Bigger than expected but it does have to make room for lots of batteries which means you can set it up and leave it somewhere remote for a decent period of time.Motion capture sometimes triggers but doesn't pick anything up, presumably when something moves past very quickly but doesn't stay in shot. But that's a common issue for motion capture features, I don't think it's possible for it to be instant.

I am really impressed with this camera. I have had it for nearly 3 weeks now and it’s cool watching the videos each day. I would never have known that we have a beautiful badger who visits our garden several times a week! Batteries are going strong, quality of images really good. Dead easy to set up and review your data. We have a long dark drive so the other bonus is should someone drive or walk up I’ll can get a very good image of them ! Good product very happy Thankyou

I have taken a massive interest recently in the birds I have attracted to our back garden and bought this to attach to the tree where I have our two large bird boxes because the little birdies move so fast I cannot see what type some are.This really blends in against the bark of the tree trunk and had picked up some great footage in the first few days including a robin that keeps visiting outs and next doors so I’m trying to entice it into our garden more!!It’s really clear picture quality which is activated by the moment of what is in it vicinity and there’s plenty to be stored on the enclosed sd card with a decent memory!!We are going to study the birds and research what foods attract what area they to see,well in our case now get them on film.I bought a cheaper than this which only lasted a few weeks so happily paid extra for a better quality item and it certainly is and doesn’t disappoint!!

Took a long time to set up, as mine kept coming on then a few seconds afterwards it said good bye you had to be quick before it went off, then you had to try again , after a few times I managed to get it working, not Sure how long the batteries last as mine has only been working for two weeks.

I purchased the CoolLife Hunting Camera on the rebound from a poor experience with the CamPark T45 (freezing scroll through, tacky build and irritating jingles). With hindsight I wish I’d gone with the CoolLife from the start.The build is almost identical to most of the other trail cams in that price range as are the layout and functionality. The performance and quality, however have so far been excellent.Set up in the back of the garden on rainy nights, it has captured a range of nocturnals and, staggeringly, a badger we didn’t know we had! I have used the stills setting at max resolution on 3-frame burst and stills & video setting. The latter is a bit annoying since it takes the stills before the video - meaning that the video often only captures the disappearing creature.Another glitch is that the date/time stamp seems to lose a day, meaning that the files are incorrectly dated when it comes to storage. Also, the time stamp on the files does not include seconds so, if ordering them by creation rather than name, the 3-frame bursts may be out of sequence (as they occur within the same minute).Niggles aside this is an effective little product for the price and, in my opinion, markedly superior to the CamPark T45 and T70.

I ordered this as we live in the countryside and I thought we might catch a glimpse of some lovely wildlife when the noisy children aren’t around to disturb it.Sadly, when it arrived my children spotted it and assumed it was part of my super spy kit (I am an undercover agent for MI5, obviously) and decided it needed to be placed in a bush, far from prying eyes, so that it could capture anyone coming to or from our front door. I did try to explain the real purpose of it and that if I really wanted a spy camera for looking at who comes to my house, I would have bought Ring. I would much prefer to capture a fox, a badger or a deer. But no. At the moment it is still a spy camera. So far, we have captured daddy putting the bins out, 2 Amazon men, the postman, the Avon lady and my mother. Nothing that MI5 would be interested in sadly.So my plan is, that the children get bored with trying to capture non existent villains and I can sneak out to move the camera in a better place for wildlife and capture something lovely.I like this camera. It seems weatherproof enough and the pictures are crystal clear. It’s also really easy to use, let’s face it, if I can use it, then anyone can! I would recommend it to others without hesitation.

This is the first time I brought a trail cam and I have been impressed with the limited time I’ve been using it.The video resolution on this cam is crisp and clear and with a HD resolution of 1080p, it is more than enough. I find that with 4K resolution the images are spot on and full of detail but the memory size cards needs to be substantially bigger. Meaning you need to buy bigger memory cards or several more.1080p in my opinion is a far trade off.The photo images on the 16mp cam is concise giving the image a natural feel without over exposer.I use this trail cam as a surveillance as well as a wildlife cam and so far is hasn’t let me down, the PIR works well, I’m not getting a false alarms on rain and wind.The build quality is good and it has a good weight to it, there are straps and mounts to help you attach it to posts or trees.As this is my first trail camera I didn’t know what I was expecting but I’ve happy with it so far.

Good camera, takes a bit of getting to know, but got some amazing results. Good to set up to identify those who fail to clear up dog fouling
