A $28 Tasco Trail Camera is better than a $400 Reconyx
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- A lot of people on forums talk about the $28 Walmart Tasco trail camera. I have been a long time fan of Reconyx cameras. So I decided to go buy a couple Tasco cameras and test them out. The results were very shocking.
I paid for all of the cameras with my own money. No one supplied me with any cameras or asked me to do this comparison.

I have used Tasco cameras for 10 years and they are still being used today love them
I have 3 of them and love them but can anyone tell me why it want take videos? I put it in video mode but I only get pictures when I do so idk what's up or what I'm doing wrong??? Can anyone please tell me what to do id greatly appreciate it !
What is the battery life, and do they have a battery life indicator?
Good review. 👍 I've also found that the muddy trail cameras $29.95 from academy work great too. I got a couple of the "Hunter 12" cameras and they do just fine, really as good as expensive cameras that I bought over the years. I'm not trying to take photo quality pics of these deer, I just need to see what they are and whether they have horns or not.
Been using these tasco cameras for 4 years bought three and I just set them out again and still taking awesome pics
What is battery life like & how accurate is battery status indicator
I kind of did it backwards, I bought the camera first and then looked for reviews on RUclips. And the crazy part is everyone who has done a review on this camera says the same thing, they are awesome for the price! Thanks for your channel, and honest review!
Same here! They price has gone up btw.. Like everything else, I guess! At least online it has. Which is where I had to buy since our nearest WalMarts here in southern California don't seem to stock them.
Bought two of these last week due to saw some pics of my brothers tasco cameras, watched the reviews on RUclips. I paid $33 for mine but extremely happy with my purchase. Prolly gonna go buy two more when they come back in.
Great comparison . For the past couple of years I have been buying Togard camers , $29.00 , Wosport cameras $31.00 dollars and Osenosus cameras $41.00 and they all work great . Scouting for deer movementand times in chosen locations . They work great . That is all I need to know . I am looking for deer not bells and whistles . Thanks for your work .
I’ve had that same tasco for 3 years now still going strong bought another one the other day just to have a spare for the money you can’t beat it
That's great. Since I'll likely end up with a few TC's, looks like I have nothing to lose by making Tasco my first. Thank you!
On the third year havent changed batteries yet, been out there year round. Not pro quality pictures by any means, but for 29 bucks you cant beat these.
Best review I have ever watched. Well covered - amazing job.
I used my tasco 10mp from Walmart for $19.98 for 7 years! It’s still on the field
I always told my son they where better cameras . We would pay over 100 for cameras that wouldn't even last a year or get stolen and i started trying tasco's . I've had my same ones for 3 years now its a no brainer for me. I started digging out all my cameras this year and the tasco was the first one i went for
You made the point I found most relevant at the end. We aren't hoping to frame this stuff. If I can buy 16 cameras for the price of one, I'm in. Thank you for pointing this out.
My only critic would be that the cameras side by side might affect those pictures. I have found that when testing multiple cameras, one will catch the flash of the other. But you didn't appear to have that issue.
Great video and thanks for being honest about it.
Thank you for doing this video. Good information clean language. God bless you. I bought a $28 Tasco from Walmart
We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ruclips.net/user/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.
Very very well done
All good useful info no fluff
Stumbled onto 8mp Tasco trail cams 3-4 years ago at Walmart for $20 bought two tested them out was completely satisfied with how they took pics and vids
Went to every Walmart within 20 miles of my home bought every 8mp Tasco TC they had
They are all still working
14 months ago again in Walmart saw a Tasco 12mp Trail Cam for $30otd bought one tested it out was WAAAAAAAAAAAAY impressed went back and bought 6 more all they had
For me and how I use trail cams spending big bucks on TC's is pointless because I put them out let them sit a long time and then see whats on them
I have friends who use TC's costing 3-8× more than my Tasco's and IMO none work or produce more useful info on buck movements to be worth 2x the cost of my Tasco's and at 3-9× the cost again IMO they are a huge waist of money as again IMO I would rather have 10-15 trail cams out that do a good enough job vs only 3 or 4 that dont in truth dont do that much better
Bottom line in my opinion is if my choice is I can afford 10 trail cams that will give me good enough info on buck movements or only 3 or 4 TC's that wont give me info any more valuable info on buck movements my choice is an absolute no-brainer
Now if only Tasco can come up with a 8mp cell cam for under $75 as reliable and effective as thier 12mp TC
I can always hope
Very good review. At the beginning of your review I knew exactly what the result would be. That's the same experience I've had. I'm a hunter from North carolina and I hunt a lot on public land. So, I don't buy expensive cameras. I have a couple of the previous 8mg Tascos and they aren't bad at all. Lately, I've purchased several of the chinese cameras. They're all inexpensive and, for the most part, quite good. Here are a few that you should check out. The Campark T20, The Ceyomur CY50 and the Wosoda G300. The first two cameras were about $39.00 from Amazon and the Wosoda was $43. It's an excellent camera.
I really liked the campark T20 until the power switch eventually failed on all of them.
Wow, savage! Love it! A man who pulls no punches
Tascos last too I’ve had some for 3 years still rolling.
And I hook 5 of mine to Spypoints Cell link to make them cell cams and they’ve outperformed my regular spypoints.
Thanks For Your Honesty.
I've used a lot of tasco cameras over the years especially on public land.
And even here on my farm I've got 300 acres and I like to run a lot of cameras cost-wise it's smart for me to buy a bunch of $30 tascos and put them all over my farm then only buy a couple reconyx.
The other thing is on public ground I don't feel as bad when my task go get stolen.
Izeeker, meidase, and guardepro are all great cameras at low prices too. You won’t be sorry if you got any of them
I use these Tascos. Work great. Once in a while one will go bad but most keep on working.
I'm just here for the shirts...
Fair and balanced. I spent my own money. But I am looking for an Archery shop sponsor who will send me free shit. Do you know of any? 🤣
@@NewDayOutdoors I'll ask around....
Yes lmk as well I like free shirts from awesome you tube channels
You the man. 😂
Thanks Derek I’m finding all your videos helpful.
Love to hear that! Thanks so much for the views and kind words. Be safe this season!
Great review. Gonna be making a trip to WalMart. Replacing my Muddy's this season.
none of this is news to me, I've been running 15 -20 tascos every season for years. they've gotten a little better over time. however you will have 1 out of 3 crap out year 1, but cost wise its a no brainer if you're just gathering intel. the more i get out the better even if i lose one once in a while to flooding or thieves its still cheaper than any other. Thanks for taking to time to compare them, you have helped other hunters save $$$.
Tasco is hard to beat
I've been using tasco the past 2 years after bear damaged my primos and they do really good
Great video. I don't go with cheap cameras. I get a discount from Reconyx but don't use them either. I have been all in on Wise Eye.
Love this video buddy
Great video. My first expensive camera was stolen within a month. Currently I use Wildgame Innovation and Browning cameras. In January we will start using Moultrie Delta Base. Have to try out these Tascos for a special project that may put the camera at risk. 🐗🐗🐗🐗
Good job
Tasco has been making great optics for years .
I've ran Tasco rifle scopes here in NWPA deer hunting weather on all my rifles my whole life, I'm 70 y/o; I've never had any problems, nor; a failure of any type.
Nice compact 10x32 binoculars from tasco.😊
Great video Derek. Just goes to show that big dollar product isn’t always best. I may grab a couple just for fun.
In trail cams,most buy a name for status. I run all budget cameras and get more and better pics than ANY of the "name brand I'm the man cameras"...And i never have to buy batteries, not even to start off.
I'm running 20 of theses they have done me Well...
Thank you,, I have inner city raccoon issues,,, they will get their Mug Shots taken shortly by the Tasco method. 👍😊
Thanks! Well done!!
I have a cheap tasco I got on clearance. Had it for years and it is very consistent. Has never let me down. Spypoint has crapee out on me as well as wildgame innovations. Nothing expensive, but it satisfies.
I've had three cheap Widlgame cameras fail over the past 6 years, which truthfully is just about what I expected at the start. My last one failed after only 1 year in the woods, with the IR no longer firing. Someone said the voltage sensor may be not letting the IR fire if the batteries drop below a certain voltage level even if the meter on the camera shows a decent amount of battery juice left. Which brings me to my point.
I really like the side by side comparison in this video. It is extremely eye opening and convinces me the cheaper cameras may be good enough for what I need to see. But as for a truly good review, there is too much that isn't tested, such as trigger speed. The fact that the cheaper Tasco took so many more photos of deer may be nothing more than the trigger speed in the much newer Tasco being faster than the medium-high setting on the much older Reconix.
Also battery life isn't tested in this video nor is video very extensively tested. I never run my cameras just in photo mode. I only shoot video as I like to see the animals actual movements. Four days of video sampling and just a couple of video samples is not enough for me to really see how these two cameras compare. I like to see testing in all sorts of weather conditions too, not just on bright sunny days or clear nights.
So for what it does test, this comparison is really well above average in the video's content. I do like this video! But as for a total, comprehensive testing comparison it lacks a lot, especially in the areas not covered at all that I just listed. I'd give this a 4 star rating but not a 5 star.
All in all however, I am heading to Wally World soon to see if I can pick up a couple and get them out in my woods!
Thanks for the review.
Btw, liked the shot out t to Nate, or AJA.
I’ve used them in the past for the price/ quality my opinion there a good deal
I use a hyperfire for security at a remote garage. It always works consistently well. Being made in US was important to me but it has an incredible used resale value because its repairable and supported. When Im done with it after a few years i can sell it for 3/4 my purchase price and not have my money support the communist dictatorship of China. Cool findings though thanks for posting. Impressive little tasco thats cheaper than an extra large pizza. Reconyx definitely needs to update their still image quality soon.
Very cool. Thank you. I’m new to cameras. So you would have to stick the card thing into a laptop in order to see what was recorded correct? Or is there some app you can use to see on your cell phone?
Thank you!
Thank you for this comparison video.
I picked up a KJK cam off Amazon for $17. And surprisingly, it checks all my trailcam boxes. What are my boxes?
-Uses 1 big latch-not 2
-Uses a full growed SD card-not a micro easy to lose tiny card
-data strip includes an image number
-2" screen
!
I picked up a couple cheap older Muddy and one Stealth off craigslist this year to try. They're ok, but could be better. I'll have to check out the Tasco!
Think about it MORE CAMERAS MORE KNOWLEDGE!! GREAT REVIEW!!❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂
The Tasco is a great camera and at the price point that most other trail cameras should be at considering what the actual cost of the components are.
thanks for this review
Interesting man. Thanks.
They’re electro magnetically interfering with each other with the sensors picking up on the others photo trigger. Whichever one picks it up first and sends out the software trigger it’s blocking the other ind from triggering. Which ever one picks it up first will tend to cancel out the other algorithm to activate the hardware.
Those are going to fly off shelves by next year they will be upgraded and have a camo option!! Thanks for the comparison video I am going to get one to try out myself
Not that the camo's really necessary the digger don't care but I do camo mind myself just mask off your lens and your sensors and Spritz them up a little flat paint
I had a Tasco telescope in the late sixties and it was a workhorse.
Good review! never used tasco but ill consider them now. I usually buy cheap cameras. could never afford a 400 camera and if i did id probably put that money on a gopro. thanks for sharing keep up the good work.
@ryancreson7115 Thanks for the views. These cams probably cost more these days like everything else. This video was in 2022.
Just saw this video. I have had a Tasco MP for a few years now. It has never failed me, Takes good photos and videos day and night. All I want to see is what is walking in front of the camera. For that...... winner,winner. I am not in it to produce a high resolution National Geographic 1 hour special.
The bottom line in trail cams are the images it produces. That's why you buy them. Does it make sense to pay 20X's the cost of the inexpensive camera that provides many more usable images, especially when the images appear to be better overall as well? I don't think so!
Great video, thanks for sharing!
RECONYX, not all they are suppose to be. I have owned a few, sent back a few also. All sent back for color, dark pictures, poor color. They said they fixed them, still the same issues. I also did side by side comparisons. NOT WORTH THE 400.00 DOLLAR PRICE TAG.
Thanks for the info! Good and informative video. Going to WalMart.....
This is a couple of years old. Not sure what model they sell these days. Probably more than $28 though given inflation ... LOL.
I'll be looking into the Tasco.
@@novicereloader this video was 2 years ago. So I am sure they cost more now. But still a solid camera for the price.
@NewDayOutdoors I have no doubt that you're right. Even if the price has doubled, I only have real need of one.
I think for 30$ the cam does exactly what it needs to do. 400 maybe for a cam that comes with wifi it's self and you can check it when you want. Never for a cam that can do exactly what a 30$ came can do
Dang it. I wish everyone would quit telling how good these cameras are.
Thanks for this video. I will be getting cameras soon. I had some property stolen and need one that I can hide with no flash
Great Review 👍👍
Some of my knock on Tasco trail cameras - no pic counter & no battery life indicator. If you switch out SD cards & check them at home, you may find a blank one. Had the trail camera had a counter or battery indicator, you would have known to address that. None of my earlier Tasco cameras (8MP & 10MP) lasted beyond 2 seasons, & I don't leave them out alll year. Starting with the newer 12 MP model, the pics will not open on my Mac computer. I had to buy a cheap Chromebook to save & open pics I wanted to keep. The earlier Tasco models didn't have this issue. I have anotther brand (Wosport Mini) that has the exact same set up features as the Tasco , & it has the same issue with my Mac laptop. It's annoying. I wouldn't pay $400 for a trail camera. I wouldn't pay $25-30 for a Tasco model that doesn't hold up beyond a season or two. Having said that, these cameras are awesome when they work. The picture quality is more than acceptable. I can live without a pic counter & battery indicator. I like the simple set up. Thus, I bought a 12 MP late last fall. I used it some this spring during turkey season, too. I am hoping the 12MP is more durable. I am comparing it to the Wosport Mini that's about the same price. I like that the Wosport uses 4 batteries, but the information strip is very difficult to read. I am still looking for the "Holy Grail" of affordable trial cameras.. I had 5 Browning cameras out last year, & only 2 of them were working properly by the end of last season. I am done with buying $100+ trail cameras. I can stomach a $30 broken one better. Campark T20 & GardePro E5 are my next experiment. A couple Camparks are out already, and the GardePro will arrive tomorrow. I have some high hopes for the no glow GardePro E5 based on reviews.
I do agree that a battery meter is needed. And yeah a picture counter would be nice. For $28 though it is hard to expect too much. I'd love to hear how that Campark and GardePro work out of you.
I bought Camparks off of Amazon and they don't hold up..Out of five, only one is still functioning.
@@ken5042 I am not impressed by the Campark cameras either, but I have found one I am impressed by. It's the GardePro E5 when on sale for under $60. They are are superior to my Browning Dark Ops no glow cameras that cost 2-3 times more. The E5 & A3 models are the only cameras I would spend money. Night pics are good, detection range is awesome. Best I have ever owned! Check out Hunting Farmer's review of the E5 model on RUclips.
Not sure it's the "Holy Grail" of trail cams but when Moultrie Refurbs release on their sale page you can scoop them up for $30-50 each. They're not amazing but I have a couple dozen. Some are going on five years (5 of them). I also run a dozen Tascos and miss the earlier models - the 8MP ones were excellent. On my mac I've found a program to download so I can view the videos. Wild Game cams have also treated me very well over the years.
The Wosport mini aka Wosport G100 sd card works perfectly on my Macbook Pro so I don't know what is happening with your setup, I have 8 Browning Stealth models at the farm and to me, they are worth every penny. If these cheap models would put a DC battery jack on them so that you can use a big battery to power it for almost a year the savings in batteries would take these to a whole new level. All 8 Brownings have the big batteries powering them and they are perfect and have survived the massive storm we had here in California with over 3 feet of snow and no telling how much rain and have been perfect. I love the audio recording as well, it is very cool to listen to all the animal calls, really great.The Browning models I have do not have Wifi or Cell.
I believe the Tasco has shorter videos and a lower frame rate. Not a problem if you are just documenting presence and not enjoying the wildlife.
I'm like most everybody else, going through all the various brands trying to find my best option. Some worked great for awhile, some did not. Some only lasted for a few months, some lasted 3 years. However, I do have major concerns paying $400 for a Reconyx but... at least they are made in the USA and carry a 5 year warranty. I'm really trying to NOT buy crap made overseas (especially China) anything. Besides, if a camera is stolen, a cheapie hurts less. Struggling with my purchase decision.
They may claim made in USA but I'll bet most of the parts and components are actually manufactured overseas
Very helpful 👍🇦🇺
reconyx are the biggest rip-offs in the trail camera market. They have fallen behind so much, yet they still charge like they are top of the line in technology.
You said the higher dollar camera was set on madium -high sensitivity. That could be why you got different results.
Yes it could be. Those cameras have many more settings. I have owned them for 4 or more years. At the end of the day it would take many months for a full comparison. I still love my Reconyx cameras. I chose them for this video as a benchmark. I wanted to hate the Tascos. I wanted them to suck. The reality is that for $28 they do not suck and they out perform their price point MANY times over.
@@NewDayOutdoors yup. And you can absolutely blanket a bucks core with them.
i tried to set timer to 1800-0500 and nothing happened..what did i do wrong? had it in on position after i set it..
What distance do these work at? 30', 100'?
Pretty solid at all that you listed.
Interesting how the Chinese put the LED's on the bottom of the Tasco camera. I think the videos from the two different cameras were poor because the cameras were trying to expose for the bright sky. The videos may have been better if there was no sky in the background. As for the Reconyx not capturing the turkeys, it may have been too high on the tree for the sensor to go off.
Great video ..cheers
Reconyx are more than image performance. They have unbeatable battery life, built more sturdy, much better warranty and ability to repair. Those cheap cameras are not built to last.
Have had two of these one lasted 2 years 1 lasted a year I now use them as dummy cameras
So I got pretty excited about getting functioning trail camera for $28-$29. Since Walmart is not available to me in my area, I looked up the exact 12 mp, "low glow" Tasco trail camera on Amazon. Result: $184. What gives?
I thought there was a Walmart within 10 minutes of every human on Earth. 🤣 Not sure why Amazon would charge so much. 🤔
@@NewDayOutdoors Expand your horizons, I am retired overseas, residing on the remote Philippine island named Siquijor. I am not aware of a Walmart in the entire nation.
On eBay they are going for around 35$ as high as 75$
Time frame: did it take photo of same deer lolie gaging around area in same period.
Hello.
There's someone dumping garbage on a dirt private road we own. I'm looking for recommendations on which camera to buy.
The location of the camera is liking going to be away from electricity and internet connection. It would be great to capture the plates of the car as they have to drive slow and in front of the camera.
I was considering getting a game/trail camera with a subscription so I can have the pictures sent to me, but I doubt the clarity of the camera will capture the plates?
Any recommendations?
There are a lot of solar panel powered security camera options out there that transmit via a cell network directly to your phone.
I bought a bunch of these Tasco cameras and they take satisfactory pictures, but the cameras themselves do not hold up well against the elements. Out of five cameras, two of them have stopped functioning and I don't think I will buy any more of them.
Both of these in this video are still going strong.
Mine is good after 2 Years on east coast.
@@NewDayOutdoors I'm up to five bad ones now...I put new batteries on them and hang them on a tree and I spend some time walking past them a bunch of times and slowly . The cameras count down but after that NOTHING. No pictures...So far my Muddy 14 mp cameras are still ticking
Price comparison wise of course. But these cams are hit & miss. No where near as good as perceived. I have bought about 10 of these over last few years and find some work, some don't. None of mine have lasted over 2 seasons with a cpl dying after a cpl months. Ultimately yes they are decent but you still get what you pay for. I put them out now where there is a possibility of theft.
6 years best camera ever bought 2 in a pack for 100$
Let's see how long they last! How about driving rain?
Well they have been out 9 months now through every weather condition that northern Indiana can throw at them and they are holding up and performing fine.
You should have a link for this tasco that gives you some kind of commission
Honestly, it is impressive that a cheap camera performs so well. But, there are a couple of things to consider. One thing is the red glow. Is that going to spook a deer from coming back to that area? I've heard both ways but I would tend to believe that it could possibly spook an older, wiser deer enough to at least avoid that particular spot for a while. Another thing. I've found that the majority of electronics today, no matter the cost, simply cannot be depended upon beyond the short term. Cell phones, computers, televisions... Doesn't seem to matter. A healthy portion of them are absolute garbage. I think a fair comparison would be to have a brand new more expensive trail camera vs the brand new less expensive cameras. If those have spent 4 or 5 seasons of use then it is possible that they are wearing down some and not performing quite as well as they used to.
At any rate your test certainly proves that even a cheaper trail camera has come much farther than what they used to be and can be a very useful tool. I can remember some time ago buying one that took 35mm film just as a novelty and putting it out in the yard. It was as high glow as it gets as it used a flash bulb like a regular camera. 😂
I’m currently completely frustrated with my muddy 24 ($90) no matter what the setting it continuously records for 3 hours ; recording nothing btw; till the card fills up which seems to b at 3 hours then it’s done and non functioning. I’m returning it and going to try this tasco
I have the same problem with mine. It seems that they are too sensitive because even moving grass seems to trigger it.
Except the crazy flash
It is a $28 camera ... can you really set your expectations that high?
Great reviews I have a problem that I think you will like the challenge. I live on a waterfront canal about 50 metres wide. I am trying to capture the registered numbers on a few speeding boats and jetsjkis. They seem to go about 20 to 25 knots and either go from left to right or right to left and up to about 30 metres out from my pontoon. Just a real bunch of idiots who give the rest of us a bad name.
Their registration numbers are about 4 inches high and usually 6 letters and numbers.
It is only in daylight hours and I have no electricity available on the pontoon but I do have wifi in my hut.
Whats your thoughts on an answer for this problem. Thankyou
Think about it how many more tascos could you have out 😂😂
4 or 5 years is Very OLD... For any camera..
Perhaps have you done a video on cellular trail cams?
I have not. With cell cams it is a bit different as of all of the plans that are specific to each brand of camera. Personally, I run several of the SpyPoint Link Micro S cams and love them.
@@NewDayOutdoors how’s the picture quality on the spypoint? I watched another trail cam video where he compares his $600 camera to a $28 Tasco. The tasco captured many many more pictures than his high dollar high performance camera. Wonder if your spypoint ever misses anything?
THANK YOU FOR BEING HONEST!!! GOD BLESS, GUIDE, PROTECT, AND KEEP YOU IN GOOD HEALTH!!! IN JESUS NAME!!! IN JESUS NAME!!!
Can you set the reconyx sensitivity to high and redo the picture test?
But looking buying 13 to 1 and if stole your only out 30$ not 400$ and the odds of the having all 13 stole to the odds of one 13 poor eye or one good eye i will lake 13 eye in the woods to one
Was the results of 2 tasco cameras or one?
I bought and tested 2 of them. They both have worked perfectly all year.
I'm cheap I bought a Tasco 8MP for like $49.99 marked down to $37.99,......and another one called wildview 12 MP for 49.99 marked down to $39.97 and a Wildgame Terra Extreme 14MP $54.99 marked down to $29.99.
The Wildgame Terra Extreme and the Wildview have the same phone and address.
All 3 need 8 batteries and SD cards.
I suspect the Tasco will be the best one and its good to know Walmarts price was lower but will they constitutionally harass me and want my ID like they do for ammo?
I'm kinda disappointed with the Terra, 18mp seems like a Lie....yes my Resolution is turned up in Custom settings......night vision is crappier than my Tasco........the Only thing about the Terra I like is there's No bulbs or anything visible, so harder to spot with a flashlight.
Anyone else having trouble reviewing the photos in the field from their iPhone?
Sorry I am an Android guy. But even at that I always pull cards and look at them back at the house on my PC.
What sd cards are you using and we’re they brand new. I got 2 of these cams. They take pics but when I go to review the pics they both just show up black. No shadows. Nothing but black. Wondering if it’s an sd issue or if anyone else experienced this. Nice review by the way.
I use a variety of SD cards from over the years. Anything from 2 gb to 64 gb. Just whatever I grab from my collection of multiple brands. These cameras are still running strong over a year later.
@@NewDayOutdoors interesting. I tried a couple different ones too. I tried reading them on my phone and haven’t tried a computer. Maybe that’s the issue. Thank you for the reply.
Do these cameras connect to your phone and send a notification?
@@nspetlover no. These are as basic of a trail can as you can buy.
