Using it for human surveillance. Too bad it's so exposed as it must Not be behind glass to trigger. IR sensors don't work thru glass. Physics always wins. These long-duration cams only turn on long enough to take the picture, unlike plug-in cams that use the continuous video to detect a trigger thru glass, that would kill the battery quickly. IR sensors of trail cams are passive until triggered and can run for months on AA alkalines. So, if you want to monitor from inside, you must use timed triggers. This nice cam is fully configurable for both. Outside, unlike animals, humans will simply destroy it or steal it if they see it. Paging thru thousands of photos on the cam is possible, but using your computer is much better as scanning software can quickly find the triggering offenders. Each picture is a fantastic high def thing. Over 81,000 16K photos fit on a 128GB card. 1080p HD video can store over 14 hours of HD video of your favorite 2 or 4 or more legged subjects. Cheap alkaline batteries took a 16K photo, every 5 seconds, 24/7 from 2PM Thursday to past noon on Saturday in rapid time mode. Walmart has 8 AA cells for $1.97. Works great.The no-glow leds are powerful past 100 ft but you need a 12VDC cord, not included curiously, to power them for long recordings. Animals will never know they are shining brightly at them as this light is invisible to them. Movies of maurading coons emptying my trashcans are undisturbed in total darkness. Not sure which animals can see IR light.

A good camera for the money, good started cam.

I am very pleased with this camera. I bought it based on other reviews' positive statements about the night vision. I own 2 other brands of cameras. The night vision distance and clarity on the kf is far superior to my other cameras. Day pictures are crisp and clear. I haven't used the video function yet. The only downfall is the size. I wish it came in a smaller, 4AA battery size. Which is what I was shopping for when I saw this on kf. I decided better night vision was more important than camera size. I also somehow set the password without knowing it. Not sure how I did that as this camera is very easy to set up and use. I emailed customer service @ 7:30 at night. Thay got back to me within an hour with instructions on how to reset the password. And they wrote back to make sure things were ok the next day.

This item was at the cheap end of the trail camera price spectrum. However after returning a more expensive and frustrating wifi camera I figured I'd give this a try.

The design and menu is pretty similar to all the other devices out there. It takes micro SD cards instead of standard size. It does not come with a USB lead.

It mostly took pictures of waving bushes but they were clear enough.

I haven't owned it very long but it was very easy to set up and the videos are beautiful. I use it to watch wildlife in my woods and field. I have 4 other trail cams and this is BY FAR the best.

We bought this to check out what happens during the night out the back of our property.Setup is very easy and intuitive, the strap works well to fix to trees and it has proven to be waterproof (after a very heavy downpour).I've attached a short video of a Coyote wandering around in the early hours, which came out clear enough to see.The pictures during the day are crystal clear.Very happy with the purchase and the quality!!

Perfect for capturing the wildlife in our garden.

We really liked the camera - put in the batteries and a large memory chip. The could choose video or photos, we wanted it only to work at night when we were asleep. It takes up to 128GB, which is a lot of video. As you can see from the video, it looks great and is sensitive enough to start taking video right away and while the raccoon was there for a long time, it kept on videoing and got all the action. The raccoon did take a nap between feedings and there was a gap there, but it was on our deck for 1:05 and it was pretty hilarious and instructive about what we need to do to keep our feeders from being ransacked every night without getting rid of them altogether!

We had a family of raccoons destroying our back yard. Good grief they were digging holes in the yard every night looking for bugs, and making a racket playing around with each other. I set up the camera on the fence and the jerks would crawl up there and UNTIE the strap and try to haul the camera away! So I obtained an aluminum bar that fit into the square strap holes and SCREWED it to the fence. I made sure there were no screwdrivers lying around or they would have stolen my camera again. I got excellent videos of them sneaking into the traps, reaching over the trigger, and stealing the bait. They knew what was up with that.I wish I had kept the videos. In one video, the raccoons were playing around like kittens. So here's a photo of the bar that I happened to have from something I disassembled. You can get a bar at the metal scrap yard for cheap or nothing or pay through the nose for one at the hardware store. Remember not to over-tighten the screws and snap the plastic. Plumbers tape might also work, and that would be better for mounting on a tree or fence post.So after they kept messing with my camera strap, I bought a doggie ball and hung it by a strap from the apex of my step ladder, hoping to record the raccoons playing with the ball. Nope! Nothing doing! They looked at that ladder with great suspicion, walking around looking at it from all sides. They just knew it was a trap and wouldn't come near it.

I have been using trail cameras to scout deer in MI since they had 35mm film in them, have always looked for a balance of quality and price. I do not need a camera to produce superb pictures I can blow up and frame for the wall, just need to accurately see what is happening in my area and have it be reliable in all conditions. I need a camera that performs as expected and is priced where I can get several and can count on them for 4-5 years of 5 months of typical conditions in the woods.I previously had been using Browning cameras with great success but recently they have gone up in price. I was looking for another option when I came across this one at kf. I was skeptical when it first arrived, so I set it up at home to test and was very impressed with the trigger and the distance it detected movement. In the first photo I attached, the subjects have bushes masking their movement and it still caught them in between. The distance to the fence is roughly 90 feet. It produced multiple shots like this over the course of an afternoon, even as the light faded. The other photos show examples of in field day/night time performance.I have placed my kf Trail Camera in the woods about a month ago and one thing I have learned is that these triggers are almost too sensitive. They easily detect long grass moving in the breeze and harsh changes in sunlight. I had to relocate accordingly. Fortunately there is a setting to change the sensitivity (low/medium/high). I left mine on high as I would rather it trigger too much than not when needed. These cameras also have side sensors which I think is a great idea to give the camera a chance to wake up as a subject approaches the field of vision for the lens. Night time shots seem to be good, with the occasional purple cast to the photo. I have not yet tried video. I will update when I get more results and opportunity to test all the settings/features.In summary, this is an excellent camera in terms of price, features and trigger sensitivity. I would recommend you give it a try. Daytime photos are excellent. Durability has not yet been determined and video testing has yet to be done.***UPDATE***One thing I have found is on the highest sensitivity settings you get a lot of false triggers/pics with no animal movement. I changed it to medium sensitivity and it works very well. I actually bought another one and they are the best cameras I have in use now. I am very impressed with the nighttime photos and the general trigger time of these cameras. Including a couple more photo examples.
