This item arrived safe and well packaged.I needed a wildlife camera in order to obtain evidence of some foxes in my garden. My neighbour is adamant that she has seen some... but I think she is just going cuckoo!!I have set this up attached to my fence. I used the included strap as a temporary fixture. But if you wanted a more permanent fixture, the brackets are included too. Open it up to install batteries and memory card, then it seals up fully with the clip on the side. Totally weatherproof!!I have reviewed all of the footage so far. The pictures are crystal clear! I really wasn't expecting much from a box like this, but I was very pleasantly surprised! It has so far captured a few other nocturnal creatures, and I have some amazing footage... but no foxes yet!I highly recommend this product.

This is a camouflaged camera designed to be strapped to a tree or a post to record the local wildlife covertly. It comes with a fairly long green webbing strap for this purpose as well as an adjustable camera tripod for other mounting options, it has a standard 1/4 tripod thread on the rear and bottom for this or any other camera mounts you may have.It has a small 12 volt dc input at the base hidden under a rubber cover, no power supply is included but that is because it is designed to be used with batteries as there is rarely mains power in the woods where this is designed to be used.Batteries are also not included, you will need 8 x AA batteries but you should get a few months use out of them.The camera is hinged and two catches hold it together, there is also a place to use a padlock to lock it together.Once opened you can see the batter compartment on the rear and the controls and a small led screen to set up the camera and to playback any recordings & to view photos. You can also of course remove the SD card and insert it in a computer. It takes full sized SD cards, I use a 128gb Class 10 card, for hd video recording Class 10 is essential.One odd thing I noticed was you can’t access the menu unless you have a card inserted, no biggy but an unusual one that’s all.In the set up menu aremode selection - photo, video or photo & videophoto size 16mp or 12mpVideo size - 1920x1080 24fps, 1920x1080 15fps, 1280x720, 848x480 or 720 x 480Photo amount - 1 to 9Video length - 10 to 180 secondsInterval timeTimelapse on/offSide PIR on/offVolume Rec on/offAuto Power off - off/3/5/10 minsBacklight timeFlash LightTimerDate & TimeTime FormatTime StampCamera NamePasswordLanguageTV OutForma SD CardReset to FactorySystem Update/InfoAVI files 1920 x 1080 @ 26mbps 24 fpsAudio 128kbps 8,000hz 16 bit mono.1920 x 080@24fps for 30 seconds = 99mb

Having owned a trail camera a little while now of another brand but much lesser specification than this one, I can state straight away this is one big step forward from that ‘basic’ model. It comes with everything you need such as a nylon strap to secure to anything appropriate that makes it very handy for securing to most items found around the garden etc. as all you need then is set of batteries (8 of but so far seem to be lasting quite well with its 24 hour usage) plus a SD card of choice, all contained in a smart looking, descriptive box plus the instructions in English and German plus a very helpful 3 page ‘quick set up’ guide with illustrations in English. Once read up on, loaded with quality batteries, a 16GB SD card it was then sited outside on the wall close to some plants we have on a trellis frame and unless you know its there, it blends in very well due to its camouflage pattern casing that gives a quite wide view. The trigger response is very quick - light years in front of our other ‘basic’ model - with the infer-red sensor working very well indeed - with its central and two side sensors it catches just about everything in its range. The quoted 16 mp sensor/lens makes a good job of the day time photos with the quality of the night time ones (in black and white) not lagging far behind. There is a video setting (1080P HD video with good sound recording - we could detect footsteps on the gravel on the path!) which we tried to see how it worked and its as good as the photo side plus unlike our basic model, it has a built-in colour viewing screen you can view your shots on, which is very impressive as you don’t really need a computer to see them on initially. All in all, a very good package with a competitive price of around £58 (reviewed mid November 2019) makes it quite affordable, more so considering the specification.

Included in the box is the trail camera, a very long 2 meter fabric strap to tie the camera to trees/fence posts, a tripod mount, USB cable. You will need to provide 8xAA batteries and a SD card 64 GB Class 10 yourself.The camera looks durable and well built out of the box. The side locks that hold the camera closed gives a good seal around the camera providing a IP66 waterproof design. The camera was very easy to install in our garden using the provided fabric strap mounted the camera securely around one of our trees. Unfortunately we had a little trouble setting up the camera as the instructions are confusing and badly worded. I was unable to view images on the cameras internal screen so had to keep removing the SD card and using it on a PC to view any images.We have yet to capture any images of wildlife due to the winter weather, however I have managed to capture several images of myself visiting our bins. It appears that this camera is not only for capturing wildlife but can also be used as a security camera. The camouflage design makes it hard to spot so it's perfect for this purpose. The daytime images are HD perfect quality. The nighttime images are of poorer quality due to the grainy appearance however the focus is still sharp.

I was so excited to get this as I have been getting a nightly visit from a hedgehog and I wanted to capture it on camera. Sadly no hedgehog (a bit late in the season now tbh) but I did capture one of my cats in the act of carrying a rat!I used an old (ish) 8GB SD card that I no longer use by SanDisk (Ultra II SDHC). I also used Amazon Basic rechargeable batteries with high amp given the length of time this would be in use even with auto turn off.I selected the mode that captures both photo and video. It was easy to set up and the menu is pretty clear & intuitive.In the morning I noted there was condensation inside (on the screen and the batteries were very cold to the touch) but then it's the first week of November and temperatures got as low as 7°C overnight.The battery power was in the red despite being high amp and with auto turn off after 3 minutes. So it's a very power-hungry device. Depending on the frequency of use you'll be going through an awful lot of batteries.Overall though I was very impressed with the easy setup and the results. Highly recommend.

I have used this straight away in different parts of my garden to try and get the best angles for ground creatures and an owl that visits feeding on the mice so not fixed properly yet. First morning I looked showed a huge rat feeding under my bird table but since then I have seen mice, hedgehogs and a fleeting shot of a barn owl, early days yet. This is one of the best trail cameras I have tried, easy to work and set up, good picture quality and decent video resolution. Motion triggered I also use for security purposes but needs to be hidden well , Needs batteries and SD card ( not included ) 8 x AA and 64 GB card or above. The last camera I had was set off by heavy winds and rain but this one seems ok in the bad weather we have had . I think for the price this is a decent wildlife camera and will give lots of fun.

I've been interested in what kind of wildlife traffic I get through my backyard during the night and thought some game cameras would help solve that mystery. After buying a couple memory cards (32GB max size for these cameras) and a few nights of letting them sit I can say that I have a fox and quite a few deer! The instructions were pretty simple, and setup of the cameras was easy. I strongly advise setting the time if you want to get a valid timestamp for when the pictures of wildlife are taken. I liked the feature where you could format the memory card in the game camera itself. The night vision isn't infinite, but I got a good 20 feet or so out of pictures it took, which should be enough. The camera's blend in well, so if you're worried about them being stolen, it shouldn't be that hard to disguise them.
