  • Note that this video features the Meidase S3 Pro Trail Camera, but these days I prefer the Meidase SL122 Pro Trail Camera because it is better for close-ups such as within a few feet of a bird feeder. Both cameras have almost identical settings.

    Thank you for such a clearly thought out and well presented video. This is my first attempt at viewing the nighttime wildlife on my extremely rural AZ property. I’ve provided a water source for years and last week have finally gotten myself a trail cam!

    I have never used a trail cam and just bought this exact one. Seeing all the settings was getting me nervous but you video is what I will use when I set it up. REALLY, REALLY helpful! Great video! Thanks!

      Enjoy! Great cameras. I also like their Meidase SL122 Pro for areas where I need an extra wide angle view.

    Thank you for uploading this video, my wife to be got me this camera for valentines day, and I wasn't sure how to set it up, we live in a little village called Pott Row in England, we've been feeding Hedgehogs.....or so we think it could be a neighbors cat , thanks to you advise I can now set it up and hopefully discover what is feeding in our garden!!

    Right now my camera picks up traffic at night that is at least 200' away. Is there a way to shorten the distance the camera will see motion without affecting the quality of close movements. Does this involve the PIR sensitivity setting which I have presently set at high?

    Just set up my S3. Your tutorial certainly helped. I was wondering what firmware version you have and have ever updated? My firmware version doesn’t match the list on the meidase website.

    • @randyb964
      @randyb964 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the cam works fine, I probably wouldn't worry about updating it. My firmware is probably out of date by now, but as long as it works I probably won't update again. They don't seem to make huge changes in the firmware.

    Regarding settings:
    Do I need WI-FI on to join Bluetooth?
    I don’t have WI-FI at the location of the trail cam but I want to view activities on my IPhone. I did download the Meidase app but it’s not working with Bluetooth. Can you please help?

    Is there a setting for Night Vision? My video worked but it was totally black.

  • @rayteale8883
    @rayteale8883 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks. You gave me what i am looking for. Timer settings. The time the camera is ENABLED. I set mine on 20.00 and off at06.00 for a test , nothing! Realised i did not set Date/Time!. Will disable timer (ON at 00.00 , OFF at 23.59) Hopefully that should fix it!👍👍

    Nice video. How do you tell it how long to wait between captures. I mean, I know i can set it to record for 30 seconds, but how do you tell it how long to wait before it starts recording again?

  • @nicholashalvis5376

    Just purchased waiting for it to be delivered. Great video. I have one question if it’s a bluetooth 😅Camera, can I review the photos and videos from my phone without removing the SD card? Thanks.

    this is basically the gardepro A3, isn't it? at least it is the exact same case, for sure.
    does this cam use the starvis sensor?

  • @duddy7031
    @duddy7031 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this tutorial - it's made my decision! But I have a couple of questions before I buy. I see in the spec that the Motion Activated Distance is 25m (82ft). Is that the same as Capture Range? And why would you adjust the sensitivity? I want to follow the hedgehogs in my garden so I will be looking at close range (maybe 5-10 feet). Would this camera still give a good pic at that close range? And then, batteries. I take on board yourcomment about rechargeable. But how long would a standard disposable duracell battery last if, for example, I set 2x 2hour periods of video each night - would they last a night, a week, a month? Many thanks, and I'll be watching again without a doubt when I get the camera!

    • @randyb964
      @randyb964 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sorry for the late reply, just saw this. For close shots, I enjoy the SL122 Pro Trail Camera aka Meidase P40 with a wide-angle lens. I use it not bc of the wide angle per se, but because it doesn't blur with my close-up shots. The S3 doesn't handle close-ups well. The reason I turn the sensitivity up or down usually has to do with how many leaves and branches are nearby. You'll notice in some areas the cameras are triggered way too often by nothing extraordinary eating up the batteries and filling up your memory card. If that happens, maybe clip a branch or two or turn down the sensitivity. If you only set the camera for a few hours a night, I wouldn't be surprised if they lasted at least a few weeks. I use a variety of many disposable AA batteries that work fine including Duracell. I wish rechargeables worked great with the cams, it's just they don't have quite as much voltage.

      Lots of waffle & mediocre explanations of the 'whys" for a quality tutorial.
      The capture range is different to detection range, & both differ with conditions. A photo in daylight vs torchlight for capture range.
      Detection range is the motion sensor trigger range. Temperature & atmospheric conditions affect that. But more important, the size/activity/proximity of the triggering entity. Sensitivity can be adjusted up or down to compensate.
      Program the camera, then sit it on the kitchen table & take a series of experimental photos/videos to test range & quality of that individual camera.
      If behaviour study is critical, video. If presence/absence, photos will often do the job. Photo burst of 3 will usually show what's happening, with 10, 20, 30 sec intervals as options to try for suitability. Photos are much quicker to check & save the ones wanted, & take less SD space.
      & have field of detection as clean as possible from moving objects (grass, branches), and ones that will reflect flare from the illumination system, & not into sunrise or sunset.

  • @renooggooner

    One question: If I want to get close-up video of my bird house, how far away from the birdhouse should I set up the cam?

    • @pennsbirdwildlife
      @pennsbirdwildlife  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Excellent question. I actually plan to make a video on that topic as I spent much time experimenting with that, but for now you can easily figure that out by setting it to take a 2 minute video and then gradually move it closer and closer verbally saying the distance. Then review the footage and see where it's best for you. I think the closest you can get it in focus is about 7ft. Know that the extreme closeups I show on this channel I get with the similar Meidase SL122 Pro which has a wide angle lens. That one I can get to be about 3 ft away in focus.

    Thx, if you remove the batteries will the settings be retained?

    • @pennsbirdwildlife
      @pennsbirdwildlife  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes thank goodness. If you change the batteries quickly it may even preserve the date and time.
