This video totally changed how I think about trail cameras and how I am going to set mine up! Thanks for being honest and putting this together. Great information!
In this segment of the hunting industry, trail cameras are a hot topic. There are good cameras and bad, and after seeing this video, completely changed the way I understand them and appreciate the honesty for which he spoke of. This is a great company, I hope to buy one of their cameras when they become available again. The picture and video quality is very impressive. 👍🙏🦌
Thanks heaps. I have decided to get a trail camera and have been researching for a few weeks, then I get confused and my head hurts! Especially when the description on the device reads like a great device, but when I read the reviews, mostly bad, 1 star. It does my head in. I am glad I cam across your video. Cheers. :-)
Love your cameras I picked one up last year, ran it from sept - Jan not one issue, simple easy to use and top notch pictures. I’m a resident of north east ohio and, I look forward to picking up a few more. Thanks for the informative videos. Hopefully I will have my pad set up for cribs and have a opportunity to share so Ohio studs with you guys.
chadsyl23 for sure I just bought a house in mineral ridge/ north end by meander reservoir, I come home from stx to sign July 4th. Looking forward to it, completed basement just needs all my heads hung. Thanks for the comment and look forward to talking more with you guys
We wish we had them in stock as well! We will have more cameras available later this month. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter on the bottom of our website.
l just wanted a camera to watch my yard at night and after watching your video it has given me so many things to look for in a camera. lt seems simple enough for me to be able to understand how to work one. Thanks
Thanks for the primer. I would respectfully suggest that you should have had an ELEVENTH point: Communication methods, i.e. wifi, Bluetooth, cell account requirements. Is the imagery only accessible via the SD card? Is the imagery accessible via wifi or Bluetooth, or do you have to set up a cellular account for the camera. For me, these issues are perhaps the most important. Steve
Steve, I completely agree with you. My wife and I retired last year, sold our home in the country and fled Commiefornia. We re-settled in the land of Dixie, a way down South in the land of cotton. I am 62 years of age and my hunting years are somewhat numbered. The one area I intend to hunt is about 90 miles from my home and I can not go back and forth every day, every other day to check my trail camera. With my Toyota Tundra, gas alone would be $40.00 round trip to check those trail cameras. Even if it was $20.00, just saving a couple trips would more than pay for an upgrade to decent cellular camera and the subscription fee. In this day and age, being able to have quick access to the camera images is the most important factor to us folks that do not have a farm, ranch or cherry-patch to shoot deer from. If one intends to use a trail camera, it does not make sense to not have a cellular camera. Just going in and out of the area to check the SD card only increases the chances of blowing the area out with your presence. Maybe the deer did not notice your scent, noise or mug on one trip out, but the more you are there, the more sign of your presence you are going to leave behind.
thanks for your honest and to the point info about these types of cameras . I am new to this market because I am not a hunter , but ; I need a camera in a remote location for security purposes as I have been having problems with vandalism and trespassers in a location away from my home . I am now more able to understand what I need and better select a camera for my use . great video for anyone investigating the use of these cameras !!!
Thanks for tuning in! Be sure to check out our offerings on our website. Exodusoutdoorgear.com or call the office if you need some assistance choosing the best camera for your scenario
I love these trail cam videos! Thank you Chad for these. For the last year or so they have helped me on all my cams. A lot of the info you are sharing is universal and the more you compare all brands with the new knowledge your cams get an edge over your competitors no doubt.
I’m a new homeowner who frequently has deer, ducks, geese, coyotes, and who knows what else visiting their yard on a regular basis. I was researching a trail camera when I saw your video. Thank you for this video! It’s done well and is extremely informative. You’ve made a future client out of me. Cheers!
I would consider myself a trail camera connoisseur. With that being said, I really enjoy these videos. I know most of the gimmicks other companies use, but I appreciate the honesty. I will be buying a Exodus camera to try. I use Cuddeback, and stealth cam currently and I haven’t found one I love.
This video saved me a lot of time and effort. Informative, comprehensive and transparent. Much appreciated! I checked your web site and saw that most of your cameras are out of stock. Hopefully that changes soon.
My mother was impressed by my iPhone 11 camera and was asking how many megapixels it was. Because her phones camera claims to be 48 megapixels, but the photos are terrible. Had to explain to her that megapixels don’t really matter anything around 12 is good.
I believe mega pixels is one of those marketing gimmicks, especially in phones. When I bought a digital camera about 10 yrs ago the salesperson at Circuit City told me that anything over about 12 mp (and it may have been 8 mp) is overkill and does not necessarily produce better photos.
I can't give a definitive answer, but I'm thinking that while white flash will indeed be more noticeable to wildlife, it will give color pics at night (albeit probably odd looking color because it is night) AND animals are use to lightening flashes so it may not spook them so bad. ??? I wonder which flash uses the most battery life. Just thinking our loud.
L Koehn thanks man! We’ll do a short video on the paracord and how we are using it. Basically we just tie a double figure 8 on one end and the string the tag end through, pull tight, and tie a simple overhand knot.
I am new to trail cam. My objective is to see what wildlife is roming my land in Maine. I live on a 2 acre plot of land. I observe dear and wild turkey in the morning hours. I DO NOT HUNT. I am just curious to see what is roming around my house. What is the best trail cam for me? I do appreciate any guidance you can provide.
I'd like to be able to record approx 30 miles away with real-time notification to my phone. Can I do that with cell camera or SD card only. Which is best? TY P.S. MY KNOWLEDGE ON THESE IS OBVIOUSLY VERY LIMITED. TY, GREAT VIDEO!
I really learned a lot from this video. But, I have some questions about using your product for home security purposes. Any chance I could be contacted regarding this? I'm retired and NOT tech savvy! Lol Thanks.
Are these going to be restocked anytime soon? Was going to purchase 2 game cams in the next week or so and came upon these...but looks like not many people have luck getting them 😕
Reconeco, kunuk a Canadian company also has a an absolute great camera designed for Canadian cold weather conditions, this camera has a lifetime warranty no questions ask against manufacturers defaults, not saying your cameras aren't bad but your you're warranty at 5 years as your stated are not the best in the business, maybe in the USA but Reconeco is the best in the business warranty wise in canada and by the way these cameras are tough.
I have a neighbour that's a known problem, my boundary is 600 feet long with him. I'm in Canada what do you recommend as I'm wondering about battery performance in cold weather. You said you would answer questions if asked here ! Thank you.
I need one for Home Security that will go off on my phone to let me know but I want one with a large PRI heard that was best... I bought a Muddy manifest 16 megapixel 80ft got the Stealth cam app. But night pictures are not that great it does catch a few cars going by on the street some blurry a lot it goes off a lot and there's nothing there they pictures are pretty good I'm having problems with neighbors across the street I'm single woman I live alone and I'm looking for any advice that you could help me with I live in a small town in Oklahoma don't have a lot of big stores around but I could really use some good advice please and thank you
I am looking for a trail camera that will take color photos day and night. The last trail cam that I had (Cabelas White Flash) would take 1,000-1,200 photos per day, mostly of nothing even when it was relatively calm. The same model camera that I owned before the last worked great and excess photos was not a problem. Can you suggest a model that will fit my needs?
Great question! Do some cameras have a setting to ignore squirrel and bird size detections??? That would be a big deal to me! For example, I'd love to be able to set my camera to detect and photograph only say bobcat size animals or bigger, nothing smaller. This would be a fantastic feature! Perhaps a camera that can ignore wind also, based on repetitive motions maybe?
The best indicator is always the reviews. Make sure you read all the bad ones. I have bought quite a few different trail cams from varying companies at varying prices. More money definitely does not make a camera last any longer. Some very cheap cameras work better than some expensive ones. But night shots are certainly not equal nor are they as good as advertised on most cameras. Battery life always depends on number of photos or movie clips. The worst thing about trail cams is water damage. Buy a cheap insurance policy when you can. At least you can get your purchase price back if it craps out before the warranty.
Please get some more of the $145 cams in stock lol I want to start using cams and I no there isn’t a better cam than a exodus. I just don’t want to pay 200 sum on my first cam. And it’s public land
I have 6 Renders and am pleased with them. But buyers should be aware that there is a monthly data charge + $7 monthly line charge per camera. I am presently on $30 per month data plan which is plenty for pics and probably 30-40 videos of 30-45 sec. My cost is $72 per month: 6 cameras x $7 monthly line charges + $30 = $72 per month.
Yeah I don’t pay a lot of attention to megapixels cause the best camera I’ve ever had so far was a $35 tasco from Walmart and i believe it was 6 or 8 megapixels. Lasted 5 years without hardly being out of the woods before moisture finally set into it
Great points on some myths that I personally had wrong... thanks... I do have a question on shadows and unclear pics mainly on field edges occurring in transition times (early mornings and late evenings) where some cameras tend to perform with more clarity than others.. . so with that said, is this more a result of "settings" or is this a matter of something else I could be doing (specifically with my Exodus cameras) to improve clarity during this crucial times of the day...
MrJimbo1212 great question. With transition photos/videos you are relying 100% on the image sensor and lens for the quality of data. With that said the light metering on the camera has everything to do with when your camera will take transition photos/video. If the camera is in a shaded area, that will happen earlier in the eve and later in the morning. If the camera is direct sunlight it’s the opposite. So long story short, it’s more about the camera placement and environment than the camera settings. We’ll do a video on this topic, it’s a solid topic.
@@chadsyl23 Thanks Chad for clearing things up...it has been a challenge on some field edges (especially where both strong shadows and hard sunlight both occurr in my viewing area at prime time and look forward to all the videos you guys put out... take care, Jim Reed
@@chadsyl23 Sue and I are looking forward to it.. on another note, we started a cool contest this week between Sue and I ...we are calling it " trail cam wars" where we submit our two top pics of the week (sue has her sets and I have mine) to a group of judges (our hunting posy) and they rate the pics not knowing who's pics are who...cumulative total at end of the summer wins...I can't disclose what the winner gets - but the recipient will be grinning ear to ear.. lol...take care Chad
Never ever get a highwild trail camera. I bought one last year, and ended up having to have it replaced 4 times. IN the case of all five of the devices, they all failed to even power up. I dont even know if they still in business. I ended up after a 4 month odyssy with highwild getting a refund, and they didn't even want the camera back. Apparently those devices aren't cameras, but rather just battery holders with a bunch of led lights on them.
Any idea please why my trial camera produces both light and darker pictures at night in ir mode. I have tried chancing the ir range, but this makes no difference.
@@ExodusOutdoorGear But not for Lift II or Trek. Too bad. I am looking for WiFi app (not cellular). Most apps have very poor reviews. Scoutek is an exception.
Can a trail cam, advertised to contact my cell phone so that I don't have to approach the cam to retrieve the SD card, do so if the camera is set up in an area that has no cell service?
Good question - if the camera uses cellular service, no the camera cannot complete the command without signal. It’s just like your cell phone. If you don’t have signal you can’t complete texts/calls
Is there a trail cam that I can set a start time? I can only get down to my area that I film at in the early mornings to turn it on and go get it the next morning. I want to be able to set it to start at 5 pm and turn off next morning. It videos birds and branches moving all day long.
Trigger speed, I hate always getting the ass end of an animal rather than the whole animal in a video. I started using the Browning pro xd a few years ago and have changed all my camera due to the trigger speed.
I am a photographer! I bought two of GardePro A8 (latest) from Amazon, believe in me none of these cameras worth a penny! Unless of course you just want to see some visual. The quality of specs they offer not even 720p, photos are NOT 16mp nor even 4mp just a screenshot of what’s being grabbed from that 720i (interpolated/ upscaled) image. Think of these details which I mentioned when you buy one of these or else you’d be very disappointed. Besides of all, Wifi only works under 10m or 32ft distance. Sensor/s misses the action, leaves in a wind triggers the camera/s. Frustratingly cheap items made in China (yet again) and shamefully sold in Amazon! 😣
why don't they make trail cameras that can use rechargeable double a batteries, so I bought one that takes 8 double AA so if you use rechargeable that's only 1.2 volts each battery compared to regular alkaline which is 1.5 volts, so a total of 12 volts with regular and 9.6 with rechargeable, why not make a extra 2 battery slots so you can use the rechargeable 10 batteries 1.2 X 10 = 12, that has the total voltage as with the alkaline batteries 8 X 1.5 =12, with the trail camera I got low battery is only 9 volts then the camera wont take infrared photos at night because too much power for the IR light mine has like 16 led
I'm a woman who lives alone on 10 acres and I have a peeping tom on my property, can anyone recommend a great trail cam??? So I can take footage and capture his face and body? I just purchased solar motion lights, night vision goggles and have my dad in town to help.
im not a hunter but i want to see whats in a very peticular spot i feel something was off when i was there a few months ago. and then i had a dream i need to put a cam up in there
I have run 5 treks and one lift here in southeast Alaska...they do well in the wet and cold, and can honestly say, I haven't had a camera fail me...yet. I leave some of these for 9 months. I like the treks simplicity!
Can’t build anything in American anymore and make any money. I would love everything to be American made, but a $100 item would cost $400 for the exact same thing if made in America. I’m sure if everyone was willing to pay $400 versus $100 we would see more American made items.
I’ve purchased several cameras. All of them take thousands of photos of nothing. Apparently a fucking blade of grass 50’ away moves one quarter inch in the wind and the camera captures that. What a pain in the ass.
i WANT A CAMERA THAT TAKES GOOD PICTURE'S. i DON'T HAVE OR WANT A CELL PHONE. aND i DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO ANY COMPUTER PROGRAMING. JUST PLUG IT INTO MY PC AND LOOK AT PICTURES. I want pictures day and night with no flash,.......if somebody see's the flash,.....they will just steal your camera,.......and then they don't go to jail.
Good info, I'm always looking for honest products from honest people what I call [Real Men products] that don't have to hide behind marketing BS and only look at numbers having said that, I need a cam for surveillance to my phone my driveway is about 1/2 mile and I have a lot of secluded properties. Thanks (Peppers)
Never having used a trail cam ruclips.net/user/postUgkx2sTDdZXomuxedMg_HothfjSXjR3rpPkA before, I was very impressed with the quality of the images and videos. The sensitivity of the camera can be adjusted as well as the length of video recordings. Once I found the sweet spot, I was getting great clips of deer and other animals almost every day. I was worried about battery life but have been running off the same 4 aa batteries for over a month. The SD card is easy to remove and connect to a computer. I have a Mac, and the AVI files open natively in QuickTime and are easy to save and share. This is a great, budget-friendly trail cam.
Very good info but it still isn't helping me find one that works. I have bought three different ones and sent back three different ones. I want a cell model with wide angle NOT from Jina, and I don't care about the price until it's over $200, then I stop. PROBLEM is that there are SO MANY and MOST are from Jina. I don't care about pixels or shutter speed so much, I just want to catch the vandals up on the street. Damn it.
This video totally changed how I think about trail cameras and how I am going to set mine up! Thanks for being honest and putting this together. Great information!

My problem is after set up how do you activate it after set up to take pictures and video.

@@chadsyl23 Sue and I are looking forward to it.. on another note, we started a cool contest this week between Sue and I ...we are calling it " trail cam wars" where we submit our two top pics of the week (sue has her sets and I have mine) to a group of judges (our hunting posy) and they rate the pics not knowing who's pics are who...cumulative total at end of the summer wins...I can't disclose what the winner gets - but the recipient will be grinning ear to ear.. lol...take care Chad
sold out thanks for the info
Great video but went to your site and everything is sold out.. Have any other recommendations?
Hey Ken, we’ve been working on our supply chain.

Never ever get a highwild trail camera. I bought one last year, and ended up having to have it replaced 4 times. IN the case of all five of the devices, they all failed to even power up. I dont even know if they still in business. I ended up after a 4 month odyssy with highwild getting a refund, and they didn't even want the camera back. Apparently those devices aren't cameras, but rather just battery holders with a bunch of led lights on them.
Any idea please why my trial camera produces both light and darker pictures at night in ir mode. I have tried chancing the ir range, but this makes no difference.

Do Exodus Trail Cameras have an Android app to view pictures/videos on phone?
Yes! The app is called SCOUTEK. For the exodus render, registration, data plans, and photo management is all done there!
@@ExodusOutdoorGear But not for Lift II or Trek. Too bad. I am looking for WiFi app (not cellular). Most apps have very poor reviews. Scoutek is an exception.
Sweet man
Can a trail cam, advertised to contact my cell phone so that I don't have to approach the cam to retrieve the SD card, do so if the camera is set up in an area that has no cell service?
Good question - if the camera uses cellular service, no the camera cannot complete the command without signal. It’s just like your cell phone. If you don’t have signal you can’t complete texts/calls
Is there a trail cam that I can set a start time? I can only get down to my area that I film at in the early mornings to turn it on and go get it the next morning. I want to be able to set it to start at 5 pm and turn off next morning. It videos birds and branches moving all day long.
Yes! You can set the "operating hours" in our cameras!
Great video Chad, love our exodus cameras!
what is a good recovery speed
Trigger speed, I hate always getting the ass end of an animal rather than the whole animal in a video. I started using the Browning pro xd a few years ago and have changed all my camera due to the trigger speed.
Where is it made
I am a photographer! I bought two of GardePro A8 (latest) from Amazon, believe in me none of these cameras worth a penny! Unless of course you just want to see some visual. The quality of specs they offer not even 720p, photos are NOT 16mp nor even 4mp just a screenshot of what’s being grabbed from that 720i (interpolated/ upscaled) image. Think of these details which I mentioned when you buy one of these or else you’d be very disappointed. Besides of all, Wifi only works under 10m or 32ft distance. Sensor/s misses the action, leaves in a wind triggers the camera/s. Frustratingly cheap items made in China (yet again) and shamefully sold in Amazon! 😣
Thank you, very helpful.
So does this mean lower mp equals better pics
why don't they make trail cameras that can use rechargeable double a batteries, so I bought one that takes 8 double AA so if you use rechargeable that's only 1.2 volts each battery compared to regular alkaline which is 1.5 volts, so a total of 12 volts with regular and 9.6 with rechargeable, why not make a extra 2 battery slots so you can use the rechargeable 10 batteries 1.2 X 10 = 12, that has the total voltage as with the alkaline batteries 8 X 1.5 =12, with the trail camera I got low battery is only 9 volts then the camera wont take infrared photos at night because too much power for the IR light mine has like 16 led
I'm a woman who lives alone on 10 acres and I have a peeping tom on my property, can anyone recommend a great trail cam??? So I can take footage and capture his face and body? I just purchased solar motion lights, night vision goggles and have my dad in town to help.
Try one of our Exodus Render Cell cameras. Photo and video transmitted straight to your phone
@@ExodusOutdoorGear Thank you! I'll look into that.
Hope the info helps your next buying decision!!
im not a hunter but i want to see whats in a very peticular spot i feel something was off when i was there a few months ago. and then i had a dream i need to put a cam up in there
Please suggest to me your best buy for one of all the pros you talked about
Any of our cameras!
I have run 5 treks and one lift here in southeast Alaska...they do well in the wet and cold, and can honestly say,
I haven't had a camera fail me...yet.
I leave some of these for 9 months.
I like the treks simplicity!
شكرا جزيلا
Are your cameras made in the USA? Or are you selling Chinese cameras?
Jim Sensenbrenner thanks for watching! We are currently made overseas in China.
Jim it really doesn't matter to me where a product is made as long as it's a good product and so far these cameras have been great
Can’t build anything in American anymore and make any money. I would love everything to be American made, but a $100 item would cost $400 for the exact same thing if made in America. I’m sure if everyone was willing to pay $400 versus $100 we would see more American made items.
I want to strap one to the tree in my street parkway to catch the person who keeps stealing tools out of my neighbors truck.
I want to use a trail camera to catch unauthorized entry.
That’s a fantastic application for trail cameras. Especially cellular trail cameras! We have some content on the channel dedicated to that exact topic
I’ve purchased several cameras. All of them take thousands of photos of nothing. Apparently a fucking blade of grass 50’ away moves one quarter inch in the wind and the camera captures that. What a pain in the ass.
i WANT A CAMERA THAT TAKES GOOD PICTURE'S.
i DON'T HAVE OR WANT A CELL PHONE.
aND i DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO DO ANY COMPUTER PROGRAMING.
JUST PLUG IT INTO MY PC AND LOOK AT PICTURES.
I want pictures day and night with no flash,.......if somebody see's the flash,.....they will just steal your camera,.......and then they don't go to jail.
...or you're an old long time hunter who never needed these gadgets before but are curious.
So much research on my part for a camera to simply videotape mice infestations.
Omg Im not a hunter, I want to catch my cat!
I'm looking for the bandit racoon.
Audio is way to low.
Why don't you just turn up the volume on your device!!!
@@tjl9585 that’s the dumbest thing anyone has said to me so far today
This is only advertising talk for the camera, to get a picture of wild animals is not important, better camera higher price that's all
Great marketing.
Made in 🇨🇳 China ???
Wow! You so do not have to want to slaughter animals to have a trail camera. Get a clue.
Ungulates can not see red. It’s been proven!
Boring!
Get to the point sooner too lengthy!
It's informative. Not everything has to be entertaining. Yikes
Good info, I'm always looking for honest products from honest people what I call [Real Men products] that don't have to hide behind marketing BS and only look at numbers having said that, I need a cam for surveillance to my phone my driveway is about 1/2 mile and I have a lot of secluded properties. Thanks

wild game innovations, old and no issues.
Never having used a trail cam ruclips.net/user/postUgkx2sTDdZXomuxedMg_HothfjSXjR3rpPkA before, I was very impressed with the quality of the images and videos. The sensitivity of the camera can be adjusted as well as the length of video recordings. Once I found the sweet spot, I was getting great clips of deer and other animals almost every day. I was worried about battery life but have been running off the same 4 aa batteries for over a month. The SD card is easy to remove and connect to a computer. I have a Mac, and the AVI files open natively in QuickTime and are easy to save and share. This is a great, budget-friendly trail cam.
Very good info but it still isn't helping me find one that works. I have bought three different ones and sent back three different ones. I want a cell model with wide angle NOT from Jina, and I don't care about the price until it's over $200, then I stop. PROBLEM is that there are SO MANY and MOST are from Jina. I don't care about pixels or shutter speed so much, I just want to catch the vandals up on the street. Damn it.
