I have had some good results with this camera and got shots of badgers and foxes on the garden.I had to update the firmware to get it working properly, even then it had issues with displaying 0C 32F constantly as the temperature when it was not. It also stopped recording video before the 25 seconds set was up. Serious software issues.Now it has developed a bad connection between the battery compartment and the camera, so it is dead.I bought it in April for £89.99 and 3 months of very glitchey use before dying is just not good enough.If you can afford it buy a better one, but I don't know which.Updated as the suppliers have now provided a replacement, a slightly different model which works perfectly.

I purchased two of these cameras on 12/03/2018, based on the generally favourable reviews below. I regret that decision. Each of these Crenova cameras has malfunctioned and is now inoperable, due to firmware faults and fragility of the contacts for reading the SD card. Updating the firmware, changing batteries, changing (micro) SD cards - none of it helps. Whilst I got about a week of use out of each camera, I have now chucked these in the bin.By way of background, I have and operate (because of the nature of my job) 12 Stealthcam and 4 Bushnell trailcams. These have been consistently reliable. The Crenova cameras are dreadful by comparison.

Great camera! I have had this camera a few months now and I am so pleased with it... I have discovered there are hedgehogs who come through our garden every night and several different types of birds which have been captured on the camera both eating and some beautiful ones of them in flight.Very user friendly and the customer service team are amazing!

Very good picture quality and I got some super film of hedgehogs in my garden. Sadly though it has now stopped working and I am rather disappointed.

This camera arrived with 24 hours of ordering, that's simply amazing. I have set the camera up and with any new product I went through a learning curve. To actually programme the camera to what picture you require, whether video, camera or both, I found to be a very simple thing to do. The instructions for the camera are very good and the camera itself seems robust. I experimented with various modes and positioning of the camera, different settings to avoid false recordings by tree branches etc worked well. After 3 days I was receiving clear and very interesting results. Didn't realise I had a fox living in a hole in the garden, I have a large garden and this was in some rough ground at the bottom of the garden, also other wildlife including birds on the ground in the dark, I never knew they were that active at night. Overall a great product, coupled with great service, what more could you want ? Price is I think very reasonable for this quality product

Super camera! I bought this assuming it would be rather basic for the price but it turned out to be really good value for money - all the functions you could want and excellent performance. I've only had it a short time but I've already found what was leaving its 'calling card' outside our back door every night and seen what an amazing selection of wildlife has been visiting the garden while I've been sleeping. Also discovered that many of the creatures make a surprising amount of (quiet) noises while they explore our garden and pond. I wish I'd bought this years ago.

This camera is identical from top to bottom to the Apeman which I also have. The Apeman was cheaper but totally outshines the crenova for video quality which to be honest is bloody awful. I will persevere trying different options but don’t hold out much hope. The graininess is totally unacceptable at 1080p which is a shame as this camera was recommended to me.
