I've just got my CY95 and was puzzled by a few things. I watched other videos that were as clear as mud. This was excellent and clarified things that made no sense. Nice one Paul.
Paul, that was the best review of this camera I have found on line. Thank you for taking so much time to explain all aspects. I have ordered one hence looking for ideas and set up before it arrives. Great presentation and review. From Bulgaria.
I have this model of camera as well, it works great for me! Thank you for sharing and for all the details! It' is always fun to see what small animals visit at night. I found that there is an opossum that stops by regularly.
Hey Paul. I really needed this review! After payday, I’m going to come back on here and order it! It has such good reviews on Amazon too, with adorable little videos people have shot of badgers and foxes. I’m *sold* 🥰 Thanks so much! I’ve asked so many people on YT about trail cams and you’re the only person to be helpful…you’re the only person to even reply!!!
Hi Loucifer, glad you’re going to get one - so exciting finding out what’s happening when you’re not there. As you know I always reply - least I can do when people have watched and taken time to make a comment.
@@paultreviews yes you always reply to everyone. You’re so kind and obviously appreciative of people. I’ve only got 2 videos on YT of stuff I just shot on my iPhone (basic! 😒) but I might upload some trail cam stuff if I get some interesting nighttime manoeuvres! Can’t wait for payday now…this month has been horrendous with one massive unexpected bill after another!!! 😡 Thanks again!!!! 👍🏻☺️
Nothing wrong with using a phone to record RUclips videos - many people do it and the quality is great - I even shoot videos that I’m going to sell on my phone if that’s all I have with me at the time. Let me know what you capture on the trail camera 🐅 🐘 🦒
Thanks Paul for a comprehensive review from a photographer/videographer's perspective. It sounds like this is a very good camera woth decent quality...so hard to find them these days. Most have one or two outstanding features, but are lacking in otheres. 30fps is the minimun I'll accept for trail cams in the 2020's. I was looking at buying one or two of them, but after I saw your review, I'll go thru your USA links! Have a great weekend!
Paul I too have this model camera amongst my collection, I too use tripods almost exclusively in my garden. I modified the front base of some of the cameras I have that have no existing rear bottom 1/4 inch mount by using double sided sticky pads under a block of nylon 60mm wide x 28deep and 20mm tall pre drilled and tapped 1/4 inch so now on the tripod only the light weight back swings open and the rest of the camera is firmly in place on the tripod. I find it so much nicer to use like this and the block is removable if you don't like it without damage to the camera paint with a little alcohol to soften the glue. Very good review btw.
Well I’ve ordered it Paul, using your link here! So I hope you get your little finder’s fee or whatever you’d call it coz you deserve it! Coming to an Amazon locker near me about Thursday…great…I’ll have to watch this review again very carefully in order to set it up! 👍🏻☺️
Brilliant - good choice of camera. Thank you for using my link - any questions just let me know. With these long days you might even get something in the early hours in colour.
Great review! The expense of batteries are what limits us the most. The solar panel will help cut costs. The night vision is great, the frame was well illuminated. You made a good point about not rushing the set up. Thank you
I have the Campark T300 /TC02, which is very similar (has one PIR sensor instead of three) and the integrated solar panel is definitely an asset. The internal lithium battery in these models can also be charged with USB. Since there are no external connections the camera is effectively weather sealed. The Campark T100 I had before required 8 AA batteries. High capacity rechargeable NiMH AA's worked OK but recharging them every day or so became a pain - I record a lot of video.
Hi George, the camera simply shoots the stills. You have to load those stills into another piece of software, there are are number to choose from - many are free. I think iMovie is free. I use Davinci Resolve which also has a comprehensive free version.
I know exactly what you mean - I am enthusiastic about both those cameras and either would be a really good buy. Let me try and make some differences: The picture quality is really good on both cameras but slightly better on the TC22 The audio is good on both but slightly better on the TC22 The TC22 uses the full size SD card which is less fiddly. The buttons are bigger on the TC22 and a little easier to use. HOWEVER: the CY95 can take AA batteries as a back up and indeed would work even if the internal battery failed, so could be really handy in the long-term. I much prefer the small, solid form factor of the CY95 - and I believe it’s a touch more sensitive in detecting wildlife - it doesn’t miss much and that’s really important. As a first time buyer I would suggest the CY95 and I wouldn’t be without mine
Good time to put one out - as the days are long I’m getting the hedgehog visiting just after sunset and getting videos in colour for the first 10 minutes.
Hi Paul, thank you for the great review. I have had my CY95 since yesterday and made the experience that when I start a video recording with my smartphone (wifi connection with the cam), I have heavy noise/ creaking sounds on the audio. But not when the wifi is disconnected. I think the wifi signal interferes the audio (electronic). Do you have the same issue? Thank you in advance. Zimtfee
Hello Zimtfee, That is an issue I had last month. I contacted Ceyomur and they said it was because of other electrical interference in the vicinity. I tried it in the house and in the garden and had the same interference on the audio when recording manually through the camera app on the smartphone and the camera’s WiFi. It is possible that it is my strong home broadband WiFi signal which covers the house and garden. However I haven’t had this issue with other cameras although I’ve only tried it with two others. As you know, there is no interference when the camera is recording by being triggered by wildlife and the camera’s WiFi is not active. As you are doing some manual shooting look out for another ‘gotcha’ This happens with many of these 4K cameras from different manufacturers and they do note it in their manual. If you set the camera for 4K video but you start recording using the camera’s WiFi and the smartphone app, then the camera will record in 2K and not 4K Hope that’s helpful, Paul
@paultreviews Hello Paul, thank you so much for your fast and well explained reply 🙂 I will try your tip when I am back home and I wish you a nice day. Thank you! Zimtfee

Absolutely. I see you’re getting good results with your +3 diopter close up lens on the trail camera Bryan. I’ve been so busy I haven’t got round to trying mine.
@@LillyMiss2They are 'Proxy' or 'Surrogate' brands. Actually the T300/TC02 I have, which was supplied by Campark, has no Campark logo on it, nor on the packaging and documentation. It is labelled 'Hunting Camera'. I'm pretty sure it's the same with the TC08/T180.

It' is always fun to see what small animals visit at night. I found that there is an opossum that stops by regularly.

Thank you for your comment - now the days are longer I’m hoping to get colour videos before the camera cuts into night mode.

That is a task to recharge constantly - I find a few hours of good sunshine puts these solar cameras straight to 100%
Video ultra mega perfetto😊❤ il migliore di tutti!
Grazie mille! 👍
Good video thanks

Hi Paul. Brilliant camera review, but how do you play back timelapse as a video on this model. Thanks

This camera looks identical to a Campark. Is it the same camera?
I would agree that there is no difference. This one is now updated with a USB-C socket.
Paul, Ceyomur 95 = Campark T180/TC08, which review you have already done 😀
That's right Lilly - these cameras are so similar. 👍
Yes, the Ceyomur CY95, Campark TC08/T180 and Voopeak T180 are the same camera, rebranded. Campark are wholesale distributors of these cameras.
Absolutely. I see you’re getting good results with your +3 diopter close up lens on the trail camera Bryan. I’ve been so busy I haven’t got round to trying mine.
@@BryWorYT in fact Voopeak is another trademark of Campark

Yes - you’re correct.
