfehlung!
Wir haben uns fr diese Kamera entschieden, weil sie uns optisch gut gefallen hat, man die Bilder auch gleich auf dem kleinen Monitor ansehen kann und sie von der Handhabung einfach und gut ist.
Die Kamera entspricht unseren Vorstellungen. Sie tut was sie soll. Bilder lassen sich auch wunderbar ber den Ferneher oder Dektop ansehen, wenn man sie grsser haben will.
Der Bewegungssensor funktioniert sehr gut.
Das einzige kleine Mango ist, dass die Nachtbilder nicht sehr scharf sind. Aber fr den Preis ist es ok.
Alles in allem ein gutes Gert fr den Preis.
Wir knnen die Kamera fr das Preis-Leistungsverhltnis gut empfehlen.
Die Kamera habe ich gekauft, um zu sehen, welche fremden Katzen meiner Katze des nchtens einen Besuch abstatten. Momentan wechsele ich den Standort der Kamera fast tglich, um immer noch herauszufinden, wo sie am besten hngt. Nachts habe ich die Videofunktion noch nicht getestet, aber tagsber liefert sie gute Qualitt. Unbedingt aufpassen, dass man die Kamera nicht im Testmodus lsst, die Batterien sind sonst ruckzuck leer, ansonsten scheinen sie lange zu halten.
Was mich strt, ist, dass man die winzige Speicherkarte nach unten in die Kamera hinein und heraus nehmen muss. Die Gefahr, dass sie auf den Boden fllt, wenn die Kamera fest installiert ist, ist gro.
Straightforward to use, clear images of cats, rats, birds, rabbits in garden.
We use this in our garden for a bit of fun. We have had two foxes, and 4 badgers all in one night. If use video mode, need to replace batteries alot.
This camera is great for capturing the Hedge Hogs in my garden at nigh
Bought this camera a couple of weeks, pleased with performance so far. After sales service excellent following up queries promptly with helpful advice.
Wir dachten wir haben ein Marder auf dem Dachboden, da es in einigen Nchten doch sehr laut war. Nach
einfachem Aufbau der Kamera, SD rein, Uhrzeit einstellen, Sprache auf Deutsch, Kamera auf ON und Feuer hat sich herausgestellt, dass wir es doch nicht mit Mardern zu tun haben, sondern mit einigen Musen. Die Kamera hat super ausgelst und die Bildqualitt ist auch super. Man muss halt bedenken, dass wir es hier nicht mit einem Hightech-Smartphone zu tun haben, sondern mit einer Wildkamera. Sollte man ja eigentlich schon am Preisunterschied bemerken…
Good quality and night vision detects motion really well and any problems or questions were answered straight away and felt with promptly good customer service
We use this to see the hedgehogs in our garden.
I am very pleased with this trail camera. For a budget camera it is as good as more expensive examples I have had in the past. Easy instructions and the company is very good to deal with.
This is an excellent camera and at a great price, cannot fault it. Very happy and we can now see how happy our hedgehogs are with the food we leave for them.
I had a couple of problems getting started but this was easily rectified by contacting the supplier for advice and guidance. First problem was date and time not showing on recordings, then continuous recording at high speed so a few batteries wasted but 3rd attempt produced perfect recordings. Make sure you read the booklet carefully as I’d missed out a ‘test’ section!
Arrived safely and got it going immediately, easy to set up, although it does need 8X AA batteries. handy to have tree straps and pedestal for set up options. Works well in light and in the dark, the night vision is clear. Overall very pleased with it. Allan C.
Wir haben uns eine Wildkamera zugelegt da seit circa 5 Monaten ein Tierchen sein unwesen in unserem Garten treibt und unseren kompletten Gartenzaun bereits zerlegt hat.Also wurde die Kamera in einem schnen Winkel positioniert und fr mehrere Tage drauen aufgestellt um denn Bandit zu ertappen und herauszufinden welche Bestie nichts besseres zutun hat wie meinen Zaun zu zerstren.Tglich kontrollierte ich die Aufnahmen und nach Tag 4 wurde tatschlich ein Bild von ihm geschossen und etwas verwundert war ich schon ber denn Gast(siehe Bild).
Nun zur Kamera,sie ist absolut leicht zu Bedienen und bekommt ihre Energie ber 8 AA Batterien,die Aufnahmen sind gut zu erkennen und da auch bei Nacht.
Die Camouflage Farbe ermglicht es die Kamera auch nicht gro zu verstecken sondern sie Recht offensichtlich auf zu hngen da sie schwer zu erkennen ist.
Easy to setup. Really like that you can view pics on camera without having to remove SD card and install in SD reader.
Does what it says on box no can do photos
After contacting the seller with a problem, they responded very quickly with advice, very soon had the problem resolved. Excellent service, would recommend this product and supplier. A very happy customer.
Have set up in garden near to the bird feeders. Excellent photos and videos of the birds.
Really pleased with the camera
Easy to order and operate for the tecnically challenged pensioner! great to check the resuts and see the fox etc activety at night and variety of birds at dawn . immediate responce your customer team when asking for details of the photo card needed ie a micro card rather than a larger camera card, think you should offer to sell a card with the trail camera to avoid having to delay waiting on another amazon package. a great and unusual prese
This camera has excellent motion detection & provides clear, quality video & stills at night. I don’t use it during the day, but I’m sure it would be equally as effective.
I compared this model to a cheaper alternative that was 35 (see first photograph). I am happy to say this one excelled in comparison. There was much less noise, the picture quality is better and you can see a lot further with it’s infra-red. The second photograph is a screenshot from some footage taken off this camera, the third (with the time stamp) is the cheaper model. I solely will be using these cameras for their night-vision videography so that’s what my review is based upon. If it continues to get great results I may consider more for a future TV series I am currently working on.
The Good Bits:
It takes 8 AA batteries vs the 4 on the other one. Although this seems like a con at first it definitely lasts a lot longer – so less battery changes! Combine this with rechargeable batteries and its a win win. The video feed is a much wider 1920 x 1080 which is standard nowadays – but cheaper versions you will have to crop into the already bad video quality.
The Flaws:
The main one for me is that the screen is on the back of the swinging door. Because of this, you have to sort of peak into the camera whilst the door is still open to get a glimpse of a camera angle. This angle is then ruined when you close the door as obviously, by closing it, you have just altered the camera angle… Unlike its competitors, a lot of other camera brands have the screen on the inside or on the outside directly like the comparison model. This allows you to view the precise angle with 100% accuracy. So bare this in mind if looking to buy this camera.
Another flaw is that if you want to use the screw mount on the bottom with a tripod, its simply not doable. If you look at my last photograph, you will see that there is plastic blocking the screw so it will not sit flush and could potentially damage the product.
The last thing is that I would like to see cameras like this produce .mp4 files over the outdated .AVI files as .avi disrupts workflows for video editors etc. However, if you’re just browsing on your laptop then you should be fine – although may need some software to run this outdated codec.
In terms of successfully activating at the right time to get shots Id say this is 60-70% accurate. Although this is for my specific garden and may be much more accurate in different conditions. I often saw the back end of a fox or an animal just about to walk off-frame. I will be fiddling with my settings to tune this further.
Overall the video quality of this camera is excellent for a trap camera. If you’re mounting to trees with not much care for the precise camera angle, then this camera is 100% for you. It’s a great price and arguably has better quality than some of the most expensive brands out there and is miles better than cheaper alternatives.
I hope you found this review helpful
Thanks!
Very helpful customer service people got me up and running.
The camera is really great day or night.
We bought two of these for our garden, and are delighted with the photos we’re getting of the various visitors who come calling. We have them set to ‘always on’, and to take three pictures and 10sec of video at highest settings whenever motion is detected. A month or so in, and we’re still on the first set of batteries.
One of the two cameras developed a fault, but I can’t fault the customer service – they had me run some checks and tests, try a firmware upgrade, and then – when that didn’t resolve – immediately shipped out a replacement (which arrived within a day, is working faultlessly).
Would absolutely recommend.
The VANBAR Trail Camera has exceeded my expectations in terms of quality of images and video. After moving the camera around the garden to capture night-time visitors caught some good video of white-tailed deer. Would recommend for those seeking to see what goes on in their garden’s after dark.
Easy to get set up and review what’s been recorded
This camera in my mind did not justify the money spent on it. I have another camera similar from another at half the price and the build quality is so much better. Saying that this one does give quite a good night picture.
Having tried other cheaper cameras this one does all it says with sharp clear videos and pictures and movement response.
Superb unit, easy to use and great results, would recommend
The camera was easy to set up and use.
My only complaint is that the infra red lamps glow a dull red when lighting a subject at night which tends to distract more timid animals and also draws attention to itself if it can be seen by passers by.
Arrived quickly. Easy to set up. Good manual. Nice size. Controls easy to use. Motion detection & night vision works well. Picture quality is surprisingly good, especially in daylight . I got wildlife footage the first night I used it.
Die Kamera wurde uns von einem befreundeten Jger empfohlen. Die Bedienung ist denkbar einfach und anhand des Displays weitgehend selbsterklrend. Die Aufnahmen sind gestochen scharf und der Sensor reagiert bei der kleinsten Bewegung. Auch an der Qualitt der Videos gibt es nichts auszusetzen. Wir hatten die Kamera installiert, um festzustellen, wer unseren Garten auer unseren Katzen noch besucht, wenn wir nicht Zuhause sind und waren mit der Auswertung sehr zufrieden. Das Produkt ist daher vorbehaltlos zu empfehlen und auch der Preis ist gerechtfertigt.
Trail cam was shipped fast, I ordered it and received it 2 days later. Comes with everything that it says it does. Tried it out last night and it works great! Definitely recommend. Would buy again. Will update my review if anything changes but first impression is good!
This is my first trail camera and I am delighted with my choice. Enough functions to cover all my needs but easy to set up and use. I use at night for Badger watching and the night vision is really good. When using at home in the garden the D500 can be connected to mains with a 12v adapter which is ideal for saving on batteries.
I can’t think of anything more I would need for wildlife watching.
I gave this as a Christmas gift and haven’t had any feedback yet. It looked alright although the instructions were a bit brief and would have been better if there was a bit more detail. Not everyone is tech savvy
The camera does exactly what it says on the box good quality product literally can’t fault it. Recipient of the camera as a gift loves it have been told the night vision quality is good and that the camera works well instructions on setting up the device are easy and simple to follow so far havee been told that Recipient of the gift found they have more wildlife than they previously thought they had in their garden.
I bought this camera to see if I could get some night shots of the local foxes in my garden. Seems to be a well made product. Easy to understand instructions explaining options available from menu. Photo, Video or photo plus video. The length and quality of the video can be selected from menu. Loaded batteries and inserted memory card ( not supplied). Set up all the functions from the menu. Attached it to my shed with the supplied mounting bracket. Everything worked exactly as described. After leaving the camera overnight I got several videos. Lots of cats, but I got some excellent shots of the foxes. Am very pleased with this product as it may be basic but it was cheap and well made and does what I bought it for. Looking forward to more night shots of Mr Fox.
Gave this to my husband for Christmas. He set it up with ease. I bought a set of rechargeable batteries as others said they worked fine and all good so far using them. He set it up in our garden first to try it out. It was left out for a few nights and did record some action! It was easy to connect to the computer to view what had been recorded. We have yet to try video function but photos are good. So we have a cheeky blackbird hopping about as in the photo. The picture was great, very clear when taken in the daylight. The only other thing that started the sensor was our cat! The picture was blurred but only because he had gone up to the camera so closely to check it out! Then the sensor detected him move away so we got a great shot of his tail. Another time he must have jumped down from the fence as the camera detected his movement and we can spot him creeping along the lawn! Nighttime shots are not as good but to be expected as it is dark! Really enjoying this new ‘toy’ although it is a lot more than that. Looking forward to taking it to our allotment as it backs onto fields where we have seen deer and hare along with the pheasants and numerous other birds. Very happy with purchase.
This is good value, good quality, straight forward to use and I am very pleased with the purchase.
Waiting for son to call and set up, but it looks a great product, I’ll report when set up
Easy to set up – takes a nice photo – awaiting done great wildlife shots
Bought for my daughter who isn’t very tech savvy as a birthday present. Simple to set up and use.Too soon to say how long the batteries last but doing ok at the moment.
It has confirmed she does have a visiting herd of deer in her garden. Well chuffed.
Nice compact camera. Does what it is supposed to do.
I bought this camera for using in my garden. After quite extensive research I opted for the Vanbar D500.
Really impressed with it. Manual is clear and instructions easy to follow. The camera itself is sturdy and had a well made feel to it. Controls are simple and is say straightforward for anyone to pick up and use straight away.
Package comes well equipped with different ways to mount the camera etc too. I like how you can set it to take photos, videos or both at the same time.
Quality of image and night vision is high too. Delighted with my purchase.
As non technical pensioners we found the instructions fairly easy to follow and by using the supplied straps we managed to capture images of two cats, not a surprise, but also a young fox was a surprise!
Happy to continue experimenting with camera and exploring further experiences.
Easy to set up using the clear instructions, the strap is better to use than the stand which seemed rather too flimsy & susceptible to movement in wind. However the strap clasp broke when tightening it up, so I just knot it together which is fine. The view angle is somewhat limited but clear enough & once I’d set the timer to nighttime the image is clear enough. It kept getting triggered by waving plants & an umbrella cover, so once they were moved out of range it was better. So far nothing out of the ordinary has been seen, the usual foxes & our cats but I will change the position to see if I spot other nocturnal visitors.
Received camera happy with my purchase cant wait to start capturing wild life
Finally I went my farm and put on. Didn’t catch anything. Will keep updating.
The camera is so simple to set-up and to use, which is great as I purchased as a gift for my elderly parents. The picture quality is really good and easy to move around to record different locations. Great product, arrived on time and the customer service team have been really helpful in setting up the warranty. Couldn’t ask for more.
I bought this as a Christmas gift. My husband is more than happy. He has used it already to catch some unwanted night time visitors to our garden. Very clear pictures of a nosey rat! He’s very pleased with it and said it was easy to set up
This is a great little camera for a starter, we’ve used it to see what sort of wildlife is around after dark in some woodland on our land. The amount of batteries isn’t ideal, but solar powered wasn’t possible for the location we wanted to use it.
I use a Nikon D7000 as my regular camera, and I was surprised by the quality that ‘this camera produced. I have only had the unit set up in my garden for two days and I have been surprised at the different birds and animals that it has snapped.
I am looking forward to setting it up in the woods and other locations.
Ordered on Christmas Day, delivery day Tuesday, arrived Monday !
Set it up, easy instructions, easy to use.
Watched it back and got excellent quality video.
Watching playback on laptop gives great detail, that can’t be seen on the small screen.
Really pleased with this purchase and service.
It looks ok, haven’t actually used it yet. What it doesn’t say in the sales pitch is you actually need 8 batteries, which aren’t supplied and an S D Card which isn’t supplied, so still got to get the card .
After a little confusion with the power supply. Do not use 1.2v rechargeable batteries – Use 1.5v this is a great camera.
I contacted Vanbar on Boxing day and was surprised to receive a reply the same day with helpful advice.
On the first day, we had 20 videos, we are still learning and now need to place the camera in a better position.
What fun it is to find out what happens in our garden when we are not there!
I wanted a simple to set up and use garden wildlife camera. The Vanbar d500 does this job admirably and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to photo the nightly visitors to their garden. Read and understand the instructions however before using it for real
My wife bought me this as a Christmas present and it was very easy to set up ( batteries a bit tight to get in ). The camera it replaced was no where near as clear. Caught this image the second nigh
Really pleased with this camera.
I use this for pewt control to track rats, squirrels and foxes etc.
Uaed in the rain in Scotland and surviced which really says something.
Also had in loft spaces and night vision is impressive.
No issued with batteries but not teied rechargeables yet.
Generally does not use a lot of battery as mainly set on motion sense mode.
Pictures are quite good but its not exactly what you use it for aa we all have phones for that.
This is an excellent camera trap, good quality images and excellent night vision. The sellers customer service is also prompt and effective.
Received the camera yesterday and tried last night in my back yard. The picture quality is excellent. Very easy to setup.
Placed it in my backyard ..captured hedge hog n fox once . Kids loved it real fun for them
Going to place somewhere to capture something super natural stuff
Wir hatten Zeitlang Probleme das irgendein Tier abends im Garten ist, deswegen hatten wir uns entschieden diese Wildkamera zu kaufen.
Auch wenn man Zeiten einstellen kann, wann die Kamera aufzeichnen soll, haben wir uns entschieden die Kamera in Dauerbetrieb laufen zu lassen.
Was eigentlich nicht gerade zum Vorteil war, weil 2 Hunde und 3 Katzen oft durch den Garten lief 🙂
Aber eine 32gb Speicherkarte, hat Trotz Aufzeichnung unserer Hunde und Katzen im Schnitt 4 Tage gehalten. Die Hunde waren halt sehr Aktiv.
Was sich bei uns herrausgestellt hat, war das abends ein Marder und ein weiblicher Fuchs durch den Garten lief.
So konnten wir eingrenzen warum die Hunde abends angeschlagen hatten.
Die Kamera hat eigentlich alles was man braucht, ist Wasserdicht und auch wenn die aus Plastik besteht, ist die Qualitt sehr gut.
I bought this trail cam so i could see how much and what type of wildlife was getting into my garden currently because I thought I had it pretty blockaded from animals.
This camera works great I could clearly see where they were getting in.
It was easy to view the footage and hang back up.
I was worried it would eat thru batteries but it has not so that is amazing.
I will be using this going forward as a hunting trail cam so i can see if there are any big bucks traveling thru my property.
This could be used to watch your house if you were worried about your someone on your property it can be easily hidden.
Overall very happy with my purchase and will probably be buying more in the future.
Will try to post photos as I gain more field experience with this thing, but so far, so good!
Used to check what wildlife used my garden. Caught many birds and confirmed night time visits by a fox, seen clearly through the night vision mode, so black and white.
Purchased this camera for the hunting season, looks like it works very well so far. Clear picture and video.
Works well. Really good quality. Does video and stills. Excellent value. See pic. Mr mouse on third pot on left.
This is a 5 stars camera ! The night vision is just perfect. Easy to use ! I put this camera on one of my site and I caught a wild turkey on camera ! (Bottom right corner). I use camera at all my site. I’m going to replace them all by those cameras !
This camera is built solid, easy to use menu, good lasting battery. The side sensors work well capturing a wide range in front of the camera. A lot of options available in menu for picture size, time lapse, security code etc. Comes with mount, not really good for tree but strap works well. The sensor picks up movement at a great distance, over 60 feet and clear day pictures. Night pictures not as clear at low res but good on high res. Would recommend this camera to friends and family.
Bought this to watch hedgehog house at night. Instruction manual very unclear but worked it out by trial and error and a couple of weeks later managed to capture pictures of hedgehog and other visitors.
Camera worked well for a few months capturing some great wildlife imagery but then failed to power up despite new batteries. I raised a complaint with Amazon initially and was advised to deal with Vanbar directly and their customer service department resolved the issue replacing the faulty camera with a new unit very promptly. Thank you Miya
The recorded when photographing a wid animal very clear and great night vision.
This camera worked very well for a couple of months and took some great photos but then suddenly wouldn’t turn on at all. We contacted the manufacturer directly about the problem, and they dealt with the issue very efficiently and sent a replacement camera promptly – many thanks to Miya at VANBAR!
Great item, easy purchase and fast no fuss delivery. Simple to set up, just waiting for some great nightime shots. Already got a glimpse of the fox that visits my garden and a photobombing pigeon.
I was given this as a birthday present so I could watch the hedgehogs in our garden. I have had it for a month now and it has given some wonderful footage of the hedgehogs and foxes. I was surprised and impressed at the quality of the pictures, both night and day and was also pleased with how easy it is to use. One thing I was not sure about was how long the batteries would last but I am still on my first batch of batteries so I’m impressed with that too. I absolutely love my wildlife camera and have used it every night in different areas of the garden. UPDATE: Since I wrote this my camera has failed. It no longer works for the full duration of the times set to and doesn’t seem to work anymore when I turn the timer off either despite having new Duracell batteries installed. Very disappointed! I would not recommend these as I notice that other reviewers had had similar experiences. FURTHER UPDATE: It worked fine last night so maybe a bit intermittent. Not sure why so carrying out further testing.
Easy to set up and use.
Great images and videos of foxes in the garden.
User friendly. Had a problem with my camera and they immediately sent me a replacement. Very good service, would certainly recommend them.
Bought this camera to leave in my backyard as I have recently had a pest messing with my bins. the camera worked so well, it was raining on the night and it captured the fox and recorded everything so clearly. so happy with this camera
My wife always complains about the garden has some strangers. Her garden plants always got eaten and damaged. So we bought this and saw raccoons and rabbits. This camera’s high-quality night vision and motion sensor, as well as the 20 megapixels, are features we are excited to use. Both the photo sequences and the video capture are high resolution and high quality, including at night. The motion detection sensitivity adjustment works well, so far pretty impressed with its diversity.
It is a fantastic gift for my husband and he really like the design and functionality of this wildlife camera. Delivery is very fast as well.
Set up was really easy. Picture quality was better than expected. Remember to also purchase batteries.
No where did it ever say it took a mini SD card I wouldn’t have bought its to hard to get in and out and even harder to get out in freezing Canadian winters. I lost one the first day had to get my wife out and find it for me in the leave below the camera the tree was on.
I thought this had failed, but it turned out to be a faulty new battery. Everything is fine and great videos!
Original review. This was a surprise buy for me. My friend told me about a hedgehog in my garden and I got this camera to get a photo, but I got a surprise when a squirrel turned up. It has great pictures of the squirrel and a magpie and I’m waiting to get a photo of the hedgehog. I had an SD card in an old camera and I just had to buy eight batteries. I’m used to cameras but the manual explained everything. I’ve tried video as well and it is very clear. Can’t wait to see the hedgehog.
Works well for my amateur needs. I had to get a s/w upgrade from the manufacturers to make timed recordings work… but very fast and excellent support… new firmware next day easily applied.
Camera excellent and has captured fox and hedgehog on my patio (at night).
Good value.
If you are a animal lover and would like to take pictures of birds or other mammals in the dark then this is the camera to go with
When you need to watch what’s happening around this system is really amazing. Easy to use and perfect.
I’ve been using this item for nearly a week, trying to catch a fox in my garden! Battery life has been excellent and the motion detection was on point.
The first thing that attracted me to this camera was its stated versatility. Having spotted badger tracks and a pine marten feeding at dusk, I wanted to set up a camera with clear night vision, which could be mounted in various positions and which would be able to stand up against adverse weather conditions. This camera has stood up to the test so far and is very easy to set up in a variety of different places, the included tree mount is very useful. I’m looking forward to capturing plenty of night-time wanderings.
Excellent trail cam for the price.Takes clear video and photos. The sound quality is also outstanding.Far better than any other camera I’ve had over the years. I’d give it a 5 star plus.
I use this camera to see what wildlife visits my garden when I’m not home and at night.
Brilliant camera.
Easy to set up.
Super quality photos and videos.
Didn’t realise Deers visit my garden at night.
Highly recommend this camera.
A great wildlife camera. It includes a couple of mounts. One is for a tree or post and the other is a metal mount which allows the camera to be rotated. Both are of qualty construction. The camera itself is well built and includes the compartment for 8x AA batteries (not included). The screen is clear and the menu is easy to navigate. You also need to supply the micro SD card for any storage of captured footage. A user manual is also included, which is easy to understand.
The image quality is sufficient. You can see the animals or leaves well when the wind blows. The motion sensor will capture even the smallest movements. Seeing as we are not in the WiFi range for a camera that supports WiFi, this was a no-brainer for us.
We had a lot of animals in our backyard at night,so we decided to buy this product to capture what was happening.I would say the camera is very easy to set up.Since she has started using it ,she has recorded a lot of foxes and hedgehogs.The animals just don’t understand that there’s a camera and they give some natural shots.Cheaper than other alternatives and considering the image quality, I’d say it’s an inexpensive product.8
I put this up a week ago. So far we have seen baby foxes playing at night time birds that to this day I don’t know the name off and a squirrel that keeps stealing the birds food. Honestly love watching all the little critters running around our garden and honestly suggest that anyone that loves wildlife gets one of these cameras. You certainly will not regret it!
I did find it really easy to set up and use and it was made super easy to use. Recording quality is amazing too, to be honest.
I have set it up in my garden to see if any rodents come at night and with the help of this I have seen it.
The VANBAR 1080P Trail camera records high quality video and takes high resolution 20MP stills. It has an array of customisable settings and it has an IP66 waterproof rating. The device takes 8 AA batteries which aren’t included, but it does come with a 32GB SD Card for storing footage.
The motion sensor is quick, the recording kicks in very quickly and the footage captured is really good. It also comes with accessories for positioning or mounting the camera including a tree mount and belt. Overall value for money is pretty good and I love the wide angle shots the device gets.
Great product for the money.
It’s been put down at farm near woodland to keep track of wildlife around. And it worked pretty well. Easy to setup, comes with strap, instructions and screws etc to mount. All you need is batteries and good to go.
It’s a good bit of kit for the price and works well.
Only thing is the motion sensor doesn’t kick in as immediate as i’d have thought, mainly at night but that could be down to power or my positioning.
Would buy another without hesitation.
So far so good. Been installed a week and have discovered I have two hedgehogs visiting not the one.
Exciting to watch. Excellent quality footage.
I have literally loads of videos already!
Can be set up to take photos and / or photos and videos.
Would recommend.
I purchased a trader card and played through a laptop to view / download.
Enjoy!
Wir nutzen bereits seit ca. 6 Jahren Wildkameras, haben also die erste Generation mit damals noch 8-12 MP, das Upgrade auf 16 MP und nun die erweitere Sensorik und die MP von 20-30 in allen Facetten mit erleben “drfen” oder in machen Fllen auch mssen!
Damit htte ich, “galant” bergeleitet und die Hauptmerkmale der mit 20 MP agierenden Wildkamera von Vanbar hier bereits mitgeteilt, in etwas ausfhrlicherer Form geht es aber natrlich auch.
Zuvor jedoch ein ganz wichtiger Tipp meinerseits: Die SD Karte (welche im Lieferumfang leider nicht enthalten ist) sollte, unbedingt formatiert werden, da ansonsten weder Fotos noch Videos aufgenommen werden. Sofern keine Formatierung vorgenommen wird, zeichnet die Karte nicht auf. Bei Verwendung, egal welches Herstellers, sollten die SD Karten die Klasse 10 Norm erfllen.
Ich hatte als Vorgngermodell zuletzt unter anderem die Apeman H45 welche in mehreren Vergleichstest 2019-2020 als Preis-Leistungssieger hervorgegangen war bei den Cams unter 100 Euro sowie die Victure HC300 im Einsatz.
Diese hatte ich seit Januar diesen Jahres im Einsatz, hatte hier aber immer wieder das Problem, dass sie zuviel an den Batterien bzw. den Akkus gezogen hat (egal ob Marke oder No Name). Die Trail Cam von Vanbar war preislich aufgrund der guten Spezifikationen und des ordentlichen Zubehrs sehr attraktiv und ist meiner Meinung nach gerade bei Tagaufnahmen Qualitativ hnlich dem Modell von Aldi aus 2019 gestrickt und funktioniert bis dato ohne “Dauerzug” an den Batterien also fr den Otto-Normal-Nutzer sehr gut.
Aufnahmequalitt:
Beste Ergebnisse erzielt man hier bei einem Aufnahmeabstand von ca. 6-8 Metern Unterschiede ergeben sich letztlich nach meiner Beobachtung lediglich in der Anwendung bzw. der Einstellung der Kameras (Auslsungen etc.) sowie der verbauten LED’s (hier LOW Glow) und der Sensorik.
Diese ist das Herzstck einer jeder brauchbaren Trail Cam. Wichtig noch zu wissen, dass bei einer Low-Glow-Aufnahme lediglich ein schwaches rotes Licht im Bereich der LED entsteht, welches Tiere nicht aufschrecken lsst!
Die fr mich ansonsten wichtigen Parameter sind:
– das die Kamera dank Infrarot-LEDs primr tagsber sekundr aber auch hin und wieder Nachts aufnehmen kann
– der Blitz der Wildkamera tatschlich Low Glow (nicht zu verwechseln mit Dark Glow) ist
– die Kamera ohne externe Stromversorgung betrieben werden kann
– das Gehuse auch wirklich wetterfest ist
– speziell die Tagaufnahmen Fotocharakter aufweisen (bei Nachtaufnahmen muss man in der Preisklasse einfach Abstriche hinnehmen)
– ein vernnftiges Energiemanagement, sprich das die Batterien nicht innerhalb weniger Tage leer geaugt werden
Alle vorgenannten Parameter werden durch die, sehr sauber verarbeitete und auch in der Menfhrung (abgesehen vonm Deutsch-Englisch-Mix) und anschlieenden Sicherung des Bildmaterials bei direktem Anschluss an den PC, angebotene Kamera erfllt.
Die Kamera verfgt ber das eher standardisierte Arsenal an Zubehr macht aber alles auch einen haptisch sehr soliden Eindruck. Die Mglichkeit die Cam auf einem Stativ zu positionieren ist gegeben, aber mittlerweile bei den meisten Modellen am Markt standardisiert und wird auch vorausgesetzt.
Einzig die Nachtaufnahmen wirken teilweise recht “grobkrnig” was die Cam bei einem hheren Kaufpreis letztlich die Bestnote kosten wrde, fr meine Zwecke reicht es dennoch absolut aus und aufgrund des wirklich guten Nutzermens, welches innerhalb von wenigen Minuten verinnerlicht ist, sehe ich ber diesen Makel hinweg.
Die Nachtaufnahmen knnen in einem Radius von geschtzten 5-6 Meter noch als gut bezeichnet werden, hierber hinaus verlieren sie mit jedem weiteren Meter sukzessiv an Schrfe.
Fazit:
Eine fr diese Preisklasse sehr ordentliche Trail Cam, die smtliche Erfordernisse erfllt die ich bentige. Tagaufnahmen sind hervorragender Natur, die Nachtaufnahmen im Nahbereich bis maximal 8 Meter “ausdruckbar” und zum Vorzeigen geeignet. Hierber hinaus lediglich als Kontrollbild zur einfachen Visualisierung nchtlicher Besucher geeignet. Fr den Preis von unter 90 Euro ein echter Glcksgriff gewesen.
