Great picture, good price

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2022

I am on a greenbelt and have a lot of wildlife that we don’t see much. I put this on the deck and the quality of the pictures are much better than I expected. It is comparable to another unit we had by a well known manufacturer of outdoor products that was twice the price. Good value here.

I don't think it's picking up motion well.

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2022

I don't think it's picking up motion as well as it should. I put it out on my property where deer are known to travel through and sometimes bed down. The attached vid shows a deer for a couple seconds. In a weeks time, I got that short clip, a clip showing nothing and two pics showing nothing.

I only changed one factory setting is set up: I changed to pics and vids rather than either alone. So, it's not like I went into the settings and changed a bunch of things. It didn't the already mentioned 2 pics and 2 vids are the only things I got in a week. No robins hopping along the ground looking for insects, no rabbits, no racoons, not even the neighbors dog that goes across my property every day. To make matters worse, it didn't even pick up me and take pics/vids of ME when I walked right in front of this game camera as I was spraying some trees for insect pests during the week it was on.

I don't know what to say. Maybe there's a setting I could change to increase its sensitivity to motion - but, if it's not going to detect me (a 200lb man walking back and forth in front of it with a sprayer) I don't know what setting I could change. Another thing - the manual is decent for a Chinese product in that it uses fairly good english to explain how to get into settings and change things, but it doesn't tell you what those changes will or won't do.

So, it picked up a deer once and took a short video of it, but didn't get things it should have gotten - like me!

Whole Lotta Batteries

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022

Color: StoneVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

The media could not be loaded.

It’s amazing how many batteries this cam takes but if you leave that aside, this is a good camera for the price and we haven’t had to change out any batteries. Something that would be easy on the deck but more troublesome if you were a hunter and had to trudge out into the woods.

Our use (Pluses and Minuses)
=========================
- we’re birders and we used the camera on our deck to capture pictures and images of the local fowl. We were looking for up-close images rather than shots of a salt block and activity that would normally be farther away.

- to get the most out of the camera for our purposes I set it to record 3 stills and then do a burst of images. The adaptability is very useful.

+Set Up
- setup was pretty easy, although we had to move the camera twice to get the images we wanted at the best quality.

-SD card - getting it out is awkward. And worse, the camera kept making the SD card to “write protect”. My husband ended up taping down the write protect tab because that was the only way to get things to record.

+Night vision - images were good.

+Note that in a banner at the bottom you can find the temperature and date, as well as time. Very handy info to see if there’s a pattern of behavior.

IN the pictures I’ve included you can see, at first, the basic wide-lens image followed by three enlargements from the stills. That with the short film should give you an idea of whether this camera is for you.

Easy to set up, Video and pictures clear, Must buy SD card & batteries

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2022

Color: StoneVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I had a neighbor set this up for me since he has experience with trail cameras. He said it was as easy to set up as most. We installed it in our woods that abuts his and the pictures it captures are similar in quality to the ones his cameras take.

I can understand it coming without batteries, but it would have been reasonable to include an SD card with the product. We installed the full 12 batteries (vs. the minimum of 4) and after a little under 3 months, have not yet had to replace them.

Consider added costs

Color: StoneVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

You should know this camera has NO internal memory, which means you must buy a SD card to capture pictures and video. Besides that, it takes 12AA batteries. Consider these items when you are deciding if this camera is worth the cost!
The picture quality is passable. It comes with a strap to attach to a tree, as well as mounting hardware. It also comes with a USB cord. Instructions say you can use this as a digital camera, but I think that would be awkward with poorer quality than a typical phone picture.
