Duane, how much light do you have to have for this camera to see colors when recording? I can put the camera under a light and see things in color, but I move the camera from under the light and it goes to black and white. It's daytime and it's in black and white.
Just ordered one thru your link. I should get it tomorrow and will check out your setup process again. I'm the most tech savvy between my hubs and I so I'll be the one setting it up. Mind you, I'm a less than novice on being tech inclined. Wish me luck.
Hey Adrian! Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for watching!👍🏻
@@mountainbuck Oops! I meant to say I'm NOT the most tech savvy but I think you figured that out. Thank you for your kindness to help and just might have to take you up on that. We're seniors so that probably clears up a lot in why I appreciate your help if I need it. Will let you know if I did it. Have a great evening Kiddo!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching Trophy Hunter! 👍🏻
Can you toggel the flash on and off on this camera?
How do you know what series camera your getting?
I like these videos Duane! I just snagged one of these cameras from your link, so hopefully you get some sort of kickback there! I’m in South Central PA, I think I recall you’re in PA also. Keep the videos coming!
Hey Howard! Thanks so much! I’ll get a small commission (at no cost to you). I appreciate it! Yep, I live in the Pocono Mountains area and am familiar with Lancaster/Harrisburg area. I’m probably going to be down that way in a few weeks for the Great American Outdoor Show.
4k video + 120 deg camera view is very tempting for me to buy one of these except, it doesn't look like you are able to lock the front panel. I prefer trail cams that you can lock so that they can't be tampered with. Just saying...Love the content MB!!!!
Hey thanks so much Billy Mann! I appreciate you watching and the feedback👍🏻
To view the photos/video, do you have to pull the SD card or does the camera send a notification to your cell phone to view motion?
Hey SalandLetty! You have to pull the SD card to view the photos and videos. Thanks for watching👍🏻
You can watch them directly on the trail cam. Hit the replay button. Unless yours is a slightly different version
@@cmargheimableare you sure about that? Coz that’s what I’m trying to find out and nobody explains it well.
Is there any way to connect this camera to your phone so you can be alerted when there’s movement or even see video through your phone?
Negative of that one. You will need a cellular trail camera to do that. I have tons of videos on them if you’re interested.
i’ve bought two and returned the first one to get this one i set it up exactly how you did and it’s not taking pictures besides as soon as i set it up and walk under the feeder to test it i know i should have pictures because i’ve sat in the stand and watched them at the feeder multiple times
Hey masonhuey! Ah man… that sucks. Sorry to hear that. I hate to say it, but sometimes you’ll get a dud. I had three of the same camera and the motion capture and trigger speed worked great on two, but the third one just didn’t capture. It’s a pain, but I’d send it back.
I just bought it also & the exact same thing , only recorded me walking past it, didnt record deer in daylight & nothing at all at night & I watched raccons & deer last night from my window :((
Dose this camera make any sound when in video or photo mode besides the lights
Hey Kid! I’ll have to double check that. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Too bad the buttons aren't backlit, or are they?
Please give me a honest answer. Is there any trail cam camera that doesn't give out light when it takes a picture or video. All of them ive seen reviews on put out light
www.trailcampro.com/collections/no-glow-infrared-trail-cameras
Hey man, really like this camera. One question i do have is. When recording at night and it captures something does the camera flash? Do any lights come on? Im trying to catch a thief. So i need to know. Day time wont matter i dont think. But please let me know, thanks for the info.
Hey Steven! This camera has infrared lights for nighttime recording. Yes, it will emit subtle red lights that will be visible at night. If you need a camera that doesn’t emit red lights at night, you should look into a “No glow” camera
I believe I may show the infrared lights in this comparison video

@@mountainbuck ok thanks
Isn't the vikeri 1 a no glow camera

April 16, 2024, Hi, I just found you channel looking for useful help with my new trail cam. Hopefully you might can help me. I purchased a "no name" trail camera off Amazon with good reviews. The box just says "4K HUNTING CAMERA 4K UHD Made in China" no manufacturer or model number. It does work and I managed to take a video of a bob cat near the chicken coop last night. However, there are several settings that I'm unsure of and to what level they should be set. It has a manual but it only says what the possible setting are but not why you would want them. The settings are 1) Motion Filter - on or off 2) Fill Light Distance - near, middle or far 3) PIR - High, Medium, or Low 4) Detection Delay - 5 sec to 1 hour
The manual says it has a trigger time of .05s Does that in anyway interact with Detection Delay? The camera does work and I'm satisfied with it but if I'm able to get more/better results that would be an added bonus. Thanks!
Hey I’d be happy to help! 1. I’m not sure what the motion filtering is about, so I would just leave it off for now. 2. It depends on where your target is for night shots. If your chicken coop is pretty close, I would put the fill light (basically the infrared flash) on near and see how the photos/videos look at night. 3. This is your night time flash (most likely infrared lights). If your photos are coming out and lit well at night, I would leave it as is. If they are dark, bump it up! 4. I’d set the detection delay between 5-10 seconds. This is how quickly the camera will take another photo if the subject is still in front of it. If you have it set to an hour, you’ll see a bob cat, but then have no idea what it did because it wouldn’t take another photo for an hour. This isn’t related to trigger speed. Trigger speed is how quickly the camera can take a photo when the subject enters the frame. A fast trigger speed will capture an animal running past the camera. A slow trigger will miss it. Best of luck with your trail cam! 👍🏻
can you check the picture on the camera on the screen?
Hey Joseph! Yes, you sure can 👍🏻
Two questions.
Have you tried the new mini Vikeri?
Has anybody tried a solar panel with an onboard lithium battery with these?
Hey Keith! I haven’t checked out the mini yet. Hopefully soon! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
@@mountainbuck thanks for the video
@@417Keto any time! I’ll keep you posted if I get to check out the mini
I am ignorant on trail camera, but intent to buy one. When I receive this one in the mail, does it have everything to make it work, or do I have to buy more electronics or a card of types to make it work?
Hello and thanks for watching. Yes, this camera comes with a memory card and batteries, so you should be all set. You can see it here: amzn.to/3WZYdyY
@@mountainbuck Soon to find out if it is the neighbors dog, a coyote and whatever, eating what I put out for the wild cat. 🙂
Absolutely! Best of luck!
I purchased one last week the only thing I would like to see them do is put bigger latches on the camer it too small in for cold weather if you all thumbs
Hey James, good point! Bigger latches would definitely help out. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
what kind of knife is that at 38 seconds? Thats slick
Hey that’s the Gerber Epic Knife. I’m a big fan as it has a bottle opener at the end of the handle www.amazon.com/Gerber-Knife-Serrated-Point-30-000176/dp/B0034JTARI
Of course its currently unavailable! Appreciate the share, I'll keep an eye if it comes back in stock. Thanks!@@mountainbuck
Looks like there are a couple on eBay, but holy smokes they’re expensive www.ebay.com/b/gerber-epic/bn_7024758947
It would have been helpful if, when going through the settings, you narrated what you were doing, so that those following could look at their menu items while you narrated what you were doing .. for those of us that are old and slow 😊
Thanks for the input! I will work on that for next time 👍🏻
Hey Duane. I just got my first camera. The 4k vikeri. I set it up in the menu. Then I am trying to do a test video and having problems recording. It says to turn it on and watch the blue light in front of camera until the light goes off then it will record for twenty seconds. Then go back to test and push replay to view the video. I'm not getting any video. How can I test the sensors to know if they're good,? Or am I doing something wrong? Please help
Hey Steven. Are you walking in front of the camera after you’ve turned it on? Here’s a way you can tell if your camera is recording… take it to a dark room (no light like a bathroom) and turn off the lights. Turn on the camera (make sure it’s in video mode) and stay in front of it until you see the infrared lights come on. If you have it set to record for 20 seconds, those red lights will be on for 20 seconds. Give it a few and then go to play mode and review your video.
@@mountainbuck how do I know it's in video mode? I know how to turn it on, but how do I put it in video mode?
Turn the camera to test mode with the on/off switch. Press the menu button. Press “ok” on mode. Arrow down to video and press “ok”. Arrow down to video resolution and press “ok”. Select the highest numbers by pressing “ok”. Arrow down to video length and press “ok”. Select how many seconds you want to record by using the up or down arrows and then click “ok”. Press menu to go back. Turn the switch over to the “on” position and close and latch the camera. Wait a few seconds and the camera is now ready to record videos.
@@mountainbuck ok it recorded. Now to erase that video do I go back and format sd card again?
@@mountainbuck ok, I did it. Now tell me how to zoom in on a video, please
Does it have audio ?
Hey Erin! Yes it has audio. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Hey Duane. I set this camera up just like you said. I set the record time for 20 seconds, and it records for 20 seconds. No color. And after that 20 seconds it does nothing. Ive tried it half a dozen times. Nothing different happens. It will record for the amount of time I tell it to record, but then stops and nothing else will happen. It's kind of like a test video or something, just won't do any recording after the first video. I've set it up for about 45 minutes but the only thing it recorded was the video time I had it set to. Nothing else. Tell me what you think is wrong. And no color at all when recording.
Are you turning it to “on” and not “test”?
Also, check to see how much delay time you have between videos.
@@mountainbuck yes. After I set it up I turn it to the on position, close it up and place it to record.
@@mountainbuck Ive changed it too. From 10 sec to 30 and still does the same thing. Just like I was doing a test run
I've tried everything that makes sense and it will record what ever length of video I tell it to and nothing else. Use a 10 second shot lag and it still won't record anything after the first video. I've even pulled the SD card out and put it back it. Cleared the card and set it all up again and it does the same thing.
I own 5 Vikeri cams and love them!! One word of advice / the new cam will not operate with Lithium batteries - at least this is my experience so far.
Hey secretsquirrel! Excellent point! Only alkaline. Thanks for the input 👍🏻
@@mountainbuck most welcome and love the content you push out. Keep up the long and hard work! Many are benefiting from it.
@@MoldingLegends thanks so much! I appreciate that 💪🏻
Does it have audio ?
I use 8x panasonic 1,2v nihm battery and it works
Why do the batteries only last a day
Hey Mac! Hmmm… I’ll have to do a more extensive battery test of this. How many photos and videos did your camera take during that time?
Mountain Buck hello I would say about 24 photos maybe the videos about 8 and I have it on a very short record time at the time I was using 8 batteries so was surprised it was out of battery life in two days
@@maliciousmac5355 oh wow. That’s not much at all. Thanks for the info 👍🏻
Can we get a house/trophy room tour?
Haha hey Dylan! I’m actually working on my man cave / trophy room at the moment. Trying to make a makeshift studio with the trophy wall as a background. It’s a work in progress. Thanks for watching!
Illustration for settings too fast, can’t get it to work, frustrated but will persevere
Hey Paul, sorry if I went too fast on that part. It’s a bit boring to click through the settings. Did you know you can slow down TH-cam videos? Also, if you have any questions on the setup, let me know! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Looking at your video, there is no way that’s 4K. It looks like sharpened 720P.
so the trigger time is not .1 seconds . Probably because they had too many false triggers, I've missed a few shots because of this slow trigger time with my vikeri.
Hey Gaylan! Thanks for the input and thanks for watching!
@@mountainbuck the question is: Can the trigger time be shortened by adjusting the video resolution?
vickeri does not exist anymore. they have not responded to support emails since January., all I want from tyhem is to know how to reset to factory as the password does not work
Hey Rhino Rider! Have you reached out through Amazon? That might get you a response.
@@mountainbuck Thanks, amazon will not talk to anyone after 30 days from purchase. I have no way that I can find to let them know I have been trying to get support since january when the camera was a week old. There is suppose to be a way to doe a by pass on the password when starting the camera by pressing a few buttons when starting. You could do this with the A1
@@RhinoRider2006 I’ll see if I can find it in the instruction manual in a few days when I get back home. If you go to the “ask the seller a question” section on Amazon, you can get through to them regardless of if it’s 30 days beyond purchase.
@@mountainbuck thanks but there is no ask the seller button I have checked, no way to contact amazon or the seller
Framerate is a little bit low...
Fair point, Varimos. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Trigger speed is lacking, heads up.😊
Thanks for the heads up! 👍🏻
Not a fan of these cameras. I've run several and they fail to get good pictures of anything smaller than a truck.
They seem to struggle with detection range
Crack open that sd card and you will find its just a housing with a micro inside
Oh wow that’s crazy. I’ll have to check it out.
@@mountainbuck most are these days, pretty much all the cheap ones. The only ones I have found that are real are high end high transfer rate cards.
Thanks for the heads up!
Don't waste your money on this brand they are no good
Hey Phillip! Thanks for sharing your experience. Can you elaborate a bit on what went wrong with your camera or why you are dissatisfied?
@Mountain Buck it freezes up I have to remove the batteries to get it back into test mode it won't let me view photos or videos
Oh wow. Ok thanks for letting me know.
