Good Quality Picture
We have 2 other of these trail cameras and they all cost roughly the same. Although it has been a year since our last purchase we feel that this camera is quite a lot better than the others - here's why.The actual video quality is crisper and brighter and as we generally use these at nighttime, where our foxes and hedgehogs come into the garden every night, it is important to us to get the best quality videos we can. The actual photos are very good too, far better than our other two cameras.The menu system is easy to understand and set up. So far so good - however there are a couple of niggles:Firstly as the quality is superior to our older ones, the batteries don't last very long. We use good quality re-chargable ones 8 x AAs and they tend to last one or possibly two nights before they need charging again. They say batteries can last for months, but unless you are only taking photos, and you are like us and love to video your wildlife, our rechargeable ones only last two nights with this camera tops. If you use say Duracell you get several days worth, but then the batteries are finished with. Much better to use rechargeable ones - make sure they are good quality and hold a high charge. Fiddly but so very worth it in the long run.What I really do like is the information on the recordings. Time, date, length of video and temperature, although don't expect the temperature to be correct. For instance last night (very cold) one video showed 23 degC and the next, 10 seconds later showed 7 degC. But that's just a niggle, nothing more.As it records sound too, this is ideal for scuffles and mating time as some of the noises, especially from the foxes are amazing.Although the camera is showerproof, I have made small stands that keep the bulk of the rain off, so this makes sure no rain gets on to the lens, thus spoiling the videos. An important issue is the SD card capacity. On the ad it says up to 64gb but on the instructions it says 32gb - which is what I have gone for. As we check the recordings every morning, a 32gb card is ideal - a lot cheaper too.So there you have it. A trail camera that does a fine job, is sensitive enough to pick up mice as well as hedgehogs and gives a finished product that you will be happy with. Even if the nighttime videos and photos are in black and white, in the daytime you have full colour by the way, the quality is more than good enough. Recommended.
