Ok for the price, photo quality is not outstanding but okay
The cam comes in the usual format and the controls don't differ too much from other cams (on/off slide switch at the bottom).
The menu navigation is also available in German (English preset) and the basic settings can be set up quickly. There are other formats where you despair. Here you can easily walk through from above and set everything up. Very good.
Also positive: batteries (8xAA) are included, as well as a 64GB SD card.
The SD card should be enough for hundreds of recordings. A jpg with the setting 48MP requires approx. 14MB.
You can go down to 5MP, so 64GB should be enough for a long time.
Video resolution ranges from 640x480p to 3840x2160p, I didn't test it because it's not interesting for me. At the highest setting, at least the "time-lapse setting" specifies 8MP. So not too high anymore, in video mode. As I said, not relevant to me.
Basically, the usual settings are possible here: sensitivity, number of images, duration of video recording, response time (0.2 seconds according to the manufacturer), etc.
Let's get to the recordings.
48MP sounds great at first! Higher resolution like some, professional DSLM, drones are beaten anyway, and that for 70 euros!
The image quality itself is no longer that great.
Certainly good during the day, see photos, but at night the whole thing falls away quite a bit and you can only see shadows. The excerpts are cropped to approx. 100%.
If you just need the pictures to look at them, everything is ok. When it comes to enlargements or sections, it becomes critical and you can clearly see the out-of-focus areas.
Of course, this also has to do with the optics. Clear.
In any case, the detection range is good, according to the manufacturer:
detection range of up to 120° and a detection distance of 25m
(although I doubt that you can still see anything at night at a distance of 25m. The rabbit was about 4m away, night shot). The night lighting probably no longer exists there either.
What really bothered me was the plastic equipment: fasteners, screw connections, "tree claw" - the ribbing at the back of the mount, all made of plastic.
I would have liked a little more quality, especially with the closures.
It also comes with a strap and a hook that can be screwed into wood, for example, and then the cam can be screwed onto the floor with the 1/4" thread (like with the recordings). The thing is made of metal and I found that very practical. However, I wasn't able to test whether it would still be stable when animals liked it. It would be worth a try ;-)
The cam costs around 70 euros and I think it's pretty decent.
Price-performance is therefore ok, image quality would only be 3 stars for me, only 2 at night
. If you want better image quality, you should choose higher quality cams.
Certainly well suited for occasional “monitoring” of the garden or individual areas.
