Shopping for a camera and I was going crazy on Amazon. What seem like really good purchases often had terrible reviews when you went to the one star or two star details that people took the time to write. One person on Amazon suggested I come to this channel and see, what a professional review details. Probably the best advice I received. Can’t believe how much information you’re sharing that saves so much time in the long run by making the wrong purchase. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
First things first…..you are a trail cam/security cam expert. The hours you’ve put into learning all the ins and outs about them along with your woodsman-ship ability to read the woods and place them properly for quality footage defines “EXPERT”. I enjoy your reviews.
I’m not a photographer but my sister is. From listening to her talking about photos I was under the impression the higher mega pixel will allow someone to zoom in more when editing. Is that correct? I realize if it’s already a bad picture from the sensor it isn’t going to get much better.
@@HeronPoint2021 no idea. I said I’m not a photographer. I’ve never used a trail camera either. I was asking a question more than stating a fact that I know is true.
i have an issue with your comparisons. To do a true comparison why didn't you set the cameras up side by side? Shoot the exact same footage at the same time of day and light conditions.
Very good video Dave, and you're absolutely right about false advertising! Also, more goes into good picture quality than just megapixels like sensor quality, capture speed etc!! You certainly have tons of experience with these fun toys we love to deploy into the woods!!
Appreciate the work the HUNTING FARMER puts into his videos and especially the reviews of trail cameras. It’s nice to have a channel that you can trust the words said about a product. Here once again I’ve learned something I didn’t know about trail cameras. The HUNTING FARMER channel has been fun with the hunts and different things he try’s but also I’ve gotten great information on products for the outdoor sports myself and others enjoy and learn from. Thanks again 🎥💪🏽💯👍
Appreciate this video, and the thought ideas when looking into trail cameras. You certainly showed some great points on advertising vs miss conception. My opinion to get the best out of any trail camera you hit on is how you set it up at a location. You should set them up differently on a trail versus a field for example. You are humble when you say your not an expert, I know your the first place I go to see if you have done a review on a particular camera. Have a BLESSED day and keep SHARING your PASSION
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.
I'm here because of trigger speed lol. I picked up a relatively cheap trail cam, and for a test I jogged past it. The video taken had me just exiting the video. When I walked past it, I was in the video from beginning to end so that test was okay.
Good content and info as I have come to expect from you! I had to laugh though because even if you don't want to you do "sound like an expert". Because you are! One of the biggest things to me is the ability to adjust the sensor sensitivity.
Great video- thank you! I have some Moultrie Edge cell cameras. They are extremely slow to trigger video. The shortest option is 30 seconds! Terrible for surveillance and nearly useless for game.
It is really the bit-rate that videos are recorded at that determines the quality given similar MP sensors. Low bit rate means smaller file size and grainier video even with the best sensors. I use 4k a lot in close-up and with a bit rate in the 20 to 30 kbs Range it's fantastic, but some cameras record below 10 and it looks grainy. Cellular trail cams in particular record at low bit rates to keep file sizes low for transmitting via 4G. Just like when you make your videos for your You Tube channel - the higher the bit rate you save it at - the larger the file size and the better the quality.
Thanks for watching. That’s a loaded question. There seems to be no perfect camera (there’s always a shortcoming in one way shape or form). The Campark TC07 is one of the best photo/video quality cameras I use but it has it’s shortcomings
Great info Dave, that Bog Camera really does take some good video and the winghome as well. Thanks for putting all this together expert Dave lol, (you are an expert in my book!) 👍
Farmer,,, Can't find the IR rating on most cams for sale on line, but under your advice I just ordered a GardePro E6P Trail Camera WiFi Bluetooth, 48MP 1296p Camera with 8000mAh Rechargeable Battery Pack and it included a solar panel charger and rechargeable pack with it, almost the same price as most list jus the cam for. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the info. As a photographer I have an understanding of MP. I told my husband I am looking to eventually get the 61mp Sony. That has a price tag of $3500. So when game camera companies are telling their potential buyers they have 30+ mp images for $100 plus, is just wrong. My husband recently bought one that was 4K and claimed higher image quality and had less quality overall and dependability than our older and small MP's ones did.
The trailcam companies are simply lying to everyone with MP resolution. The "Campark TC07 60mp" actually has an image sensor that is 13mp. It is simply dishonesty and misrepresentation by the manufaturers for not listing the actual NATIVE resolution of the image sensor.
Just to add...MP may be high, but on a very tiny sensor. 30 MP Full frame sensors in DSLR's will allow much more light (and cost more), than a 30mp sensor the 0.5cm wide on cheap phones and devices. Light it the key is a big key in the quality as well.
Thank you for your informative video. I have had the misfortune to purchase CamPark T-100 with solar battery pack. They both leaked rainwater and stopped working the first winter. Do you have any recommendations for brands that are weather tight?
Thanks for watching. I’m had good longevity out of the Gardepro E5, Meidase P60 type cameras ruclips.net/video/k-joTPqzEZE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/J7DWYSPnhl8/видео.html
Hi, I love your videos. I am new to trail cameras, and I am having a hard time finding the right one for what I need. Do you know which cellular trail camera I could have send a picture to my phone every 30 minutes without motion? Even better if I could only have it do this during certain times of the day. Thank you!
Hi, would you tell me what you most favorite 940 narrow view camera is for surveillance ( model # and name or link please). . Would i have to change a chip often if there is wildlife daily? One that is small and lasts a long time is preferable. Thank you very much for your time.
This is a very good narrow field of view camera with 940 IR amzn.to/46TKlYm It will require an sd card and 6 batteries. I HIGHLY recommend Energizer lithium batteries (although more expensive they last considerably longer). If your patient this camera often goes on sale and you can sometimes save 30-40%
I am subscribed to your channel. You provide a lot of good content. Looks like you set your cameras up at 2' to 3' above the ground. I am going to give that height a try. Keep up the great videos.
That’s a loaded question! 😁 It really depends what you want from a trail camera. What I’m looking might not be what someone else wants. (I’m not a politician although my answer to that question always sounds like I am) 😂
I'm wanting a camera to setup for capturing bullet impacts on a target from 600 out to 1000 yards, needs to be able to be programmed with a timer delay to start and stop video, would a game camera work?
Dave enjoyed your video again. Been looking for 2-3 more but on public land so not looking at 3 digit price. Wifi is not bad in hunting season but summer and early fall very iffy. Just picking your mind on a couple or so, you have more experience than I do on these. Any decent cams come to mind ? Thanks for any help.
Thanks for watching! The Gardepro E5 has been a good camera for me. A good balance of quality images and a reasonable price. ruclips.net/video/k-joTPqzEZE/видео.html
very beautiful video 👍 i think it depends a lot on which animals you want to shoot, for me the trigger speed is the most important feature. hunting carnivores often just scurry by in the picture. 0.4 seconds can be too late. where most cameras with 0.4 sec indication rather 1-2 sec need.
i want to capture who steal from my coconuts plantation .. wide and longer range.. glow can not be notice theft .. better camo.for hide it from human eye.. mostly better performance with night time(most stealing happen night time) any recommendations ?
That might be tough because many no glow cameras (can’t be seen by the human eye) are not very good for long range. Here is a camera I use that does fairly well Meidase P60 32MP No Glow Trail Camera: Field Test and Review (6 month duration) ruclips.net/video/J7DWYSPnhl8/видео.html
Thanks a lot for your time! I have another question I am looking for a camera to make a channel in wild life what would you recommend for the best video quality and sounds? The bog clandestine seems to be good but I wanted to know your recommandations! Also if you have any recommandations on a trail cam to make live video I would like to know the best for this! And finally let me know if all of my idea with a trail cam is realistic or not really. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the video. I have found a narrower FOV allows the image sensor to perform better. Trigger speeds are made up. I have a wired surveillance system that overlaps some of the trail cameras. The trigger starts the buffer, and LEDs at night. The advertised trigger speed relates to photos, video can be 10X longer (I.E. 0.3 to 3 seconds). That would be hard to know if you did not have a second full-time recording camera. Some of the higher mega pixel cameras have very low FPS
This video is great... I did me some learning... really a big help... There are so many to choose from I didn't know where to start...subscribed..thanks.👍
I have Vision Pro trail camera, and I turn on to take picture, but it is empty after night in forest, there si no pictures or film, I tried to use it on my dog also, but there is nothing, empty. PLEASE HELP WITH INFO
I use virtually every brand out there. There is no perfect camera in my opinion. Each one has strengths and weaknesses and you must decide what you value most in a camera and decide from there
The points you make are indeed valid. What must be understood is that each camera has certain design features that make it what it is. Those feature and characteristics may be exactly what works best for some users in certain photography situations but NOT for everyone in every situation. It is helpful for people to think about cars specifications and features. Vehicles are designed to be good at some aspects but may not be good at others. Let's look at an example. My BMW 528i M Sport is an example of how its design characteristics make an incredible difference between many other cars in its same class. It has only a 4 cylinder engine in a fairly large luxury style vehicle. One would expect rather mediocre performance from that set up. But the engine is tuned for horsepower and has TWIN turbochargers on it. It will do zero to 60 in under 7 seconds. There are plenty of V8 powered cars that can't do that. So yes, cameras can be designed to give incredible photo quality even if they have less megapixels than some other camera. But just as it costs more to build my M Sport than a car with less performance, manufacturers who build lower megapixel cameras don't always use the highest photo quality lens, sensors, and other components. Some do; some don't. Therefore you cannot just look at one or two factors for camera specifications and determine if the photo quality will be good. That said, my car can't tow as much as a V8 powered BMW 5 series so if I had a heavy boat, I'd be out of luck. Similarly, some cameras have a wider field of view, greater depth of field, better battery life, a better IR flash capacity, or any of a host of other features than competing models. Just as with pantyhose, there is no such thing as "One size fits all." There is always someone who can't fit in them! All that said, the true problem with camera review is people post reviews of cameras brand new straight out of the box. Those cameras always work well. They should! Meaning no insult here Dave, but those kinds of reviews are not all that useful. Users need to know how the dang things hold up in actual use over an extended time period. Otherwise, it could be a waste of money to buy any camera if it breaks too soon. I realize the reason most people post product reviews is to persuade other people to buy the cameras through there links, thereby earning some money for the reviewer. And if a reviewer waited three or four years to rate a camera, it would not be possible to buy that model then. But without knowing the RELIABILITY of a camera no matter how good it works right out of the box it's just a gamble to buy any of them. That's why people don't buy cars based upon a brand new, just delivered car reviews. They wait until independent testing agencies put some highway miles on the cars and people who buy and use them have time to post real user reviews. That's my opinion. Here's why I think that way. Just tonight I pulled a card from one of my game cameras only to discover the IR flash has apparently failed. There were about two dozens videos taken at night, all of which were totally black. The only good videos on the card were the ones taken during daylight. I have kept this camera mounted in the woods 365 days per year since I bought it. However I only purchased it last December right before Christmas so it has lasted only 1 year before it broke. This camera is a low dollar Wildgame blackout camera. It's the third Wildgame cheap camera I have had fail during the past 6 years. The first one failed in two years. The second one failed in 4 years. And this third one failed in 1 year. I don't care what spin someone puts on a brand new one in an unboxing review or how good the first videos look, I won't be buying another Wildgame as my experience shows they don't last long enough,. Given that my land is located in Jackson, MS, a very high crime rate urban area, I cannot put any expensive items in the woods and leave them. They will get stolen. So while I understand that high dollar $500 cameras may last much longer, that's not a workable option for me and probably not a lot of other people either, particularly those living in the Deep South. What would be more useful to me at least would be performance reviews 1, 2, or more years after the cameras you recommend are left in the woods. I'd like to see how they hold up in a climate like mine which gets about 75 inches of rain each year and has extreme humidity during the entire summer. Will they rust or will water seep inside and ruin the electronics? How good are they at resisting tampering by raccoons or chewing on the antennas or wiring by squirrels? Will solar power supplies keep the cameras running during cloudy weather or in deep woods shade? What happens if a battery bursts and corrosive acid leaks into the camera compartment? For that matter, is the camera just too sensitive so that it takes useless photos of birds flying by or the wind blowing limbs around? It helps immensely to see more than just the customary slow plodding deer walking up to a watering hole or a bunny rabbit one hopping around. That kind of movement does not truly test the trigger speed of a camera. I disagree that cameras being sold today have acceptable triggers speed. On one video from the card I pulled tonight, pack of six large dogs ran across one of my food plots about 20 yards directly in front of the camera. The dogs entered the camera's field of view on the far right and exited on the far left. But the trigger speed was so slow on that 1 year old Wildgame Blackout camera that the lead dog was nearly out of the frame on the left before the camera even started to film the video. The other 5 dogs in that pack were all past the halfway mark in the middle of the field of view, about to also run out of the left side of the frame. That's unacceptable trigger speed in my book but you CAN'T TELL that defect just videoing slow walking armadillos, rabbits, or deer. If that had been a buck chasing a doe in our pre-rut going on right now the camera might have missed the entire thing. If one of your cameras fails, even if it is a few years old, that sort of review would help evaluate the brand's reliability. So would any instances of having to deal with the manufacturer over warranty issues. Learning about battery life for individual cameras or battery performance in cold weather would also be very helpful. As useful as an unboxing review may be, or a review that points out design differences, we need a lot more to make a genuinely smart decision when buying game cameras. Your site has always been one of my most favorite ones to watch and still is. I'm a big fan of all your videos. Over time, the site has tilted toward game camera reviews which is also great info to get. But please don't stop here! Give us more! Particularly reviews AFTER the products have been in use for a while. Keep up the great work you do! We all appreciate it very much.
You make some very good points! I would double check the batteries in the Wildgame cam. If the camera triggers at night but it’s a black video it’s almost always a low voltage problem 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Will pull that camera tomorrow and run a voltage meter on the battery output. Any ideas what the lower limit number must be in order for there to be enough voltage to fire the IR? I have no idea. Thanks for the tip. That could be it.
An after thought to share. Maybe some of your readers may know the minimum voltage requirement for night time IR flash to work on the Widlgame cameras. Once I owned a Cannon camera that was super sensitive to battery voltage. It required 4 AA batteries of 1.5 volts each. However if the voltage in any of those four batteries dropped to 1.3 volts or less the camera stopped working entirely until new batteries with maximum voltage were installed. It is ridiculous that foreign manufactures put voltage sensors that won't allow their systems to function unless the camera has peak voltage at all times. But they obviously do. Essentially keeping voltage at peak levels requires use of lithium batteries, not the cheaper batteries I run in my cameras. Lithium has a different power profile which keeps voltage at top levels until the capacity is used up. Then the lithium batteries just suddenly shuts the system down without any kind of low battery warning. Since many outdoorsmen use the cheaper batteries instead of lithium, perhaps in your future test you could keep a couple of low voltage but still good batteries around to test the sensitivity of the cameras you test to the power supply profiles. Nobody wants to see their game cameras shut down before the useful battery power is drained to a genuinely low level that justifies replacement. That just wastes money replacing batteries too soon.
Did you change the megapixels up on the cameras themselves. My Moultrie cams gave me different options for resolutions and different features. Just wondering. I want the best like anyone else. More in one ways. Less in some ways.
That's a great question. I have found putting cameras on the best possible quality options helps some cams while hurting others (especially at night). best I can tell you is to experiment with your camera to see how it reacts. 👍
@HuntingFarmerOfficial Thanks for the video. It was full of common sense information that people are interested in. I've had similar experienced with using different phoness, cameras, and other devices, and always wondered how they worked. Thanks for the great video.
You're right megapixels really don't make a difference but if they do you can always shoot raw if the Cam has it but just remember if you shoot raw it takes up a lot of space that's one. I'm looking for a T.C. the in fo you gave was a big help I'm looking at Amazon and I looking at trigger point some at 80ft others 100ft with night in looking at a price range from 30 to 80 bucks you have any recommendations. Thanks and great info
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial I recently just purchased two TC cams and as I searched even the link that you sent I came across and I found the difference is about $30 the photos they're all the same the one thing that I learned about these cams is you really don't need Wi-Fi if you set it up and your backyard then yes if you're going to set it up for photos to scout you don't need Wi-Fi that'll save you a lot of cash the bigger the megapixel like I said can't tell the difference but now it's time to go get what I'm after the info that you gave in your video was a great help but I do have to ask one thing and that's about the batteries it asked for alkaline batteries but I noticed you put in energizers I believe is there a difference in the batteries. And if I get what I'm after you'll be one of the first to know
Thanks for watching. It really depends on your budget. I personally think the Gardepro E5 and WingHome 630M do a great job at night and are still relatively low cost. I have Brownings and Bog cams that also do really good but have much higher price tags.
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Thanks! I will check into 'em. A cheap one I purchased this season that does pretty good (and has gotten comments on my channel) is one called Xtellar. It is around $60.
Thanks for watching! There is no perfect camera (at least I haven’t found it yet) 😜 It will greatly depend on what your looking for. I like clear videos, good audio, and good IR at night. WingHome 630M has been a longtime favorite, Gardepro E5 has been a great camera along with the Bog Clandestine. Recently I’ve been quite impressed with the newest Campark cameras (T-180, T-300, TC06, TC07) etc.
I agree with you Dave on the megapixels, if I’m not mistaken, the more megapixels the more space they take up on the card. You have done more trail cam reviews of trail cams than anyone else I’ve seen. I am done with the Big Brands, they are no better than the others. I will say I love the white flash for pics but not for video. Always appreciate you sharing your experience / knowledge on trail cams. You are an expert in my eyes based purely on the amount of time you have spent researching and using and the diversity of cams you have reviewed. Thanks !
Very interesting, I guess much with trailcams is like cameras in general which comes down to lense quality, aperture size and processor ability.. NightTime of course going more difficult... As you mentioned, reviews as you said, is so very helpful. Awesome video and information. 👍
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen I'm a longtime supporter of Dave's, I'd love to put a couple of these up down by the creek to see what I can see (I'd love to get the foxes down near here on trailcam). 😁
@@ArielleViking Yeah, just discovering that he has some really good stuff on his channel. I'm getting one for here since I have kangaroos, foxes, emus etc in the bush behind me and I want to capture the kangaroos in my front yard too. Will be good to see what gets in my orchard and veggie patches over night too.
Hi. I really liked your video. I am a rodent exterminator of rats and mouse. I am looking for a caméra, that performs very well on the dark, I want to put it in my clients home and see how the rodent reacts to my trappes. So it should be small camera, that Connect to my clients wifi, that I can have access to the videos from my home in order to prepare a solution in advance before returning to my client house again. In your experience, do you have any particular suggestion of which camera would make a good job? Thank you.
Thanks for watching. You’ll need a WiFi security camera. Unfortunately there are no WiFi trail cameras that will be able to do what you need it to do (they won’t connect to your clients WiFi). I believe the Reolink Argus could do what you need. It’s compact and can be operated without the solar panel (as long as you recharge it from time to time). ruclips.net/video/BXRbsYrV9Ec/видео.html
I see overall better performance with the lithium vs alkaline batteries (especially if your camera is on video mode). Lithium provide higher voltage levels which allows the camera to perform as designed. Unfortunately Energizer Lithium batteries have become even more expensive recently 🙁
I’m looking for a buddy who has an outdoor property he’s trying to sell but the neighbor keeps stealing from him and taking his signs. Trying to get him the right trail cam to catch the intruder but also to be hidden from site so he doesn’t take it. His budget is infinite as he prefers to catch this a hole. Any suggestions?
Thanks for watching. I’d probably suggest a pan and tilt 4G camera mounted up high. Here is a comparison video I did ruclips.net/video/Woru6GQrmeg/видео.htmlsi=MosomMvGUgzPmkFy
I'm looking to upgrade my trailcam for a 2022 browning one. Anyone have some advice on what model to buy? It needs to have the possibility to work on rechargeable batteries, no glow illumination, and I also really like the feature of the hp5 that that it continues to record while the animal is moving in front of the camera. If you have other trail cam from other brand to recommend, please let me know. Thanks
I'm looking for the best quality picture camera with a wide angle with cellular capabilities for a property 1200 miles away from home. Really looking to just keep an eye on the property and not really looking for animals. Sparing no expense what is the recommendation for the best available.
I love the 4G cameras that have the “live view” option. This will allow you to see what is happening at the property at anytime (not just when the camera detects motion). The Reolink TrackMix 4G can automatically track objects while it records them. It can also be moved (left/right, up/down) through the app while you’re 1200 miles away. This will allow you to scan your property at will. I really like this camera. amzn.to/48efQ0Q ruclips.net/video/OqE7cWOhlWY/видео.htmlsi=CRwbJJoCS-lhUajC (See my review video for my recommended data SIM card to supply the cellular portion)
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial thank you for the super fast reply, I enjoyed watching a few of your videos and we'll go check out this camera now. Happy new year to you and your family. ❤️🤠
Thank you for that information. I learned a lot from this video about what to look for in a trailcam. My purpose is to find the entry points of one particular unwanted trespasser animal is getting into my property despite fencing and other measures. I know area it appears from and where it runs to when I chase it but I don't know exact breach where it is getting in so that is why I want to set up some sort of device to hopefully catch a glimpse of where it is coming in so that I can try to find a solution to block the entry point.
Trigger speed is important for narrower field of view cameras. On a wide angkr camera a slower trigger speed isn't a problem because the field of view is really wide. However, on a camera with a narrow filed of view you want a faster trigger speed so the animal doesn't move completely past the camera before it triggers
Hey Hunting Farmer, need your knowledge to point me in the direction of a trail camera for really fast moving animals. Sometimes moving from left to right or right to left at up to about 25 mph. They are about 25 - 30 metres away and I need clear photos or videos. Need motion sensing and preferably wifi or card with batteries or anything you may suggest. As you have said, its confusing and misleading out there and I definely need a person like you for sure. Thankyou
Good afternoon. Excellent review and great explanations. I was very interested in this Campark-TC06. Is she as good as Campark says? Will there be a review only of the TC06? Thanks for your videos, I watch them all the time. Regards, Erik from Brazil.
Mr..Trail Camera Great video Dave.U r 💯 right on the MP..Never new u had A Browning trail camera.What kind is it?U always make Sunday better with your videos 👍
G'day! Thanks very much for making this video mate. In the market for one here in Australia and I appreciate the info to help me be more informed on my choices. All the best. Daz.
We got a delta base 24mp yesterday an has been irritating since takin it out of the package ,the website is a pain in the butt we had a selesman talk it up but come to find out he fibbed alot
Wish I knew what I’m doing wrong. I’m on my second trail cam, and I couldn’t get either one to take any pics! Read all the directions, went on RUclips and watched setup videos, still won’t work. Guess I’ll just return it again, and give up on having one…
Never judge by megapixels. A 10 Mp sensor might be the best of all. I judge by 2 things above all: How long is the warranty and how do they respond to warranty claims.
Thank you sir for making this very helpful video! I had a trail cam in my apartment about a decade ago just to have some fun to see if there might be some strange paranormal stuff going on and, of course, it was a camera with the inferred light. And so, the curious thing I saw were these white orbs floating and sometimes shooting around. It was pretty creepy but I also saw some videos that others had made and those also and the mysterious orbs in them. In one of my recordings there was like a big chunk of white stuff that feel down towards the floor. Anyway, I'm curious if you've ever set up a trail cam in your residence and had it happen to you as well? Also, do you have any idea what's going on with said phenomena? Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching. Most trail camera don’t do well for up close action. Must are made for a much wider field of view. With that said, they’ll work but you won’t get the highest quality up close pictures or videos
I can’t wait to watch another video! I love the deer that visit my property. I’ve named all 4 of them the Sex in the City cast because I live in the city limits and they are city deer! I would love a camera just to watch them eat at our fruit trees. If you have a favorite that’s affordable please let me know! I’ll check to see if you already have that video up and watch it in the morning! Thank you!
I appreciate you watching. There are numerous cameras that work really well and are relatively inexpensive. I really like the Gardepro E5, WingHome 630M and Meidase P60

Thanks for your support and encouragement Matt. I appreciate it 👍
As a photograpgher I learned a long time ago, the quality of the image sensor is far more important than the megapixels. Great info Dave.
Thanks for watching Rande. You’re right 👍
I’m not a photographer but my sister is. From listening to her talking about photos I was under the impression the higher mega pixel will allow someone to zoom in more when editing. Is that correct? I realize if it’s already a bad picture from the sensor it isn’t going to get much better.
@@chrisunruh6485 and just how are you going to find out the image sensor data?
@@HeronPoint2021 no idea. I said I’m not a photographer. I’ve never used a trail camera either. I was asking a question more than stating a fact that I know is true.

What did you buy? Would you buy it again?
We’re just now starting our research before we buy a trail camera…so glad I found your channel!
I appreciate you watching 👍
i have an issue with your comparisons. To do a true comparison why didn't you set the cameras up side by side? Shoot the exact same footage at the same time of day and light conditions.
The ir from one camera effects the light from another
I don't think the videos are his.
Very good video Dave, and you're absolutely right about false advertising! Also, more goes into good picture quality than just megapixels like sensor quality, capture speed etc!! You certainly have tons of experience with these fun toys we love to deploy into the woods!!
Thanks for watching Kyle! I sure do appreciate it 👍

Appreciate the work the HUNTING FARMER puts into his videos and especially the reviews of trail cameras. It’s nice to have a channel that you can trust the words said about a product.

Thanks again 🎥💪🏽💯👍
Thanks for watching and for your support and encouragement over the years! It’s appreciated 👍
Appreciate this video, and the thought ideas when looking into trail cameras. You certainly showed some great points on advertising vs miss conception. My opinion to get the best out of any trail camera you hit on is how you set it up at a location. You should set them up differently on a trail versus a field for example. You are humble when you say your not an expert, I know your the first place I go to see if you have done a review on a particular camera. Have a BLESSED day and keep SHARING your PASSION
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and and comment. Thank you for your support and encouragement 👍
Great review! I'd say off hand that you're a trail camera expert more than anyone I've seen. Love your videos! 😊❤❤
Haha! Thanks for watching! I appreciate your support and encouragement 👍
You always give good videos on trail cameras. Great source of information for someone want to get one.
Thanks for watching Chuck. I appreciate you encouragement 👍
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.
Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks for the information. A lot of choices to make when choosing a trail camera,
Thanks for watching 👍
I'm here because of trigger speed lol. I picked up a relatively cheap trail cam, and for a test I jogged past it. The video taken had me just exiting the video. When I walked past it, I was in the video from beginning to end so that test was okay.
Good content and info as I have come to expect from you! I had to laugh though because even if you don't want to you do "sound like an expert". Because you are! One of the biggest things to me is the ability to adjust the sensor sensitivity.
Thanks for watching! You make a great point about sensor sensitivity adjustment. That’s something you don’t get with every camera!
Great video- thank you! I have some Moultrie Edge cell cameras. They are extremely slow to trigger video. The shortest option is 30 seconds! Terrible for surveillance and nearly useless for game.
3 tenths of a second not 30 seconds! Work fast!!!
Great information. But... 😅 what cameras do you guys recommend? Preferably cellular
It is really the bit-rate that videos are recorded at that determines the quality given similar MP sensors. Low bit rate means smaller file size and grainier video even with the best sensors. I use 4k a lot in close-up and with a bit rate in the 20 to 30 kbs
Range it's fantastic, but some cameras record below 10 and it looks grainy. Cellular trail cams in particular record at low bit rates to keep file sizes low for transmitting via 4G. Just like when you make your videos for your You Tube channel - the higher the bit rate you save it at - the larger the file size and the better the quality.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I appreciate it 👍
Do you think you could tell us what you recommend?
Thank you for making these videos! Keep it up!
Thanks for watching 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial your welcome!
Good video as far as I’m concerned. I’m kind of new at this deer trail camera stuff. I’m trying to find something on my property as we speak.
This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Amazing reviews! Thank you so much!
Thank you. I appreciate you watching 👍
Great review! Can ju tell me for you soo far what’s the best camera you have that can take videos and photos?
Thanks for watching. That’s a loaded question. There seems to be no perfect camera (there’s always a shortcoming in one way shape or form). The Campark TC07 is one of the best photo/video quality cameras I use but it has it’s shortcomings
Great info Dave, that Bog Camera really does take some good video and the winghome as well. Thanks for putting all this together expert Dave lol, (you are an expert in my book!) 👍
Thanks for watching and for your support and encouragement! It’s greatly appreciated 👍
Farmer,,, Can't find the IR rating on most cams for sale on line, but under your advice I just ordered a GardePro E6P Trail Camera WiFi Bluetooth, 48MP 1296p Camera with 8000mAh Rechargeable Battery Pack and it included a solar panel charger and rechargeable pack with it, almost the same price as most list jus the cam for. 👍👍👍👍
I have an E6P and really like it. I believe you’ll be pleased 👍
Hunting Farmer, I am pleased , again your video really helped.
Hey Dave one more what 📷 was is 60 MP & did I ever do a review on it.Thanks Dave yep u r the bet about Knowing trail cameras 👍
The 60mp is the Campark TC06. I’ll be doing a complete review soon 👍
So which one of those four on your table was the best the tall yellow box if so what was that one
Thanks for watching! The one in the box was a Browning. Unfortunately it seems to spook deer at night: ruclips.net/video/W9Kdz8ZhuW4/видео.html
What is the woodpecker at 4:25 in the clip?
Thank you for the info. As a photographer I have an understanding of MP. I told my husband I am looking to eventually get the 61mp Sony. That has a price tag of $3500. So when game camera companies are telling their potential buyers they have 30+ mp images for $100 plus, is just wrong. My husband recently bought one that was 4K and claimed higher image quality and had less quality overall and dependability than our older and small MP's ones did.
I appreciate you watching and for sharing your thoughts/experience. I really wish there was a standard they followed 🙁
The trailcam companies are simply lying to everyone with MP resolution. The "Campark TC07 60mp" actually has an image sensor that is 13mp. It is simply dishonesty and misrepresentation by the manufaturers for not listing the actual NATIVE resolution of the image sensor.
Just to add...MP may be high, but on a very tiny sensor. 30 MP Full frame sensors in DSLR's will allow much more light (and cost more), than a 30mp sensor the 0.5cm wide on cheap phones and devices. Light it the key is a big key in the quality as well.
I bought the ct22 . Its the best wifi trail camera . The quality is like flagship mobile phone and solar charge makex it great .
The reviews say that only deer and large animals trigger it. Is that true?
Thank you for your informative video. I have had the misfortune to purchase CamPark T-100 with solar battery pack. They both leaked rainwater and stopped working the first winter. Do you have any recommendations for brands that are weather tight?
Thanks for watching. I’m had good longevity out of the Gardepro E5, Meidase P60 type cameras

Hi, I love your videos. I am new to trail cameras, and I am having a hard time finding the right one for what I need. Do you know which cellular trail camera I could have send a picture to my phone every 30 minutes without motion? Even better if I could only have it do this during certain times of the day. Thank you!
Dave you say you're not an expert, but you sure do provide some great information about trail cameras.
Thanks Craig! I appreciate you watching 👍
Very good summary of what to look for Dave! You are an expert on trail cameras - you know a lot and share that knowledge! Great stuff!!
Thanks for watching and for your support and encouragement Dave. It’s appreciated 👍
Great info ... hardware quality( board and chips ) makes a big difference too
Thanks
Thanks for watching Dan! You’re right! Sounds like you may have some experience in that 😜
Hey my FRIEND! Stopping by for a visit today with you! Trail cameras are great! We definitely need one!
Thanks for watching Gary 👍
Very well put together Dave. Lots of good info packed in here
Thanks for watching CJ! Hope all is well! 👍
Hi, would you tell me what you most favorite 940 narrow view camera is for surveillance ( model # and name or link please). . Would i have to change a chip often if there is wildlife daily? One that is small and lasts a long time is preferable. Thank you very much for your time.
This is a very good narrow field of view camera with 940 IR amzn.to/46TKlYm
It will require an sd card and 6 batteries. I HIGHLY recommend Energizer lithium batteries (although more expensive they last considerably longer). If your patient this camera often goes on sale and you can sometimes save 30-40%
I am subscribed to your channel. You provide a lot of good content. Looks like you set your cameras up at 2' to 3' above the ground. I am going to give that height a try. Keep up the great videos.
So what camera is better
ok so whats the best trail camera to buy??
That’s a loaded question! 😁 It really depends what you want from a trail camera. What I’m looking might not be what someone else wants. (I’m not a politician although my answer to that question always sounds like I am) 😂
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Everyone wants the one that took the video of the turkeys :-)
I use the tasco 12mp and I've been very happy with them
Very good video 👍👍
Thanks for watching! The Tasco’s are a good bang for the buck camera. 👍
I'm wanting a camera to setup for capturing bullet impacts on a target from 600 out to 1000 yards, needs to be able to be programmed with a timer delay to start and stop video, would a game camera work?
Unfortunately most trail cameras are wide angle lenses and you would not be able to see POI at that distance
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial I'll be setting it up at the target and editing out a lot of video 🤣
Looking for a camera to watch my
Enclosed trailers with live view. What would your recommendation be?? Thanks!!
Any recommendations on cell trail camera. That some of my property don’t pick up cell service. Thank you in advance
The cellular trail cameras must have cellular signal at all time to operate correctly.
Dave enjoyed your video again. Been looking for 2-3 more but on public land so not looking at 3 digit price. Wifi is not bad in hunting season but summer and early fall very iffy. Just picking your mind on a couple or so, you have more experience than I do on these. Any decent cams come to mind ? Thanks for any help.
Thanks for watching! The Gardepro E5 has been a good camera for me. A good balance of quality images and a reasonable price. ruclips.net/video/k-joTPqzEZE/видео.html
Excellent Dave
Thank you! I appreciate you watching 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial anytime
Would be great to know which video came from which camera
Which cameras are at 3:40 and 9:00 marks?
Thanks for watching. Both timestamps you gave were the same camera. That footage was from the WingHome 630M
amzn.to/3XVT5ut
Awesome! That settles which one I should buy then! Thank You!
very beautiful video 👍 i think it depends a lot on which animals you want to shoot, for me the trigger speed is the most important feature. hunting carnivores often just scurry by in the picture. 0.4 seconds can be too late. where most cameras with 0.4 sec indication rather 1-2 sec need.
Thanks for watching and for your input!
Love my Reolink GoPT!! Thanks to you!!
Thanks for watching! Great to hear you’re enjoying your camera 👍
i am done buying Brownings crap, $150 and they maybe last two years, no more....
i want to capture who steal from my coconuts plantation ..
wide and longer range..
glow can not be notice theft ..
better camo.for hide it from human eye..
mostly better performance with night time(most stealing happen night time)
any recommendations ?
That might be tough because many no glow cameras (can’t be seen by the human eye) are not very good for long range. Here is a camera I use that does fairly well

@@HuntingFarmerOfficial thanks..i will check..
2:32 can someone tell me the camera is used please?
Cameras used at 2:32 was BOG Clandestine trail camera.
Thanks a lot for your time! I have another question I am looking for a camera to make a channel in wild life what would you recommend for the best video quality and sounds? The bog clandestine seems to be good but I wanted to know your recommandations! Also if you have any recommandations on a trail cam to make live video I would like to know the best for this! And finally let me know if all of my idea with a trail cam is realistic or not really. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the video. I have found a narrower FOV allows the image sensor to perform better. Trigger speeds are made up. I have a wired surveillance system that overlaps some of the trail cameras. The trigger starts the buffer, and LEDs at night. The advertised trigger speed relates to photos, video can be 10X longer (I.E. 0.3 to 3 seconds). That would be hard to know if you did not have a second full-time recording camera. Some of the higher mega pixel cameras have very low FPS
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences 👍
Whats you personal favourite trail cam mate ?
This video is great... I did me some learning... really a big help... There are so many to choose from I didn't know where to start...subscribed..thanks.👍
Thank you. I appreciate you watching 👍
I have Vision Pro trail camera, and I turn on to take picture, but it is empty after night in forest, there si no pictures or film, I tried to use it on my dog also, but there is nothing, empty.
PLEASE HELP WITH INFO
What trail camera do you use and why?
I use virtually every brand out there. There is no perfect camera in my opinion. Each one has strengths and weaknesses and you must decide what you value most in a camera and decide from there
The points you make are indeed valid. What must be understood is that each camera has certain design features that make it what it is. Those feature and characteristics may be exactly what works best for some users in certain photography situations but NOT for everyone in every situation. It is helpful for people to think about cars specifications and features. Vehicles are designed to be good at some aspects but may not be good at others. Let's look at an example.
My BMW 528i M Sport is an example of how its design characteristics make an incredible difference between many other cars in its same class. It has only a 4 cylinder engine in a fairly large luxury style vehicle. One would expect rather mediocre performance from that set up. But the engine is tuned for horsepower and has TWIN turbochargers on it. It will do zero to 60 in under 7 seconds. There are plenty of V8 powered cars that can't do that.
So yes, cameras can be designed to give incredible photo quality even if they have less megapixels than some other camera. But just as it costs more to build my M Sport than a car with less performance, manufacturers who build lower megapixel cameras don't always use the highest photo quality lens, sensors, and other components. Some do; some don't. Therefore you cannot just look at one or two factors for camera specifications and determine if the photo quality will be good.
That said, my car can't tow as much as a V8 powered BMW 5 series so if I had a heavy boat, I'd be out of luck. Similarly, some cameras have a wider field of view, greater depth of field, better battery life, a better IR flash capacity, or any of a host of other features than competing models. Just as with pantyhose, there is no such thing as "One size fits all." There is always someone who can't fit in them!
All that said, the true problem with camera review is people post reviews of cameras brand new straight out of the box. Those cameras always work well. They should! Meaning no insult here Dave, but those kinds of reviews are not all that useful. Users need to know how the dang things hold up in actual use over an extended time period. Otherwise, it could be a waste of money to buy any camera if it breaks too soon. I realize the reason most people post product reviews is to persuade other people to buy the cameras through there links, thereby earning some money for the reviewer. And if a reviewer waited three or four years to rate a camera, it would not be possible to buy that model then. But without knowing the RELIABILITY of a camera no matter how good it works right out of the box it's just a gamble to buy any of them. That's why people don't buy cars based upon a brand new, just delivered car reviews. They wait until independent testing agencies put some highway miles on the cars and people who buy and use them have time to post real user reviews.
That's my opinion. Here's why I think that way. Just tonight I pulled a card from one of my game cameras only to discover the IR flash has apparently failed. There were about two dozens videos taken at night, all of which were totally black. The only good videos on the card were the ones taken during daylight. I have kept this camera mounted in the woods 365 days per year since I bought it. However I only purchased it last December right before Christmas so it has lasted only 1 year before it broke.
This camera is a low dollar Wildgame blackout camera. It's the third Wildgame cheap camera I have had fail during the past 6 years. The first one failed in two years. The second one failed in 4 years. And this third one failed in 1 year. I don't care what spin someone puts on a brand new one in an unboxing review or how good the first videos look, I won't be buying another Wildgame as my experience shows they don't last long enough,.
Given that my land is located in Jackson, MS, a very high crime rate urban area, I cannot put any expensive items in the woods and leave them. They will get stolen. So while I understand that high dollar $500 cameras may last much longer, that's not a workable option for me and probably not a lot of other people either, particularly those living in the Deep South.
What would be more useful to me at least would be performance reviews 1, 2, or more years after the cameras you recommend are left in the woods. I'd like to see how they hold up in a climate like mine which gets about 75 inches of rain each year and has extreme humidity during the entire summer. Will they rust or will water seep inside and ruin the electronics? How good are they at resisting tampering by raccoons or chewing on the antennas or wiring by squirrels? Will solar power supplies keep the cameras running during cloudy weather or in deep woods shade? What happens if a battery bursts and corrosive acid leaks into the camera compartment? For that matter, is the camera just too sensitive so that it takes useless photos of birds flying by or the wind blowing limbs around?
It helps immensely to see more than just the customary slow plodding deer walking up to a watering hole or a bunny rabbit one hopping around. That kind of movement does not truly test the trigger speed of a camera. I disagree that cameras being sold today have acceptable triggers speed. On one video from the card I pulled tonight, pack of six large dogs ran across one of my food plots about 20 yards directly in front of the camera. The dogs entered the camera's field of view on the far right and exited on the far left. But the trigger speed was so slow on that 1 year old Wildgame Blackout camera that the lead dog was nearly out of the frame on the left before the camera even started to film the video. The other 5 dogs in that pack were all past the halfway mark in the middle of the field of view, about to also run out of the left side of the frame. That's unacceptable trigger speed in my book but you CAN'T TELL that defect just videoing slow walking armadillos, rabbits, or deer. If that had been a buck chasing a doe in our pre-rut going on right now the camera might have missed the entire thing.
If one of your cameras fails, even if it is a few years old, that sort of review would help evaluate the brand's reliability. So would any instances of having to deal with the manufacturer over warranty issues. Learning about battery life for individual cameras or battery performance in cold weather would also be very helpful. As useful as an unboxing review may be, or a review that points out design differences, we need a lot more to make a genuinely smart decision when buying game cameras.
Your site has always been one of my most favorite ones to watch and still is. I'm a big fan of all your videos. Over time, the site has tilted toward game camera reviews which is also great info to get. But please don't stop here! Give us more! Particularly reviews AFTER the products have been in use for a while.
Keep up the great work you do! We all appreciate it very much.
You make some very good points! I would double check the batteries in the Wildgame cam. If the camera triggers at night but it’s a black video it’s almost always a low voltage problem 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Will pull that camera tomorrow and run a voltage meter on the battery output. Any ideas what the lower limit number must be in order for there to be enough voltage to fire the IR? I have no idea. Thanks for the tip. That could be it.
An after thought to share. Maybe some of your readers may know the minimum voltage requirement for night time IR flash to work on the Widlgame cameras.
Once I owned a Cannon camera that was super sensitive to battery voltage. It required 4 AA batteries of 1.5 volts each. However if the voltage in any of those four batteries dropped to 1.3 volts or less the camera stopped working entirely until new batteries with maximum voltage were installed.
It is ridiculous that foreign manufactures put voltage sensors that won't allow their systems to function unless the camera has peak voltage at all times. But they obviously do.
Essentially keeping voltage at peak levels requires use of lithium batteries, not the cheaper batteries I run in my cameras. Lithium has a different power profile which keeps voltage at top levels until the capacity is used up. Then the lithium batteries just suddenly shuts the system down without any kind of low battery warning.
Since many outdoorsmen use the cheaper batteries instead of lithium, perhaps in your future test you could keep a couple of low voltage but still good batteries around to test the sensitivity of the cameras you test to the power supply profiles.
Nobody wants to see their game cameras shut down before the useful battery power is drained to a genuinely low level that justifies replacement. That just wastes money replacing batteries too soon.
Love what you said about Mega Pixel. My 8 MP tascos take far better footage than some in the 30's.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts and experience 👍
What about Bushnell Core DS 4K ?
Did you change the megapixels up on the cameras themselves. My Moultrie cams gave me different options for resolutions and different features. Just wondering. I want the best like anyone else. More in one ways. Less in some ways.
That's a great question. I have found putting cameras on the best possible quality options helps some cams while hurting others (especially at night). best I can tell you is to experiment with your camera to see how it reacts. 👍
@HuntingFarmerOfficial Thanks for the video. It was full of common sense information that people are interested in. I've had similar experienced with using different phoness, cameras, and other devices, and always wondered how they worked. Thanks for the great video.
It would help if you told us which was which after showing them
You're right megapixels really don't make a difference but if they do you can always shoot raw if the Cam has it but just remember if you shoot
raw it takes up a lot of space that's one.
I'm looking for a T.C. the in fo you gave was a big help I'm looking at Amazon and I looking at trigger point some at 80ft others 100ft with night in looking at a price range from 30 to 80 bucks you have any recommendations.
Thanks and great info
Here’s a camera I recently tested and for the money worked very well! It has great night illumination! ruclips.net/video/J7DWYSPnhl8/видео.html
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial I recently just purchased two TC cams and as I searched even the link that you sent I came across and I found the difference is about $30 the photos they're all the same the one thing that I learned about these cams is you really don't need Wi-Fi if you set it up and your backyard then yes if you're going to set it up for photos to scout you don't need Wi-Fi that'll save you a lot of cash the bigger the megapixel like I said can't tell the difference but now it's time to go get what I'm after the info that you gave in your video was a great help but I do have to ask one thing and that's about the batteries it asked for alkaline batteries but I noticed you put in energizers I believe is there a difference in the batteries. And if I get what I'm after you'll be one of the first to know
Excellent review Dave. You are a pro at these.
Thanks for watching Titus! It’s always appreciated 👍
Good stuff, Dave! Do you have a top three (you personally prefer) for night time video?
Thanks for watching. It really depends on your budget. I personally think the Gardepro E5 and WingHome 630M do a great job at night and are still relatively low cost. I have Brownings and Bog cams that also do really good but have much higher price tags.
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Thanks! I will check into 'em. A cheap one I purchased this season that does pretty good (and has gotten comments on my channel) is one called Xtellar. It is around $60.
Great video, with good information.
The Bog camera with the Turkeys was really high quality, impressed with that.
Thanks for watching! The Bog cameras are pretty impressive 👍
Thanks for the great info as always Dave, the choice of cameras now can be mind boggling.
You’re right Paul. There are so many choices! Thanks for watching 👍
A much needed video! Thanks for making it, Dave 👍👍👍
Thank you! I appreciate you watching 👍
Great video. Of all the trail cameras, do you have a favorite?
Thanks for watching! There is no perfect camera (at least I haven’t found it yet) 😜 It will greatly depend on what your looking for. I like clear videos, good audio, and good IR at night. WingHome 630M has been a longtime favorite, Gardepro E5 has been a great camera along with the Bog Clandestine. Recently I’ve been quite impressed with the newest Campark cameras (T-180, T-300, TC06, TC07) etc.
I agree with you Dave on the megapixels, if I’m not mistaken, the more megapixels the more space they take up on the card. You have done more trail cam reviews of trail cams than anyone else I’ve seen. I am done with the Big Brands, they are no better than the others. I will say I love the white flash for pics but not for video. Always appreciate you sharing your experience / knowledge on trail cams. You are an expert in my eyes based purely on the amount of time you have spent researching and using and the diversity of cams you have reviewed. Thanks !
Thanks for watching Don. I appreciate your support and encouragement over the years 👍
Very interesting, I guess much with trailcams is like cameras in general which comes down to lense quality, aperture size and processor ability.. NightTime of course going more difficult... As you mentioned, reviews as you said, is so very helpful. Awesome video and information. 👍
Thanks for watching and for your input Arielle. I appreciate it 👍
Wow! Was not expecting to see you here in the comments Arielle. 😁 Great video though. He done a great job.

Hi. I really liked your video.
I am a rodent exterminator of rats and mouse.
I am looking for a caméra, that performs very well on the dark, I want to put it in my clients home and see how the rodent reacts to my trappes.
So it should be small camera, that Connect to my clients wifi, that I can have access to the videos from my home in order to prepare a solution in advance before returning to my client house again.
In your experience, do you have any particular suggestion of which camera would make a good job?
Thank you.
Thanks for watching. You’ll need a WiFi security camera. Unfortunately there are no WiFi trail cameras that will be able to do what you need it to do (they won’t connect to your clients WiFi). I believe the Reolink Argus could do what you need. It’s compact and can be operated without the solar panel (as long as you recharge it from time to time). ruclips.net/video/BXRbsYrV9Ec/видео.html
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial
Perfect! I will look into it.
Thank you very much for your help.
have you ever noticed a difference in camera performance from using regular batteries as opposed to lithium or is that strictly a longevity issue?
I see overall better performance with the lithium vs alkaline batteries (especially if your camera is on video mode). Lithium provide higher voltage levels which allows the camera to perform as designed. Unfortunately Energizer Lithium batteries have become even more expensive recently 🙁
I’m looking for a buddy who has an outdoor property he’s trying to sell but the neighbor keeps stealing from him and taking his signs. Trying to get him the right trail cam to catch the intruder but also to be hidden from site so he doesn’t take it. His budget is infinite as he prefers to catch this a hole. Any suggestions?
Thanks for watching. I’d probably suggest a pan and tilt 4G camera mounted up high. Here is a comparison video I did ruclips.net/video/Woru6GQrmeg/видео.htmlsi=MosomMvGUgzPmkFy
I'm looking to upgrade my trailcam for a 2022 browning one. Anyone have some advice on what model to buy? It needs to have the possibility to work on rechargeable batteries, no glow illumination, and I also really like the feature of the hp5 that that it continues to record while the animal is moving in front of the camera.
If you have other trail cam from other brand to recommend, please let me know.
Thanks
I appreciate you watching and hopefully someone will chime in 👍
Hi we have a Ceyomur CY50. The video is going too fast. Can you tell me how to slow this down, thank you
That sounds like a problem with your playback device and not the actual camera?

A lot of great information in this video, Dave! Thank you for sharing the knowledge you have on trail cameras! 👍🏼
Thanks for watching Matt 👍
So which one is which one????
Sorry, I don’t understand
I'm looking for the best quality picture camera with a wide angle with cellular capabilities for a property 1200 miles away from home. Really looking to just keep an eye on the property and not really looking for animals. Sparing no expense what is the recommendation for the best available.
I love the 4G cameras that have the “live view” option. This will allow you to see what is happening at the property at anytime (not just when the camera detects motion). The Reolink TrackMix 4G can automatically track objects while it records them. It can also be moved (left/right, up/down) through the app while you’re 1200 miles away. This will allow you to scan your property at will. I really like this camera. amzn.to/48efQ0Q

@@HuntingFarmerOfficial thank you for the super fast reply, I enjoyed watching a few of your videos and we'll go check out this camera now. Happy new year to you and your family. ❤️🤠
Thank you for that information. I learned a lot from this video about what to look for in a trailcam. My purpose is to find the entry points of one particular unwanted trespasser animal is getting into my property despite fencing and other measures. I know area it appears from and where it runs to when I chase it but I don't know exact breach where it is getting in so that is why I want to set up some sort of device to hopefully catch a glimpse of where it is coming in so that I can try to find a solution to block the entry point.
Thanks for watching and hopefully you can get pictures of the intruder 😁👍
Trigger speed is important for narrower field of view cameras. On a wide angkr camera a slower trigger speed isn't a problem because the field of view is really wide. However, on a camera with a narrow filed of view you want a faster trigger speed so the animal doesn't move completely past the camera before it triggers
I appreciate you watching and for your input 👍
Hey Hunting Farmer, need your knowledge to point me in the direction of a trail camera for really fast moving animals. Sometimes moving from left to right or right to left at up to about 25 mph. They are about 25 - 30 metres away and I need clear photos or videos. Need motion sensing and preferably wifi or card with batteries or anything you may suggest. As you have said, its confusing and misleading out there and I definely need a person like you for sure. Thankyou
If anyone would know what to look for in a trail camera, it would be you. Great overview.
Thanks for your support and encouragement John. I appreciate it 👍
Nice job. You put it in simple terms
I appreciate you watching 👍
Good afternoon.
Excellent review and great explanations.
I was very interested in this Campark-TC06.
Is she as good as Campark says?
Will there be a review only of the TC06?
Thanks for your videos, I watch them all the time.
Regards,
Erik from Brazil.
Thanks for watching! Yes there will be a complete review of the TC06 in the near future 👍

I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Good info, I found the information on the boxes are accurate as well.
I appreciate you watching 👍
Great video. Perhaps have you done one on cellular trail cams?
I appreciate you watching 👍
Stay tuned! I've been comparing numerous popular cell cams. The head to head comparison video should be completed in the next week or two 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial I couldn’t wait. Ordered a exodus render. Hope it’s a good one. $260 on the Amazon rn.
@@JeffRigney no worries! Enjoy 👍
We got a delta base 24mp yesterday an has been irritating since takin it out of the package ,the website is a pain in the butt we had a selesman talk it up but come to find out he fibbed alot
That sounds frustrating 🙁
I appreciate you watching 👍
Wish I knew what I’m doing wrong. I’m on my second trail cam, and I couldn’t get either one to take any pics! Read all the directions, went on RUclips and watched setup videos, still won’t work. Guess I’ll just return it again, and give up on having one…
What model cameras were you using?
Which trailcam under 80$ do you recomend? Thanks for the videos, they're great!
Thanks for watching! I really like the WingHome 630M and the Gardepro E5
Never judge by megapixels. A 10 Mp sensor might be the best of all. I judge by 2 things above all: How long is the warranty and how do they respond to warranty claims.
I appreciate you watching and for your input 👍
Thank you sir for making this very helpful video!
I had a trail cam in my apartment about a decade ago just to have some fun to see if there might be some strange paranormal stuff going on and, of course, it was a camera with the inferred light. And so, the curious thing I saw were these white orbs floating and sometimes shooting around. It was pretty creepy but I also saw some videos that others had made and those also and the mysterious orbs in them. In one of my recordings there was like a big chunk of white stuff that feel down towards the floor. Anyway, I'm curious if you've ever set up a trail cam in your residence and had it happen to you as well? Also, do you have any idea what's going on with said phenomena?
Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching! I only remember using a trail camera in the house one time….my wife was not impressed! 😂
Do any work for up close bird watching?
Thanks for watching. Most trail camera don’t do well for up close action. Must are made for a much wider field of view. With that said, they’ll work but you won’t get the highest quality up close pictures or videos
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Thank you 😊
Need some help setting up my browning cell please
I have several Browning trail cameras but none of their cellular cameras. Not sure I’ll be able to help 🙁
I can’t wait to watch another video! I love the deer that visit my property. I’ve named all 4 of them the Sex in the City cast because I live in the city limits and they are city deer! I would love a camera just to watch them eat at our fruit trees. If you have a favorite that’s affordable please let me know! I’ll check to see if you already have that video up and watch it in the morning! Thank you!
I appreciate you watching. There are numerous cameras that work really well and are relatively inexpensive. I really like the Gardepro E5, WingHome 630M and Meidase P60
I can set the migapixel 8 16and 26 and I got it on 8 and is perfect
Avoid the "STEALTH CAM" brand. They sent me four replacements due to defects. The last one does not measure up to ANY of the other brands I use.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience
I consider them throwaway cameras. I had 3 and they worked fine for a year or so. Water damage was a big issue.
