    Purchased to replace an old trail cam, camera’s WIFI feature is a great feature for downloading pictures and videos from this years big dear season without going all the way to where the camera is set up, both night and day time pictures and videos were of high quality, would absolutely recomend!

    Bought as a Christmas present and already revealing the secret nightly garden goings-on (that our dog already knew about, but couldn’t explain!).
    Easy to set up, but we’re still refining. Couldn’t get WiFi to work, but I didn’t expect/need it to.
    I also bought rechargeable batteries and charger, but they didn’t work, because they’re 1.2V each, and the camera needs (8x) 1.5V. The instruction in the box make this clear. I’ve now bought 2x DC power supply.
    Now experimenting with different locations, and we know who eats the bird food (mostly the badger), how the crows manage to remove the peanut holders and much more. Looking forward to hedgehogs emerging.

    Very easy to use. I really like the led screen it has, you can look at the pictures right there.

    I love the clear pictures at night. Daytime was always good in others but nightime always had lines through it. Not this one, this baby is clear. Motion detector is good also. No complaints on this camera at all.

    I do like the camera and the pics are great but I cannot figure out how to stop it from taking all the pictures at one time. Everytime someone walks by it, it would just take pictures over and over. We looked it up and played with the settings but no luck. After taking 100 pics in no time the batteries were completely dead. This happened 3 times. The camera works great but I wish we could get it to work like it should. Any suggestions?

    The wifi feature is annoyingly slow but does what it claims. I find it easier to take my laptop out and just transfer all the files over a USB connection. The image quality is great during the day. Overall I’d buy it again!

    I bought two of these and was amazed at the features they have, compared to previous trail cams I’ve owned. I especially like the WiFi connectivity, which might be an issue for people who don’t have a wide range outdoor WiFi antenna, but these cameras are perfect for my situation.

    My father is a big deer hunter! He needed a game camera that he could see the pictures from his phone and this does exactly that! He was so impressed with how well it worked and how it has built in Wi-Fi!!! We live in the country so we were worried it wouldn’t have good service but it proved us totally wrong!!! It is worth every penny!!! My dad was extremely happy with his Christmas present this year! The pictures have great quality and it’s very convenient!

    To start out, I am not using this for hunting, so I thought that would be an important thing to add. Recently, we lost a chicken to a fox, so we thought we would set this up looking at our chicken coops. We have 7 chickens now, and this is great for notifying us when something is checking them out. Thankfully, we haven’t had to scare any more foxes away, but I am sure this would notify us immediately, as we get notified about other animals that cross its line of sight. So, this makes us feel better when we have the chickens out and we aren’t around.

    Quite pleased with the quality of this trail camera. For a budget camera, it performed well and met my expectation. I’ve had mine for several months now (recording at night only) and I haven’t had to change the batteries yet. I was after a camera with good battery life and sufficient video quality and I haven’t been disppointed so far.

    I received the camera promptly. Setup was really easy using the App suggested. I have had the camera strapped to a tree for a week now and, although I have not seen anything exciting, the 12 or so movements a night have been recorded and picture quality looks good both day and night. The battery life looks to be excellent. WiFi range is pretty good, just as good as my more expensive previous cameras. Very pleased indeed.

    This camera is a very good unit for the money , it takes good quality pictures and video both during the day and the night. Battery lasts a long time and comes with all the fixings to set your camera up anywhere. I had a slight issue with it contacted the company and was sent a replacement straight away. First class customer service.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI am a pro photographer and very familiar with most cameras. I purchased the Vanbar 4k 48mp camera in hopes of discovering the wildlife behind my home. I put the camera out about 10 at night and retrieved it about 7 each morning. I had a house cat, possum, raccoon and an armadillo. I did not expect sharp photos at night. They were ok but just ok.

    I did not use the batteries it came with the camera, they were already dead. I used 8 Duracell batteries and they ran down by the 4th night. I put in new Duracell on the 5th night.

    The 5th night I set up the camera as usual. I retrieved the camera question and there were 2 photos no video. On the 6th night I put the camera out. I retrieved the camera there were no photos or video. I checked to make sure the camera was on and it was. The card was in place and I had battery power.

    The photos I did get in daylight did not look like 48mp photos.
    I put the camera out one Saturday afternoon because I wanted to test the quality of the daylight photos. The camera caught a large hawk come down and pick up a squirrel. It only took a photo but no video. Even with the photo sharpening software I have I could not get a sharp photo.
    11/9/22 Edit of review.
    The manufacture is going to work with me. They are going above most manufactures to remedy my above review of the Vanbar camera.

    The camera seems to be fairly robust and is easy to set up.
    We got lucky on our first night of deployment in having this handsome visitor to our garden. The camera seemed to pick up the movement easily and the quality is suitable for our purposes.
    It takes quite a while to link up to your phone by Wifi and to download the video, but overall we are delighted with this insight into what goes on outside after we have gone to bed.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersI decided I wanted to get a trail cam to watch the hedgehogs in the garden without disturbing them. I spent hours looking at different trail cams and in the end went with this one, mainly because of the price – its much cheaper than others. I’m so glad I did, it does exactly what I needed it for! Great quality video and sound – if you watch this video with the sound on you can hear the hedgehog snuffling. It’s easy to use, and simple to link up to the pc to watch the videos. I love looking through the footage every morning! No need to spend 20 more on a cam that does the exact same thing, I’d definitely recommend this one!

    I bought this product as we live in a rural area mostly surrounded by fields. We keep hearing something rustling in the bushes at night. It appears to be rats, mice and even captured a stoat. I can sit inside the house and watch the live footage going on up the garden. The quality of the picture is very good. The battery life is not brilliant but does last a good few days if left on constant videoing. I would highly recommend this camera and would buy the product again.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI had been looking for a trail cam for a while as we suspected we had a lot of animals coming into the garden at night given the mess they were finding, I eventually settled on this model as its very easy to use and you can connect to it via bluetooth, to check camera position, change the setup and retrieve the images if necessary, albeit I tend to plug the SD card into my Chromebox as that’s easier and quicker to download and delete images if its triggered for cats etc. The quality of the images and videos is superb, there is lots of different settings so you can configure it to best suit your needs, I tend to only capture images between 21:00 and 06:00 otherwise you pick up yourselves and endless cats in my case. I have set mine to use 10 second videos and at the highest resolution and then 10 seconds between activation, as we seem to have a trail so animals don’t tend to stick around, this has provided at least 6 weeks of battery life, which is pretty good in comparison to other models, whilst there is cheaper models about you pay for what you get, hence I would definitely recommend the Vanbar 4K on ease of use, connectivity options, battery life and quality of images. The camera revealed as well as cats and young foxes we also have Badgers ! as well as a few door mice.

    The camera was relatively simple to set up but even when we hit a problem the customer support was excellent in helping us to troubleshoot. Picture quality is clear and it is fun to see the wildlife that visits our garden at night. Batteries do drain quite quickly so we’ll be looking to run an external power source to the camera as a more efficient way of running it Overall a good buy which we’ll be using regularly.

    Ich habe mir die Kamera gekauft weil ich den Verdacht hatte dass sich bei mir im Hhnerstall Ratten huslich eingerichtet haben. Die Kamera hat aus dem Verdacht Gewissheit gemacht. Die gelieferten Bilder und Videos von den nchtlichen Aktivitten sind sehr gut.
    Die Kamera lst zuverlssig aus. Die mitgelieferte SD Micro Speicherkarte war allerdings sehr schnell defekt. Dies bewerte ich jedoch nicht, denn ich sehe die SD Karte eher als Guti fr den Kunden, denn als Bestandteil der Kamera. Die Kamera hat beim einschalten sehr oft gemeldet es wre keine SD Karte vorhanden. Habe die SD einfach ausgetauscht, und anstelle der 32 GB eine 64 GB eingelegt. Seither funktioniert die Kamera reibungslos und auch die bertragung aufs Handy geht viel besser. Gut ist auch: man kann die Kamera mit einer externen Stromversorgung betreiben, somit ist man nicht unbedingt auf Batterien angewiesen. Allerdings ist ein passendes Kabel nicht Bestandteil des Kaufes. Dies muss man sich anderweitig besorgen. In der kleinen Bedienungsanleitung ist Deutscher Text. Auch die Menfhrung der Kamera lsst sich auf die deutsche Sprache einstellen. Fazit: Fr diesen Preis eine sehr zufrieden stellende Kamera.

    Kamera ist sehr geeignet Haus, Garten und Haus zu überwache

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWould recommend this product to anyone interested in capturing wildlife from small mammals and birds to insects and amphibians! Films brilliant in night and day and it’s small, camouflaged design and the fact it emits zero light allows you to position the camera in plain sight without the worry of scaring some of your gardens residents! I left mine on a patio and caught a hedgehog walking past as though the camera is not even there. The camera offers a variety of options and settings without a complicated interface or confusing language that often puts off the technological inept individuals like myself . I’ve had so much fun with this camera despite it bringing to my attention one of our gardens residents a rat! Picture quality is exceptionally good for the price and it’s audio feature is amazing. Very happy customer!

    We’ve had this camera for a couple of months now and look forward each morning to downloading the video to see what surprises have truned up in our garden. Three hedgehogs together was a definite highlight! The camera is easy to use but I would recommend an external lithium or sealed lead acid battery as the regular AA batteries don’t last long if there’s lots filming. All in all we are very happy we made this purchase.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI wanted to see if I’d got a resident hedgehog in my garden, and, thanks to this trail cam, I discovered I have! It was brilliant to capture it going into the purpose-built hedgehog house (plastic crate, wide tube, gaffer tape), where it could get at its hedgehog food without it being eaten by cats.

    The camera has loads of options to adjust sensitivity and video quality, which you can play with until you get the desired result. Higher quality will take up more memory card space and use more battery life. It’s a bit trial and error, and some nights you’ll probably end up with nothing, depending on where you put it. I’d also caution against putting it near any plants on a windy night, as the moving foliage will just keep triggering the sensor, and more importantly, wear the batteries out. It does have a DC input, which might be useful if you have a garden with an electricity point and an extension cable, as the batteries do run out with heavy, full-on use. But if you get the right setting so it’s triggered only for, say, a minute at a time when animals pass – and then also set the interval time between triggers, so it’s not coming on constantly – the batteries should last a fair few hours over many nights.

    It links with your phone, which is good, although the images/videos can take a fair while to download on to it, and the cam does need to be within wifi range to get the live view, so if it’s at the back of your garden it probably won’t connect.

    The picture is sharp and good quality – I think this camera is good value for the price, so would recommend.

    After discovering a bear in my yard earlier this summer I purchased a camera to see if I could catch a photo of them. Eventually it turned into monitoring who was inviting themselves into my garden for an all you can eat buffet. Camera does a decent job for the specs though has a slight issue with focusing when something is too close. I put mine out in July and it’s still on the original set of batteries with most of the battery life left. The app is decent though connecting is sometimes slow and works best if I’m next to the camera.

    There are a couple of reasons why I have bought this cam, to use it where I keep the company`s cars from time to time as cctv and while we go camping(quite often lately) not to see animals but to have a backup video just in case we need it.

    Build in quality:
    It is pretty good and relatively simply to operate once I understood all the functions. The screen it is really helpful to know that the cam is on because once I close it from the outside I cannot tell it is recording which is exactly the point of this cam. The buttons are responsive and easy to operate, when I attach it to a tree I can barely see it(only if i pay close attention to it).

    Performance:
    The video quality is decent but I cannot say it is something to impress even though the cam has 48 mp. The main feature of this cam is the night vision which performs better than I expected. During daytime the video I got is fine I would say, I can even zoom in a bit and still see details. Mind thought, the file size of the recordings is quite large because of the megapixels it has, in my case if I know something happened and I want to check I take the sd card and backup the files.

    Batteries:
    This is a very important aspect because with regular batteries the cam will work a couple of hours this is why i strongly recommend to get rechargeables. I have 2 sets and I change them quite often to make sure the cam is filming.

    Overall specifically for what I need this cam I can say it does a good job.

    cctv and wild camera at the same time!

    Got it primarily to watch birds in our garden but sometimes we set it up to capture foxes or hedgehogs.
    It is kind of like a action camera but with standby mode triggered by move sensors, this is an excellent idea as if not triggered battery last literally forever, even with few triggers per night it does last days in standby mode.
    Picture is absolutely amazing with infrared doing great job even for bigger distance. Setting up and checking results another day itself it’s great fun. Would recommend as we have tons of good video ls and plenty of fu

    We notice the new trail going up down one of the sides of our woods and thought it would be a good idea to set up a separate camera in order to capture whatever was walking past, turns out it’s a deer.

    This wildlife camera in particular seems to have a slightly higher definition than most of the others as well as being able to capture really well at night, as the woods are extremely dark at night when most of the activity happens it’s really important to try and find something that can take decent pictures when there’s hardly any light.

    It came with a decent size 32GB memory card which was plenty for us and didn’t need any upgrades as we cheque it reasonably regularly, they had also has Wi-Fi connectivity so I don’t actually have to open it up in order to cheque what’s happened inside of the camera I can just connect to it from my phone and download anything and check what the storage is like.

    It seems to be able to capture animals a little bit earlier than others too as we can actually see the deer approaching the camera whereas with other cameras we only managed to capture them once they’re almost on top of the camera so it makes for some nice different shots too.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersFirst trail camera purchase. I use it on the back patio of my AZ home to look for nighttime critters. Have seen mice and pack rats at night and a squirrel in daylight. The camera is only about 3 feet from my useless trap(wanted to see it in action) but the picture quality is great at that distance, night and day. I tried to upload videos but it said it can’t because of the format??? I like that you can position the camera by observing its view from your phone, that way you don’t second guess its viewing angle. I like that you can change all the camera settings through your phone, and that you can view, download and delete the pictures or videos from your phone. You can only select the camera to capture photo or video, not both. I have no issues connecting to the camera on the patio from my kitchen which is about 15 to 20 feet away. At a longer distance you may have to walk closer to it but I’m sure it’s better than going to the camera to remove the memory card. I haven’t played with the picture quality or settings, but I did reduce the video length to 15 seconds because nothing was happening beyond that time and it took about 6 minutes to download a 3 minute video. This is my first trail camera so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I feel that this camera fulfills all my needs. So far, I’m pleased with my camera and I plan to experiment with it in the future.

    As an wildlife photographer. I used to capture a variety of photos of wild animals in the forest. I used to spend hours together to capture the perfect shot. Recently, I bought this VANBAR 4K Wi-Fi Wildlife Camera which is a professional camera for capturing pictures of wild animals. This camera is very easy to operate. It is provided with both a Wi-Fi connection and a Bluetooth connection. Now, I can capture photos and videos of wild animals by staying long distances. This camera’s resolution is very good. It provides videos with HD clarity of 4k resolution and also sharp images of 48 MP. This wildlife camera is useful for me to capture videos and images of spectacular nature and document the beauty of wildlife. It can also capture perfect night images and videos with the infrared LED. It can cover 120 degrees and captures the view in a wide range. It is waterproof and hence, it can be used in the rainy season. I am very impressed with this wildlife camera and am totally in love with it.

    Whether you’re an avid bird watcher wanting to get some up close and personal views of birds without disturbing them, or someone just wanting to see which cheeky little creature keeps scoffing all of the nuts/seeds/feed that put out each day/night, this wildlife camera is such an easy way of getting a closer look without needing to be around all the time!

    You can customise the camera’s settings, such as recording length, PIR sensitivity and photo/video settings by (after adding the batteries) flicking the switch to ‘Set’, and then – go figure – setting what modes and such you like.

    The capture quality itself is pretty good for the price point, compared to my previous wildlife camera which cost a lost more and looks basically the same, this VANBAR camera offers significantly better video/picture quality.

    It is a pain to have to use 8 AA batteries, but at least it does mean that if you’re not around a charger/electricity, then you can load up and batteries and keep the camera up and running for however long you can keep swapping out the batteries.

    We put this camouflage wildlife camera in our driveway. Mainly for security purposes especially as the nights are getting longer. It lets us know if anyone is venturing into our property unannounced. The motion detection is accurate and sensitive enough without falsely being triggered.The recording video footage is good especially the night vision. So far we have recorded lots of local cats, a hedgehog and a fox!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWe were having problems with deer eating our trees, berries and garden on our 1 acre lot. We needed to know where and how they were getting in, so I bought one of these cameras and used it in video mode to see when and where they were getting into the garden. Then I bought another one to check on their route in and out of the property. If my spouse let me, I’d buy 6 of them. No more guessing how old the deer poop is and whether that leaf was gone yesterday or not. With this camera you can see their faces. We got to know exactly who and what is in our yard at night (a lot more than I imagined!).

    The Good:
    — They work! The motion detection seems to work well. Don’t point it at a busy road if you value your batteries. It will pile up video after video…
    — This camera works with an app for downloading and viewing the videos. Not all cameras have this feature, so buyer beware. Once the camera is connected to your device the first time, it is easy to reconnect. You can share from the app so there is never a need to remove the tiny memory card.
    — The image quality is good if the target is say 8 to 50 feet away. Any closer and the image gets fuzzy. Any further and the IR illuminator doesn’t reach.

    The Bad:
    — The batteries that come with the camera don’t last long. Don’t buy this for the batteries.
    — There is a temperature stamp on the video that’s just plain wrong.
    — Connecting and downloading videos takes a while. About a minute to connect and a minute per 20 sec video to download.
    — I wish the IR illumination was a wider angle. The field of view is fairly narrow.
    — There is a usb connection but it doesn’t seem to do anything. I’d like to download to my laptop but the app only works on tablets and phones. So download to my ipad and email videos to myself. Not ideal.

    All in all I’m quite pleased. We now have a fence that works to keep the deer out, in part because we could monitor their behavior. And it’s really interesting to see what all is out there at night.

    The night vision is really clear. Sturdy camera with super quality pictures. Can watch the hedgehog on my phone live.

    Super camera with great night time vision.

    As we use this camera to photo the animals that visit our garden during the night it is important to us that the camera is robust and that the picture is nice and clear. Also the video is easy to set up and the picture quality is good. We are very pleased with our purchase and it is being used daily without any problems.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersUpdate: Customer service was excellent. I returned a camera for another due to a defect. Seller sent the replacement camera immediately. Also, I contacted Vanbar as directed for warranty. They placed a warranty on the camera and emailed me to make certain I was satisfied with the replacement camera. The representative was very helpful.

    This is my first trail cam. I use it for wildlife observation only. The daytime pics and video are great in my opinion. Dawn and dusk pictures are also nice. Night photos and video are good and that’s my main use for the camera is getting night footage.
    I left it in the rain twice with no problems. I find the camera has ability to pick up movement no problem as I’ve caught several animals (fox, deer, coon, opossum etc) in pictures. The settings are taking pictures and video just as imputed.

    I’m going to adjust my one star rating up to a 4 for helpful service and the replacement camera is taking better pics which is great. I do find the night camera may not light up the entire photo. I’m not sure why this is. I’m trying to figure out if it’s because I need to elevate the camera just right according to height of animal I’m trying to capture. I think this may be the case. This camera otherwise I believe will be handy for wildlife.

    Ok, I’m new to this however, the night pictures have a black ring around the picture. I’m going to figure out how to upload so I can show you. I’m going to need to return this device unfortunately. *I was allowed to upload only one video. All day time pictures functioning but night time camera and photo have black ring. The film on lense was removed so it’s a manufacturer defect.

    Would recommend this camera. Delivered next day and have set it up on a tripod. Pleased with the picture quality – colour photographs are superb and night vision is equally impressive. Linking to the camera with iPhone using the Wi-Fi functionality is flawless. Registering the two year guarantee was also easy.

    I bought this as I am a photographer and wanted to know what wildlife visited my garden at night, being too lazy to stay awake that long to find out.. This is the first one I have purchased. It arrived well packaged. I think the instructions could do with being a little more in-depth although I find with anything that is made in Japan the user manual should come with an interpreter as their English is little bit disjointed. It took me a few attempts to set it up as I wanted it, just me being fussy, and the results were impressive. The overall Photo and Video quality is good and the night vision is excellent. Would I recommend this? Yes I would.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersWe purchased this camera to find out who the culprit was digging under our garden gates, suspecting we had a ‘Brock The Badger’ visiting. This was confirmed the first night with clear stills and video to use as evidence in the animal court In all seriousness, considering it was pitch black, the images are great and it’s brilliant to see the antics of our visiting friend The camera is easy to set up and connect to your smart phone using the app included, which allows you to view and download captured images. The camera is well made and comes with a 32 GB micro SD card, an adjustable mount and strap for mounting in a variety of situations. Overall a great purchase that I have no hesitation in recommending. Let’s see what tonight brings, very exciting!

    When I registered the warranty I was asked if I was happy with the camera. I’d only used it overnight once and had a few issues with it but the main one was that the pictures were very dark. I got an immediate response and over a few days we checked out possible reasons. We finally concluded it was faulty and it was immediately replaced. The new camera arrived after a couple of days and works perfectly.
    I use cameras to record the visits of our numerous hedgehogs and the occasional woodmouse and this is a great replacement for an older lower resolution camera.

    Die Wildkamera kam samt Mikro SD Karte und Zugband, welches lang genug fr einen dickeren Baum ist. Es werden allerdings 8 AA Batterien bentigt, die leider nicht beiliegen.
    Dazu wird die Kamera an zwei Kunststoffverschlssen per Hand geffnet und aufgeklappt. Auf der rechten Seite befindet sich hinter einer Schutzplatte das Batteriefach. Einfach die Batterien einsetzen und schon kann man unterhalb des Kontrollfeldes auf der linken Seite einen einfachen Schaltet von OFF auf TEST schalten, um diese zu konfigurieren. Hier kann beispielsweise die Videoqualitt und eine Aufnahmelnge zwischen 3 Sekunden und 10 Minuten eingestellt werden. Auch die Empfindlichkeit des Bewegungssensors kann angepasst werden. Die Reaktion der nchtlichen Bewegungen werden sauber erfasst. Auch stimmt die Bildqualitt bei Nacht. Am Tage ist sie hingegen in Ordnung.
    Fr eine Verbindung per WiFi verbindet man sich mit dem WLAN Netz der Kamera. Dadurch hat man dann Zugriff auf die aufgenommen Videos. Alternativ kann man die Mikro SD Karte in seinen PC stecken und sich die Videos ansehen.
    Fr die Preislage stimmt die Qualitt der Nachtaufnahmen. Auch ist die Kamera recht gut getarnt und verhlt sich bei Nachtaufnahmen verhltnismig dezent.
    Wer mehr will, sollte hingegen auch mehr ausgeben.

    Gute Nachtaufnahmen für die Preislage

    Great wildlife/trail camera for a beginner and beyond. Great that it’s supplied with the correct memory card. Feature setup is easy and straight forward via the on-screen menus. I also bought some rechargeable batteries to run the unit as it needs 8x AA – make sure you batteries rated at 1.5v . 5 nights of running it via timed use, 21:00 to 6:00, and it hasn’t even registered/used 1 unit of battery life on the battery indicator, so it’s battery usage looks pretty good. Would buy again.

    Good solid camera. Good camouflage colouring that blends in nicely. Amazing picture and video quality, great footage captured of a badger running across the garden. After getting use to the camera and knowing how to use its features it was straight forward to use. Excellent assistance from the Vanbar support team as had a couple of queries with swift responses from them specifically from Miya. Overall very pleased with the camera and glad I bought this Vanbar product. Would recommend this camera to anyone who is looking to buy a wildlife camera.

    After 3 months of almost daily use, this trailcam continues to work very well. I use a personal 12v power pack which works reliably in both hot and rainy weather. The trailcam is best set up using a mobile to check its position and I use the timer settings so that preparations don’t create any unwanted images. I bring the trailcam indoors to download pics & videos using the usb cable into my laptop. A mobile phone can be used but is much slower. Playback and editing from the laptop is very easy and reliable. I take videos (.AVI) rather than still photos (jpg) as they are more interesting and screenshots can be use to make stills if required.

    An excellent purchase.

    This trailcam works just as I hoped and better than I expected. The performance matches its spec. Downloading pics & videos to my iPhone needed no contact with the camera although videos (.AVI) did take some time. It works just as well with a 12v supply (not supplied) as well as batteries. No problems after 3 weeks of intensive use in my garden, even during showery weather.

    A good purchase.

    I bought this principally to see what wanders around my brother’s house in France and it has delivered extremely well. The daylight video quality is exellent and the night views are clear enough to know what it is that you’re looking at. I’ve never had a device like this before but I have a great many cameras and the quality is better than I was expecting for the money. I have used it in torrential rain without problems but being careful to dry it off before opening the cover is, I would say, a sensible precaution. I use Lithium Ion recahargebale batteries and they work very well. I would be highly dubious of using NiCd or NiMh batteries as the cell voltage is so much lower.

    This is my 2nd wildlife camera, first from this company. I am pleased with the picture and video quality. The camera itself doesn’t feel as sturdy as my first one but it has stood up well to all weathers. I did have a slight problem with it but I had great customer service from Miya and all it needed was a factory reset to resolve the issue. Customer service is definitely 5* for response and helpfulness. I have had it for 3 months now so will see how it goes but so far so good. I have deducted one star from the overall review because it does feel slightly flimsy in comparison to my first camera (different make). You do need to be quite near the camera to download files and sometimes it can take a couple of efforts to connect. Overall though I am pleased with it – one night had badger, foxes and hedgehog when I reviewed the next morning. Would I buy again – most likely.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is a really cool camera, it has been such a great camera to own as we look for lost dogs and sometimes we had to borrow one to find the location of dogs when they are scared. so we set the camera up in places they have been spotted to help us know where the dog or cat is hanging around. You download the APP and it connects by Bluetooth or WiFi. you can then look at the picture of preview thr video to keep an eye out. it is a 4K video camera and 48mp camera for pictures. It has a infrared LED for thr night vision so that the picture is clear at night. it has a wide angle to can capture a good amount of where you need to record. The case is waterproof so you can still record in the rain. it’s been really handy for us.

    Really cool piece of equipment, camera very clea

    In some ways this camera is OK,the instructions are not good,it has taken 2/3 weeks to get it working properly,for instance ,you have to double click to delete photos,nothing in the instructions.
    Camera is used for seeing what is in the garden at night ,badgers,1 very large,could be pregnant, sow and a very skinny fox.

    Got this one after advises to get no glow night vision models, really can see the difference. It can be really discreet to do the job and in same time capture perfect image.
    Images excellent quality, night vision as well, just make sure not to close sticks or tree branches as it could confuse the focus of the camera. If set up perfectly it will capture perfect pictures and video.
    It has build in wifi technology which makes it very easy to transfer images to my phone without removing the memory card. By the way memory card is included in the package.
    Due to its wide angle 3 motion detection sensors it activates quite quick when detects the movement.
    Overall perfect well camouflaged camera with no glow night IR lights. So far very happy with it’s performance.

    Golden Review Award: 15 From Our UsersI purchased this trail camera to go in my garden and spot all the goings on on a night. We have a large garden near woodlands so we get all sorts coming and going.
    This camera uses invisible infrared technology so won’t spook the animals on a night. The night vision picture quality is excellent and everything is clearly visible.
    You can control this trial camera with the app on your phone which makes viewing the recorded content very easy so you don’t have to retrieve the camera every time you want to check it .
    The camera requires 8AA batteries so I would recommend getting some rechargeable ones. I bought a pack of 16 from Amazon so I can have some charged ready to go when the others need charging.
    You even get a micro and card included so you can start recording straight away.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersIch dachte, ich wrde es mit einer Budget-Kamera versuchen. Nun, Sie bekommen, wofr Sie bezahlen. Ich habe diese Kamera seit etwa einem Monat im Einsatz.
    Vorteile.
    Billig und erschwinglich.
    Einfache Einstellung
    Macht gute Fotos/Videos bei Tag
    Kann 1-3 Fotos und auch Videos aufnehmen, je nachdem, wie Sie es einrichten
    NACHTEILE
    Ich habe meine fr 2 Fotos und dann ein 15-Sekunden-Video eingerichtet. Lithium-Batterien halten nur 1 Monat bei 210 Bildern/Videos. Ich werde nur Fotos ausprobieren, um zu sehen, wie lange die Batterien halten.
    Nachtbilder sind ok, aber nicht groartig
    Der Bewegungsmelder ist fraglich. Whrend der Jagd sah ich Hirsche an der Kamera vorbeigehen und bekam nie ein Bild. Er lst also nicht verlsslich aus, aber bei dem Preis ist das okay fr mich.

    Fazit
    Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einer billigen Kamera sind und sich nicht um erstklassige Fotos kmmern, aber sehen mchten, was in der Nhe ist, ist dies gut dafr. Ich bin nicht beeindruckt von den Nachtaufnahmen und zweifle an dem Bewegungssensor.

    Bought the camera to use in the garden to observe the habits of hedgehogs. I needed a good night shooting one.
    This camera is very easy to set up the menu is straight forward and does not pose any problems. I use rechargeable batteries which being a little bigger than standard Alkaline ones are not so easy to fit or remove. Once set up the batteries last about a week before I recharge them ,although there is still some use in them but it was recommended to change them early ,because the IR triggers at night would stop working with less than 35% power available.
    The quality of the picture is really good although night shooting shows everything in grey and white as is usual with trail cameras.
    I had a problem with the time and date stamp reverting back to setup .Contacted the manufacturer and with a qualm replaced the camera. Excellent service cannot be beaten. The replacement one is fine . I think it was a software glitch in the first one which they tried to reset without success.
    All in all very happy with this camera and would wholeheartedly recommend it.

    Golden Review Award: 31 From Our UsersGave 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.

    Works well for us!
