The wildlife camera I received as a Christmas gift from my children. (They Know me well) has been a fantastic addition to my allotment setup. I’ve always wanted to know which birds I had coming to my allotment bird feeders as after each day they are empty. Now I know why and which birds I need to cater for. Here’s a list of the best features I found whilst using it over the last few weeks, along with some of the footage I caught.
- Compact and Easy to Mount: Its small size and lightweight design make it super simple to set up, and the long strap is ample enough to fit securely around larger trees as well as small. It also came with a wall mounting bracket so could be used for home security too, which can also be used as a stand on ground level.
- Convenient Connectivity: It’s easy to connect the camera to my laptop with the supplied cable, but what really impressed me is its built-in WiFi and Bluetooth. This allows me to connect it directly to my Android phone within a certain distance, making it a breeze to download videos without needing to remove the SD card.
- Customisable Settings: The camera is highly versatile, letting me adjust the filming times to shorter bursts to save on storage as the birds tend to come and go very quickly. I can also tweak the sensitivity so it only records when there’s meaningful activity, plus you can also set the times you want it to record between so can again be tweaked to periods of time that you know animals will be about.
- Filming Quality: It takes clear images and video in colour during daylight hours and black and white image and video at night with its 22 Ir LEDs. PIR distance of 65ft. Operating Temp of -20DegC to +60Deg C, so will film in Snow as well as sun. I tried it in the snowy weather we had and it worked fine.
- Built-In Storage: The camera came with a 32GB memory card already installed, which is plenty to get started. I upgraded to a 128GB card for personal preference, but the included card is a nice bonus.
- Efficient Battery Life: My rechargeable batteries last about 24 hours on video mode, even with frequent recordings in cold weather. It does say in the user manual to use 4 x High Performance 1.5V AA alkaline Batteries and avoid 1.2V Rechargeable ones as these drain quicker. So with the better batteries you should get more time before battery changes. However you can also attach a 6V 1.5A-2A trail camera solar panel. (Does not come with camera) but will be something I am going to look into as I’m all for renewable energy where possible.
- Secure and User-Friendly: The easy-open clips make accessing the camera simple, there are two holes to put a mini padlock through if you want to lock it in the closed position for extra security. Setting up the camera was very easy. Download the TrailCam Go App from your smartphones mobile app store. In my case Google Play store for android. You can add a password to the app and to the camera for extra privacy.
- Waterproof IP66: I have now used this camera in minus temperatures, snow, wind and rain and it held up to all weather conditions well. No moisture entered the camera, so that’s a thumbs up from me.
Thanks to this camera, I’ve been able to capture everything from robins and blue tits to the occasional Murder of crows!, and it’s been so rewarding to see all the activity, I would have otherwise missed. All in all, it is a great starter camera and does the job I wanted it for. Whether you’re a casual nature enthusiast or a dedicated wildlife watcher, this camera has everything you need to get started—and more. Highly recommended!
