Thank you. Great question, I always use the highest record setting possible in this case 4K with Medium sensitivity and set my record duration for around 18 seconds. I hope that helps!
Tom, really useful thank you. Having got one for Christmas is there anything on what best settings to use for video length or target recording time? Thanks Douglas
Hi Douglas! Thank you, glad I could help. Personally I always go for 15-18 seconds duration videos. That way, if birds are just appearing and disappearing then you don’t fill the memory card up too quickly with wasted footage. They’re also easier to edit together if you’re using the footage to make videos. Hope that helps, enjoy your present!
Thanks for the informative video. Will amphibians i.e. cold blooded creatures trigger the photo and video functions? Does the camera detect motion or heat?
Thank you! That’s a great question and yes they will, provided that they’re large enough to be picked up on the camera or the sensitivity of the camera is strong enough to detect them. For capturing amphibians, I’d recommend having the camera low down and close to the water source, that way the camera is more likely to detect their motion. Heat detection would be amazing but also very expensive, motion detection (like this one) generally works very well. Hope that helps! 😊
Thank you! I’ve found the batteries will last around 9 months and often longer, depending on weather conditions and how often the camera is triggered. So it’s hard to say exactly. Hope that helps 😊
Yeah sure! It takes AA batteries so you can simply replace them with new ones when you need to. Battery life will depend on how often the camera is triggered so it’s hard to say. The box says up to 9 months and in my experience they’ve definitely lasted at least 6 months. Another option is to use the AUX In option which I think is 9V but that will require a mains connection. I hope that helps! 😊
Really nice upload, and very informative. Whatever frame rate does the camera record in when shooting 4K video? Thank you for sharing and your unbiased view of what looks to be a decent trail camera. Phil.
Thank you! From what I can tell it’s 23.98p. I checked the manual and couldn’t see it anywhere but that’s definitely what I edited these clips as. Hope that helps. I’ve really enjoyed using it, so I tried to be as unbiased as I could 😊
Excellent overview.. On the strength of this I ordered the same model as a backup to my Bushnell trail cam, which is starting to become a little temperamental.
I haven’t actually tried connecting it to an iPad if I’m honest, but you can get a SD Card reader that plugs straight into an iPad which would allow you to check the footage from it. Hope that helps! 😊
After getting some excellent photos and videos on mine I am having an issue. I can turn it on and go through the menu no problem. Then I set it up to take photos and it takes one or two and then stops. I think that at some point I may have somehow put the wrong memory card in the slot. The one that I have is 4GB and as stated in the video it should be 32GB . However before I turn my house upside down looking for the correct card can anyone confirm that this is likely to be the problem. I am a bit surprised that after a couple of shots the camera just becomes inoperative. You can't hear the click of the sensor activating as though it just turns off. Is that likely to be because the card does not have enough memory ? Help appreciated as I have a very active mole under a sheet of ply that I would love to capture
Hi, yeah I would expect even a 4GB card to take more than a few shots. Have you tried formatting the card before using it? Just make sure that you’ve saved any photos that you want to keep onto your computer. You could try lowering the resolution of the photos and see if it captures more shots that way? The final option would be to reduce the time delay between photos taken to see if camera can stay slightly more active. Hope that helps!
Good review but No Comment as to if this camera will stand the test of time. The Answer is IT WON'T, ours is two years old and the Buttons on the Keypad are unusable, just beeps and moves to next item , Making it IMPOSSIBLE to PRGRAM the Date and Time. Buy an APEMAN Instead
Thank you. At the time of recording I had only had the trail camera for a couple of months so I couldn’t say for certain how well it will age. It’s almost a year old now and I haven’t had an issues yet, but I do plan on making a follow up video at some point so we’ll see. I would also love to test different trail cameras in the future, so maybe I can check out one from Apeman too. I always appreciate any recommendations, thanks 😊
Excellent video and showed me exactly what I wanted to see. Now going to purchase one for my parents. Think they will love it. Thank you.
Thank you! Glad you liked the video and I hope your parents enjoy the camera 😊
Really informative. Many thanks 👍
That was a very well constructed, beautifully edited and your persona and your enthusiasm really did give that camera a wonderful appraisal...
Thank you ☺️
Nice video. What settings are you using on the drop down menu's as there is a selection. Thanks

Hi, how long does the battery last? Great video thank you.

Great video thanks. Can you explain how you charge the battery and how long the battery lasts please.
Yeah sure! It takes AA batteries so you can simply replace them with new ones when you need to. Battery life will depend on how often the camera is triggered so it’s hard to say.

@@OnlyNature Thank you so much! The information on the batteries is much appreciated 🙂.
Hello I have the exact camera but I have lost it owners manual. How do I get to see what pictures have been taken on the unit itself thank you

Do I need to have a computer or will it work with an iPad? Thanks

@@OnlyNature Thanks I will give those ideas a go. I've also ordered a 32gb card . I think my old one is stuck in my laptop
