Good job you two! i'll tell you a little trick....The cord from solar panel to camera, you need to move the solar panel up higher so there is a curve at the bottom of the cable..... So water will drip off at the curve now down inside the solar panel....
Nice video, but I would make the following suggestions: Cover the front lens and the mic hole with masking tape and spray paint the camera either black or dark green, or whatever matches its background. And second, the camera should probably be mounted with a ladder, out of arm's length to any passer-by. Cheers!
In NY, the definition of Trespassing so, "To enter, or remain Illegally upon real property." Merely stepping across an unmarked, unposted property line is, on its own, illegal. It becomes illegal when it is clearly posted, or if the property owner tells to stay out, and your enter anyway. I've heard every argument there is for trespassing, including, "you have all this property, and can't use it all the time", "My kids don't have a yard to play in, but you own all this property", "I'm not hurting anything", and my all time favorite, "I don't believe in property lines." Turned out they didn't believe in having to pay the fine for trespassing either, until the Magistrate explained "sentencing guidelines" with fine/jail time" options.
G'day Good people, this is George from Australia, a long time subscriber and a daily viewer of your videos. I just saw this video and I'm surprised that you weren't aware of this type of technology that has been available for many years, in fact, I first got a proper trail camera with no reflective services when the phone systems were working on G2 mobile service, they have the exact same functions with the sim and microcards, they also are offered with the solar panel for power supply. I got mine about 12 years ago and as you experienced with your camera, you will get a pic or a series of pics or even a video clip with the recorded data, this is all transmitted almost instantaneous so that if the trespasser spots the camera and tries or destroys it, the date was already transmitted to your mobile phone and therefore you had a chance of seeing something that could identify the perpetrator(s). While mentioning the possibility of having your camera stolen or smashed, that issue has been addressed by the manufacturers of these trail cameras that to start with are a lot more difficult to detect/spot and therefore giving you the element of surprise while your white camera would be easily spotted and if the intruder has a bad temper, the chances are he would go from behind the camera avoiding being detected and rip the camera off the tree and smash it or deactivate it. The proper trail cameras have a metal box that will protect the camera and a steel cable that goes through the metal box and wraps around the tree so, stealing it or destroying it would be a much more difficult task to almost impossible unless the person had spotted the camera and come back with all the tools necessary to take it away but that would be prone to happen. These cameras went from G2, G3 and now G4 mobile service, this means that the signal becomes stronger with each upgrade making it almost impossible to run out of range (exceptions do apply with any mobile service) so if you think you should (and I believe you should) instal cameras on main entrance tracks to the property I would suggest looking for the proper camouflaged trail cameras with the metal box and steel cable, you would feel better to know that the cameras will be more difficult to spot and that they have a good/strong metal case and steel cable to prevent them from disappearing. Sorry, I just thought that you should know...! George
I have one of these 4G cameras at my farm property for security purposes. It's worked well over the last few yrs, but it has a few flaws. Certain times of the yr, for some reason the angle of the sun in the morning sets it off and it will go off over and over for an hr or two. The other problem is on occasion after it detects motion and goes off, it will then continue to go off over and over again, sometimes for up to an hr even though there's no motion w/in view. All that said, I'm still happy with it and glad to have something to give a little pc of mind.
On their website it shows a camo cover, but the base is still white. I think I'd hit it the base with a can of spray paint. I agree, in the woods someone would steal it.
What lovely people,nice to see some Americans that just love wild life and don't think they have to shoot everything that moves because hunting is a right,good luck with camera your doing a great job
Solar panels are coming a long way. I use them on fence chargers,cameras and even bug zappers. Very handy and more reliable than you may think. Tip...Always face south for best results.
This camera is awesome, I installed one at a pump station in the woods. It’s been running for 2 months and works Perfect. For ten bucks a month it can’t be beat. It has great sound and you can talk through it.
rattown99 ... if I buy a TMobile SIM card will it work with my iPhone that is with Verizon? This is the part that’s confusing to me. I want to know if I have to switch services to use the T-Mobile SIM card. TIA
Thanks for that review M&M. We live in the Detroit area and have our vacation place in Northern Michigan. We don’t have power or internet there, just a generator and cellphones when we’re there. I’ve had a cellular gamecam in the past but I would only get an image if it thought it saw something. Then it died and I never replaced it. What you just reviewed is exactly what I’ve been wanting. I think I’ll pick one up. Thanks again.

Went to the website and for $240 not a bad option. Just got to make sure that T-Mobile covers the area you are wanting to put the camera since they are the only carrier that this company has partnered with. Going to do more investigating to see if this is an option for me. Thanks guys!
Enjoyed this video. We have 125 acres with 100 of that woods and a creek. You are correct that the main problems happen in hunting season. We spent a couple of years “confiscating” trail cameras and feeders. Now have the cameras hid and working. After trying to be nice.....we did turn one trespasser in to the sheriff based on trail cam pic. Word got around about that. Like the product you demoed. Would be better in camo than white.....
Very thoughtful that you: 1) made it very easy to locate by not concealing or camouflaging it, and 2) installed the camera low enough to minimize a potential injury to a tree-climbing thief.
I'll be interested to see a followup video regarding how this worked out for you. If it's favorable, I might purchase one or two setups of my own. The security of our property more than justifies the cost. I have a few people who are neighbors that are allowed on my property and have access from a different point other than our driveway. I have warned them to let us know when/if they are going to be there either by stopping by or just a simple phone call since we like to shoot on occasion. I don't want/need any accidents happening on our property.
Not sure if you'll see this as your video was 16 months ago but if one could get the cameras in other than white it would make a nice camera on a well site. I worked with one customer that used trail cameras and hide them on site roads and at tank batteries. Thanks for the review. Watch you and Josh as much as we can, two great channels.
In your case you could build a custom fit birdhouse. Mount the solar panel on one side of the roof. Make the opening large enough to flush mount camera lens. And maybe one side hinged to open and allow access to the camera. May be a dumb idea, just a thought.
I have several Wi-Fi cameras within range around the property, and I simply name the camera the name of the place I put it of the area it's watching. Your's today would've been named "Apple Orchard." After you get several it helps keep up with which is which easily...😉... Good looking set up. Needs to be black in color or camouflaged.👍
Jon from Queensland Australia here, thanks so much for sparing us the obligatory and painful 20 minute unboxing process as so often happens when something is being unboxed for the first time. Good video.
That looks like a great camera. Unfortunately, up here in Canada, it would cost a fortune for cell service, as we get hosed up here. I have 8 trail cameras on my property, and get tons of pictures of the local wildlife. I have had trespassers before, but since I put up the "No Trespassing" signs at the two main entrances, and started posting pictures of the people who I caught on the cams, they have slowed down a lot. Love the videos. Cheers...
After getting use to what your videos are all about I have to say I absolutely enjoy them and watch every day. We’re in Pennsylvania are you my mother was born in Johnstown in the conamar valley about two hrs from wheeling West Virginia. Also it’s nice to have a wife like you have who in my opinion is beautiful absolutely beautiful both inside and out. Absolutely love husband and wife team work that’s what marriage is all about two people united as one.
The camera gave me a lot of ideas for use although, it would have been better selling point if you drove back to the house and showed a little footage of animals eating the feed on the ground or actual trespassers.. Unless I missed it, you never traveled any distance from the camera so I feel a little apprehensive of spending the money for the camera set. But thanks for what you did show I really do appreciate it and gave a thumbs-up. You did very well on what you did give and your statement near the beginning, "if I don't like it you won't see this video." You strike me as an honest person so that in itself carries a lot of weight for me but not quite enough to tilt the scale to "yes, that is what I need!" Thanks, Mark
Thanks for your review. Last year someone stole my large solar panels that ran my well in my pasture! It was not visible from the road, so I figure it must have been someone that knew it was there. I never did find out who the thief was. Two thousand dollars later I had to buy new panels. I'm going to purchase this camera and hope I'll be able to catch a thief if it happens again.
Hey Mike, Can you give a 5-6 month review on your Reolink Go? I would really be interested in performance, cost to operate and pro's and cons. Thanks guys!!
Be careful, that camera will use cellular data so if you don't have a unlimited plan, it could get expensive fast! Might want to check to see what included in that new sim card plan. Love the channel!
Make sure you disable the LED lights used for ‘night vision’. If it ia anything like Reolink's other cameras, the LED’s glow bright red to illuminate if the camera detects movement. Dead give away ;o) You can also set the sensitivity to avoid false alarms, varying it throughout the day if you wish, as well as setting an alarm which pops up on your phone when movement is detected. Loads of other features, although you will need to position the solar panel correctly to catch as much sunlight as possible otherwise there will be insufficient power generated to keep the battery charged. Great video Guys.
I have a Reolink wired (network cable) to watch. The internet comes from the power line - connected to my 1Gig intranet router. Nice. The deer has the corn on the nose!
Cameras can be a great security tool when used properly. They don’t deter all criminals of course or we wouldn’t have bank robberies anymore. If the goal is to be alerted to a trespasser/criminal etc the live alerts/moninoting is key. To address the deterrence issue the offender needs to know as early on as possible that they have been detected. You could enhance your system by installing a couple of loud speaker sirens or some audible notification system with the speakers in different areas. Having two in the woods causes the sound to come from many different directions confusing the offender and less chance they can locate it to terminate it. These can be run off 12 volt solar charged batteries as well and you could use a device and app like wemo to turn it on and off with your smartphone. To use wemo specifically you would need 120 voltage to hardwire the system but if loud enough they don’t need to be locted far from your homes power source. Either way a multilayered system will provide the best results.
You guys are fun to watch! I wish I was your neighbor. I have a remote vehicle gate and have serverial issues. Thanks for the camera information i just bought one. You guys have a great day!
For the past year I've been researching cameras for the same purpose on my property & I am going to try this Reolink. Mike, you have helped Reolink sell another one. Ha! Ha! But, I do wish they were available in camo. I will paint mine camo before I install it in my woods. Enjoyed the video! Thanks, Mike & Melissa!
What a pain to deal with trespassers,I do not mind the honestly lost or mistakes but the flagrant known trespassers just irk me off.Try getting a solar powered fence charger and hooking it to your cameras to prevent theft.It works wonders.
Thinking of going south for the winter. Don't have internet or landline phone and I need something to watch the house. Ihis is almost perfect for what I need. Only thing would be to use multiple cameras on one cell circuit, one watching a thermometer and the fuel oil guage inside and one watching the driveway outside. Thanks!
Mike, firstly let me say your video is what prompted me to investigate, then purchase a Reolink Go camera! I have had issues, pretty much from the jump with the cameras stutter stop intermittent operation. Typically will not stream a video for any length of time. I should add that I have tried any number of adjustments afforded me via the camera app. As a result of this type of poor operations, I have had theft of construction materials, as well as trespassers in my yard. ( Fenced residential property ). Was wondering if you have issues of staccato type operation, as well as noises on the audio, that appear to be internally generated ? Thank You for any feedback !
The only thing that would make it better would be a loud speaker where you could yell at the trespassers. How has this camera performed to date? Would you still recommend it, you should do a follow up video.
if each cameras has a sim card and each sim card requires a phone # and each phone # is added to your cell bill and if you have many cameras, then this will get too expensive. enjoy watching this channel. good work.
I live in Alabama. As nice as southerners are we charge people the first time they enter your property. We have a lot of hunters who come up from Florida who cut fences and wreck your property and hunting. We also use nail boards on trails because we live fifty miles from the farm. We've also had trouble with people dumping trash. I'll have to tryout the cameras. Thanks for the video.
Skykiller hope you have a fence up around your whole property line?..... with keep out no trespassing signs every 20’.... hard to find “property line” anywhere in the world... I don’t hunt, just atv and dirt bike.... and if I roll onto your land sorry but the “property lines” aren’t defined without markings or fences. Trespassers arnt all bad people, your property may just be in between my adventures
Caribbean Dreamin trespassing is trespassing, ATV, dirt bike, jeep, hunting, camping or arrowhead hunting. You know when your not on property you own. In Alabama land doesn't have to be posted. The trespasser has to prove they had authority to be there, and it's only land owner that can give permission. I mentioned the nail boards in my first post. My brother found a car with four flats on the property and had the owner charged with dumping and abandoning a vehicle. The year before he found an ATV with three flats. He drug it to the front of the property and burned it. No one ever claimed it. People take their land seriously here so I would say make sure you have permission in writing before you enter land you don't own.
Awesome, mount it higher out of people's reach, high enough they can't reach the camera with a branch.... Just trying to be helpful.... Think I'm going to get some of these cameras. Thanks for sharing.....
i really like how your were talking about trespasser I have no problem with people walking around on my property but the problem I have is when they just want too destroy it i was living in town in my 20's i was know too throw a party or two but the neibhor was a 18 year old girl she threw a party which is fine but when her lil friends thought it was ok to sit on my truck and throw empty beer cans in the back so I was up at 5 that morning I knock on her door at 6 am and told her too get her lil friends to clean out my truck they were not happy with me but I was always taught to respect others people property
We have a Arlo camera on our property and we also enjoy watching wildlife, I wish it would record at a longer distance we had something come onto the lawn and spin around, it was to far away for the camera to record but we could see the tracks in the snow.
I use the Ring Camera w/Spotlight at my cottage on the lake in PA. We are there on the weekends and it work great. I have one in the back facing down to the lake and one in the front pointing up the driveway. I get text notification as soon as it one is triggered and the video is recorded to the cloud. The video is 1080p but it you try to Zoom from the app it gets grainy. I might look into this camera for viewing my dock area better. We have WiFi but i the Ring requires power and we don’t have power at the dock. This camera might just do what I need. Thanks for sharing.
Nice, but, just like trail cams, some people would steal,; you would have their picture, they would have your camera. But, at least you could give law enforcement everything they would need. Awesome video M&M&P, 😃
I remember a neighbor having a conversation with a trespasser. The guy said "Well, it isn't posted!". To which my neighbor replied "Do you own it?". "No". "Then, son, why are you here?". Point made.
Here in Ga. You must have the permission in writing. I've had people tell me, they've hunted my place for years, I tell them only because I haven't shot you yet..WHAT? My eye sight isn't what it once was, if I see movement, I ground check it. I don't really, I've got some nice optics and would never shoot at movement, but it sure makes their eyes get big! Haven't had a repeat poacher either...Bla Ha Ha Ha Ha. And Better not.
Like the idea of that camera M&M. As you said technology is snowballing the consumer at a unbelievable rate. As far as the deer, I am sure it is looking for that fresh corn. Have a day.
This appears to be the same company from Canada that markets Spypoint Trail Cams, I have 4 of them and very impressed with the photo quality. Great item. Will look at it for security purposes. Thanks
Thanks for the video. I will say that there's nothing wrong with not wanting trespassers on your property. In fact, the very neighbors I find trespassing on my property have gone absolute nutso when they thought I might be trespassing on their land when I wasn't even close and had already had the boundary marked by a surveyor and had installed visible fence posts. I know a lot of people who say the same thing -- "I don't have a problem with people coming across my land," with the usual caveats. However, they will have a problem when one of them surprises them with a Quiet Title action to take title to that portion of property or to establish a prescriptive easement. This is what is happening in Northern Virginia. More and more entitled people are trying to take portions of their neighbor's property. Happened in our last two neighborhoods. We moved to the country to get away from all those nasty HOA subdivision dynamics. Now we have new neighbors from one of those subdivisions who are trying to take a portion of our property that is nearer to their house than it is to ours. They act like they are just waltzing through our stream and wooded area but behind our backs they are collecting info to file quiet title to take it by tacking. We have had to go in hard with a fence and signage and they still enter. I appreciate this video as I have been looking for a good off grid camera that doesnt need WiFi. Trailcams have been letting me down. Although I have found the mere presence of cameras even if not working has cut down on the adventurism on their part.
I don't know to much about electronic stuff but could that company somehow someway look at you through your phone and your devices in your home since you're connected now just curious
Pretty cool little camera , altho I think cell companies should give these things away because they are the gift that keeps on giving . There are better more modular ways of doing this that do not have that reoccurring cost and provide better image quality and fluidity .Solar is so cheap now that you can pepper your property with stations that blend in and are hooked right into your house NVR so you can view anyplace real time . Respond if this interests you , Im not a salesman , just what I used to do in another life and what I use on my place.
signs reading Trespassers shot on site, or, If found here at night you will be found here in the morning, are very effective. Think the biggest issue with anything of this nature is atmosphere, putting a sense of real fear in ones mind is the first step. If a pastor of a local church comes out telling violators to PLEASE leave, vs MR.T coming through, you can feel a huge difference!!
Nice unit, love the quick setup. The fact that it using your mobile cell account I understand the cost is about $10 per month but data extra? Thanks for your demo great job 👍🏼
I live in the Texas Panhandle. We can see for miles so it is hard for anyone to be on your land and not see them. Drove to Memphis, Tennessee one time. While driving in Arkansas I noticed a clearing in the trees ahead and nearly drove off I-40 trying to see what these people thought was important enough to cut down trees for. Memphis has so many trees it is hard to see the sites. Biggest streach of treeless street I saw was a strip mall.
I have reolink Argus 2 wifi cameras up around the house perimeter and they are fantastic. I will look into these 4G connected cameras for the places farther from the house. Looking forward to updates as they get used.
I'm a lifelong hunter and have never gone hunting on a piece of land without first asking the owner's permission, then again I live where you get shot for trespassing.
super6 baker - i lived on a farm along a river in the Ozarks as a kid. Dad NEVER refused anyone, who was Poe_LITE enough to stop at the house and ASK permission 👍🏼 - to hunt whitetails 🦌. Those w/o some sense of propriety - were promptly run off, as owners witnessed them climbing fences, opening gates & such. Personally delivered ‘Removal Requests’ were made: accompanied by 12ga Winchester & S&W .357 mag... not surprisingly ALL complied when faced by armed & pissed off Farmer & Kid. “An ARMED 🔫 Society is a Polite Society” 😃
@@dennismurray8631 Same here Dennis, we owned 3640 acres in eastern Oregon with the most fantastic deer hunting and trout stream. We let anyone that asked fish our stream and hunt on our property.
Hello Morgans!! We watched this video a while back, but our situation doesn’t allow us to use this type. However, circumstances have changed and we’re looking at this camera once again. You’ve had it a year and wondering what your pros and cons are?? Thanks
Hi Mike & Molissa,nice idea with camera, what a great place you've made, Molissa is the best looking trespasser I've ever seen. Great videos, keep them coming. Stay safe& hi to family.
Nice but with that much land you need more cameras and como / paint / green and brown and you should be able to put all of your cameras on the same sima number one in each camera .. nice job WELL DONE.
Two 40 watt amplifiers (not as good as 250 watt but good enough) set up in the garage to play loop Rocky Burnet's "Toein the Line" with the flick of a switch. When hunters appear on camera (even 20 acres away) they don't stick around loo long. So yes, the camera notifies us and we turn on the tunes for everyone to hear. PS common sense says hide the final mounting place of the camera so it's not obvious.
I have a "Golden" named Nugget. Nugget just turned 12 and has slowed noticeably. We have had so many years of great companionship that is too soon coming to a close. I'm 75 now and probably will not ever have another dog. It's a "Golden thing" that I'm sure you all are well aware.
Wow Mike, this was very interesting I like the both of y’all and plus that Wild Animal (Piper)👍🏾You are very cool, Melissa is extremely beautiful, Thanks for the info on the camera I like it👍🏾 and y’all be very careful and safe out there.
What about some updates on this camera, still using it, still working, problems you have had with it? If your not still using it what cause you stop stop?
maybe alright for a heavily forested area, will look into it though ongoing sim plan cost is annoying. If it was for buildings and fairly open acreage spaces id just trench in some conduit and run POE wired PTZ hikvision setup. 4K 60 frames with a few WD purples. 4x optical zoom on the cheaper models up to 30 or more on the high end.
Like the camera. Squirrels will love the exposed wires. Use some kind of repellent or conduit on your permanent mount to protect the wires from the solar panel. Can't do hay yet for the rain rain rain!!
That is a nice camera. Has many advantages over Game cameras. But, None of those game cameras can compare to the Covert Code Black or Blackhawk Cameras. They are cell cameras that will do real time photos or the first frame of a video to your phone. This is where this camera here comes in. It gives you real time video at that moment and time just like my home security cameras do. Combine this camera with a Covert cell camera and you have a very powerful tool for trespassers as well as wild game. Been looking for such a camera where I can set it up to watch my boat at the dock while hunting pigs up at the camp house area. Its a long walk and no telling who might be at your dock. The Covert will do it but its just a simple picture and not real time video, plus I need it at my bait station and my Moultrie cell camera is too slow to respond to use for real time security.
Good job you two! i'll tell you a little trick....The cord from solar panel to camera, you need to move the solar panel up higher so there is a curve at the bottom of the cable..... So water will drip off at the curve now down inside the solar panel....
Great demonstration of this camera. Your wife has the most beautiful smile. Thank you.
Nice video, but I would make the following suggestions: Cover the front lens and the mic hole with masking tape and spray paint the camera either black or dark green, or whatever matches its background. And second, the camera should probably be mounted with a ladder, out of arm's length to any passer-by. Cheers!

Awsome camera. Would be better in camo instead of white
SFC Retired Paint it!
I agree with SFC. Trespasser may even steal it. Consider mounting just out of reach. May give you a better field of view as well.
On their website it shows a camo cover, but the base is still white. I think I'd hit it the base with a can of spray paint. I agree, in the woods someone would steal it.
That's what they make cam taps for.

Loxxx work
Went to the website and for $240 not a bad option. Just got to make sure that T-Mobile covers the area you are wanting to put the camera since they are the only carrier that this company has partnered with. Going to do more investigating to see if this is an option for me. Thanks guys!
SOLD! This will prove that i have Bigfoot living in the woods behind my house. Will be the last time they call me crazy. Thank you.
That’s why I love y’alls videos! Can’t wait to see how it works after a week or so.... THANKS MAN 👍👍!!
Enjoyed this video. We have 125 acres with 100 of that woods and a creek. You are correct that the main problems happen in hunting season. We spent a couple of years “confiscating” trail cameras and feeders. Now have the cameras hid and working. After trying to be nice.....we did turn one trespasser in to the sheriff based on trail cam pic. Word got around about that. Like the product you demoed. Would be better in camo than white.....
Very thoughtful that you: 1) made it very easy to locate by not concealing or camouflaging it, and 2) installed the camera low enough to minimize a potential injury to a tree-climbing thief.
Very attentive of you to completely miss the part where I said that was a temporary setup to test the camera.
I have a Reolink pan, tilt, zoom with Inferred on a solar panel for shop security. Love it.
I'll be interested to see a followup video regarding how this worked out for you. If it's favorable, I might purchase one or two setups of my own. The security of our property more than justifies the cost. I have a few people who are neighbors that are allowed on my property and have access from a different point other than our driveway. I have warned them to let us know when/if they are going to be there either by stopping by or just a simple phone call since we like to shoot on occasion. I don't want/need any accidents happening on our property.
Not sure if you'll see this as your video was 16 months ago but if one could get the cameras in other than white it would make a nice camera on a well site. I worked with one customer that used trail cameras and hide them on site roads and at tank batteries. Thanks for the review. Watch you and Josh as much as we can, two great channels.
Know you said this setup temporary , hope it works out, look forward to hearing how it goes
In your case you could build a custom fit birdhouse. Mount the solar panel on one side of the roof. Make the opening large enough to flush mount camera lens. And maybe one side hinged to open and allow access to the camera. May be a dumb idea, just a thought.
I have several Wi-Fi cameras within range around the property, and I simply name the camera the name of the place I put it of the area it's watching. Your's today would've been named "Apple Orchard." After you get several it helps keep up with which is which easily...😉... Good looking set up. Needs to be black in color or camouflaged.👍
Jon from Queensland Australia here, thanks so much for sparing us the obligatory and painful 20 minute unboxing process as so often happens when something is being unboxed for the first time.
Good video.
That looks like a great camera. Unfortunately, up here in Canada, it would cost a fortune for cell service, as we get hosed up here. I have 8 trail cameras on my property, and get tons of pictures of the local wildlife. I have had trespassers before, but since I put up the "No Trespassing" signs at the two main entrances, and started posting pictures of the people who I caught on the cams, they have slowed down a lot. Love the videos. Cheers...
After getting use to what your videos are all about I have to say I absolutely enjoy them and watch every day. We’re in Pennsylvania are you my mother was born in Johnstown in the conamar valley about two hrs from wheeling West Virginia. Also it’s nice to have a wife like you have who in my opinion is beautiful absolutely beautiful both inside and out. Absolutely love husband and wife team work that’s what marriage is all about two people united as one.
The camera gave me a lot of ideas for use although, it would have been better selling point if you drove back to the house and showed a little footage of animals eating the feed on the ground or actual trespassers.. Unless I missed it, you never traveled any distance from the camera so I feel a little apprehensive of spending the money for the camera set. But thanks for what you did show I really do appreciate it and gave a thumbs-up. You did very well on what you did give and your statement near the beginning, "if I don't like it you won't see this video." You strike me as an honest person so that in itself carries a lot of weight for me but not quite enough to tilt the scale to "yes, that is what I need!" Thanks, Mark
You're living the dream brother. You & your wife have a great disposition. God bless my friend.
We have one watching our Gate, which is over 2000' away and it works Great !
Thanks for your review. Last year someone stole my large solar panels that ran my well in my pasture! It was not visible from the road, so I figure it must have been someone that knew it was there. I never did find out who the thief was. Two thousand dollars later I had to buy new panels. I'm going to purchase this camera and hope I'll be able to catch a thief if it happens again.
Good Luck!
Melissa is as cute as a bed of speckled puppy's. Love her smile and dimples...Oh, by the way I like the camera to.
Cool use of the griper - real time trail cleaning. I have two, a heavy rock / root digger and a ligher double top grapple claws.
Hey Mike, Can you give a 5-6 month review on your Reolink Go? I would really be interested in performance, cost to operate and pro's and cons. Thanks guys!!
Thanks Mike, love that camera, can’t wait to see how you get on, I think Melissa liked doing that video!
Be careful, that camera will use cellular data so if you don't have a unlimited plan, it could get expensive fast! Might want to check to see what included in that new sim card plan. Love the channel!
Yes great investment! Have one on my property.. it’s amazing what go,s on when your not around. Thanks for the Video.
Make sure you disable the LED lights used for ‘night vision’. If it ia anything like Reolink's other cameras, the LED’s glow bright red to illuminate if the camera detects movement.
Dead give away ;o)
You can also set the sensitivity to avoid false alarms, varying it throughout the day if you wish, as well as setting an alarm which pops up on your phone when movement is detected. Loads of other features, although you will need to position the solar panel correctly to catch as much sunlight as possible otherwise there will be insufficient power generated to keep the battery charged.
Great video Guys.
I have a Reolink wired (network cable) to watch. The internet comes from the power line - connected to my 1Gig intranet router. Nice. The deer has the corn on the nose!
Cameras can be a great security tool when used properly. They don’t deter all criminals of course or we wouldn’t have bank robberies anymore. If the goal is to be alerted to a trespasser/criminal etc the live alerts/moninoting is key. To address the deterrence issue the offender needs to know as early on as possible that they have been detected. You could enhance your system by installing a couple of loud speaker sirens or some audible notification system with the speakers in different areas. Having two in the woods causes the sound to come from many different directions confusing the offender and less chance they can locate it to terminate it. These can be run off 12 volt solar charged batteries as well and you could use a device and app like wemo to turn it on and off with your smartphone. To use wemo specifically you would need 120 voltage to hardwire the system but if loud enough they don’t need to be locted far from your homes power source. Either way a multilayered system will provide the best results.
You guys are fun to watch! I wish I was your neighbor. I have a remote vehicle gate and have serverial issues. Thanks for the camera information i just bought one. You guys have a great day!
You guys have a wonderful place. There's no objection to providing protection against it being abused. Good luck 🐺
For the past year I've been researching cameras for the same purpose on my property & I am going to try this Reolink. Mike, you have helped Reolink sell another one. Ha! Ha! But, I do wish they were available in camo. I will paint mine camo before I install it in my woods. Enjoyed the video! Thanks, Mike & Melissa!
Hey Mike, those Rio Links look like a great investment. Would love to know how they have held up since installation.
What a pain to deal with trespassers,I do not mind the honestly lost or mistakes but the flagrant known trespassers just irk me off.Try getting a solar powered fence charger and hooking it to your cameras to prevent theft.It works wonders.
We use reolink for a shed at a cemetery that I am on the board of. Works great
Thinking of going south for the winter. Don't have internet or landline phone and I need something to watch the house. Ihis is almost perfect for what I need. Only thing would be to use multiple cameras on one cell circuit, one watching a thermometer and the fuel oil guage inside and one watching the driveway outside. Thanks!
Mike, firstly let me say your video is what prompted me to investigate, then purchase a Reolink Go camera!
I have had issues, pretty much from the jump with the cameras stutter stop intermittent operation.
Typically will not stream a video for any length of time.
I should add that I have tried any number of adjustments afforded me via the camera app.
As a result of this type of poor operations, I have had theft of construction materials, as well as trespassers in my yard. ( Fenced residential property ).
Was wondering if you have issues of staccato type operation, as well as noises on the audio, that appear to be internally generated ?
Thank You for any feedback !
You guys happiness is just awesome, and always a smile on your wife "the Ninja".
The only thing that would make it better would be a loud speaker where you could yell at the trespassers. How has this camera performed to date? Would you still recommend it, you should do a follow up video.
if each cameras has a sim card and each sim card requires a phone # and each phone # is added to your cell bill and if you have many cameras, then this will get too expensive. enjoy watching this channel. good work.
I live in Alabama. As nice as southerners are we charge people the first time they enter your property. We have a lot of hunters who come up from Florida who cut fences and wreck your property and hunting. We also use nail boards on trails because we live fifty miles from the farm. We've also had trouble with people dumping trash.
I'll have to tryout the cameras. Thanks for the video.
Skykiller hope you have a fence up around your whole property line?..... with keep out no trespassing signs every 20’.... hard to find “property line” anywhere in the world... I don’t hunt, just atv and dirt bike.... and if I roll onto your land sorry but the “property lines” aren’t defined without markings or fences. Trespassers arnt all bad people, your property may just be in between my adventures
Caribbean Dreamin trespassing is trespassing, ATV, dirt bike, jeep, hunting, camping or arrowhead hunting. You know when your not on property you own. In Alabama land doesn't have to be posted. The trespasser has to prove they had authority to be there, and it's only land owner that can give permission. I mentioned the nail boards in my first post. My brother found a car with four flats on the property and had the owner charged with dumping and abandoning a vehicle. The year before he found an ATV with three flats. He drug it to the front of the property and burned it. No one ever claimed it. People take their land seriously here so I would say make sure you have permission in writing before you enter land you don't own.
Awesome, mount it higher out of people's reach, high enough they can't reach the camera with a branch.... Just trying to be helpful.... Think I'm going to get some of these cameras. Thanks for sharing.....
i really like how your were talking about trespasser I have no problem with people walking around on my property but the problem I have is when they just want too destroy it i was living in town in my 20's i was know too throw a party or two but the neibhor was a 18 year old girl she threw a party which is fine but when her lil friends thought it was ok to sit on my truck and throw empty beer cans in the back so I was up at 5 that morning I knock on her door at 6 am and told her too get her lil friends to clean out my truck they were not happy with me but I was always taught to respect others people property
We have a Arlo camera on our property and we also enjoy watching wildlife, I wish it would record at a longer distance we had something come onto the lawn and spin around, it was to far away for the camera to record but we could see the tracks in the snow.
I'd suggest a leaf camo print. I always felt a bright white security cam was to visible.
That's great.
Now, you'll be able to see if anybody is using your *stairwell* out there in the apple orchard!!
Great video
Good for my camp
Nice job
I use the Ring Camera w/Spotlight at my cottage on the lake in PA. We are there on the weekends and it work great. I have one in the back facing down to the lake and one in the front pointing up the driveway. I get text notification as soon as it one is triggered and the video is recorded to the cloud. The video is 1080p but it you try to Zoom from the app it gets grainy. I might look into this camera for viewing my dock area better. We have WiFi but i the Ring requires power and we don’t have power at the dock. This camera might just do what I need. Thanks for sharing.
Nice, but, just like trail cams, some people would steal,; you would have their picture, they would have your camera. But, at least you could give law enforcement everything they would need. Awesome video M&M&P, 😃
I remember a neighbor having a conversation with a trespasser. The guy said "Well, it isn't posted!". To which my neighbor replied "Do you own it?". "No". "Then, son, why are you here?". Point made.
Here in Ga. You must have the permission in writing.
I've had people tell me, they've hunted my place for years, I tell them only because I haven't shot you yet..WHAT? My eye sight isn't what it once was, if I see movement, I ground check it. I don't really, I've got some nice optics and would never shoot at movement, but it sure makes their eyes get big! Haven't had a repeat poacher either...Bla Ha Ha Ha Ha. And Better not.
Like the idea of that camera M&M. As you said technology is snowballing the consumer at a unbelievable rate. As far as the deer, I am sure it is looking for that fresh corn.
Have a day.
So after almost 2 years with this camera, what do you think about it? Pros? Cons?
I love his wife's comments @ 19:55! This girl means business. Mike, you have chose well, a real good one she is! The camera is very KOOL!
This appears to be the same company from Canada that markets Spypoint Trail Cams, I have 4 of them and very impressed with the photo quality. Great item. Will look at it for security purposes. Thanks
Thanks for the video. I will say that there's nothing wrong with not wanting trespassers on your property. In fact, the very neighbors I find trespassing on my property have gone absolute nutso when they thought I might be trespassing on their land when I wasn't even close and had already had the boundary marked by a surveyor and had installed visible fence posts. I know a lot of people who say the same thing -- "I don't have a problem with people coming across my land," with the usual caveats. However, they will have a problem when one of them surprises them with a Quiet Title action to take title to that portion of property or to establish a prescriptive easement. This is what is happening in Northern Virginia. More and more entitled people are trying to take portions of their neighbor's property. Happened in our last two neighborhoods. We moved to the country to get away from all those nasty HOA subdivision dynamics. Now we have new neighbors from one of those subdivisions who are trying to take a portion of our property that is nearer to their house than it is to ours. They act like they are just waltzing through our stream and wooded area but behind our backs they are collecting info to file quiet title to take it by tacking. We have had to go in hard with a fence and signage and they still enter. I appreciate this video as I have been looking for a good off grid camera that doesnt need WiFi. Trailcams have been letting me down. Although I have found the mere presence of cameras even if not working has cut down on the adventurism on their part.
I don't know to much about electronic stuff but could that company somehow someway look at you through your phone and your devices in your home since you're connected now just curious
Pretty cool little camera , altho I think cell companies should give these things away because they are the gift that keeps on giving . There are better more modular ways of doing this that do not have that reoccurring cost and provide better image quality and fluidity .Solar is so cheap now that you can pepper your property with stations that blend in and are hooked right into your house NVR so you can view anyplace real time .
Respond if this interests you , Im not a salesman , just what I used to do in another life and what I use on my place.
If you mount the camera and panels to a pice of wood plank then you could move it around purity easy
Great Video Mike. Hope it works out. I saw TWO deer, The best one was dressed as a Ninja !
signs reading Trespassers shot on site, or, If found here at night you will be found here in the morning, are very effective. Think the biggest issue with anything of this nature is atmosphere, putting a sense of real fear in ones mind is the first step. If a pastor of a local church comes out telling violators to PLEASE leave, vs MR.T coming through, you can feel a huge difference!!
Nice unit, love the quick setup. The fact that it using your mobile cell account I understand the cost is about $10 per month but data extra? Thanks for your demo great job 👍🏼
Hollow out a dead branch wide enough for the camera to fit into or at least paint the camera with the same color scheme as the tree.
I live in the Texas Panhandle. We can see for miles so it is hard for anyone to be on your land and not see them. Drove to Memphis, Tennessee one time. While driving in Arkansas I noticed a clearing in the trees ahead and nearly drove off I-40 trying to see what these people thought was important enough to cut down trees for. Memphis has so many trees it is hard to see the sites. Biggest streach of treeless street I saw was a strip mall.
I have reolink Argus 2 wifi cameras up around the house perimeter and they are fantastic. I will look into these 4G connected cameras for the places farther from the house. Looking forward to updates as they get used.
Great idea, we need to look further into this. I'm surprised the camera is white and not black the the solar panel. Camouflage would have been better!
For our farm, we use seven strand high tensile electrified ⚡️ fences (9.6 thousand volts) that keeps most everything out, and cows in. 🤠👍
I'm a lifelong hunter and have never gone hunting on a piece of land without first asking the owner's permission, then again I live where you get shot for trespassing.
then it doesn't pertain to you, right?
super6 baker - i lived on a farm along a river in the Ozarks as a kid. Dad NEVER refused anyone, who was Poe_LITE enough to stop at the house and ASK permission 👍🏼 - to hunt whitetails 🦌. Those w/o some sense of propriety - were promptly run off, as owners witnessed them climbing fences, opening gates & such.
Personally delivered ‘Removal Requests’ were made: accompanied by 12ga Winchester & S&W .357 mag... not surprisingly ALL complied when faced by armed & pissed off Farmer & Kid. “An ARMED 🔫 Society is a Polite Society” 😃
@@dennismurray8631 Same here Dennis, we owned 3640 acres in eastern Oregon with the most fantastic deer hunting and trout stream. We let anyone that asked fish our stream and hunt on our property.
The two best comments on this video!,! “You could get a job”. And “ photohut driveup”. Both of those put a smile on my face.. 👍
Hopefully the camera proves out for you!! !!👍👊
Thanks Bruce Willis!
Great camera definitely wish it was a different color, but thinking it should go higher so no one can take it down and walk away with it.
Hello Morgans!! We watched this video a while back, but our situation doesn’t allow us to use this type. However, circumstances have changed and we’re looking at this camera once again. You’ve had it a year and wondering what your pros and cons are?? Thanks
I think I might like this camera. Can’t wait to learn more about your experience.
Hi Mike & Molissa,nice idea with camera, what a great place you've made, Molissa is the best looking trespasser I've ever seen. Great videos, keep them coming. Stay safe& hi to family.
Nice but with that much land you need more cameras and como / paint / green and brown and you should be able to put all of your cameras on the same sima number one in each camera .. nice job
WELL DONE.
Two 40 watt amplifiers (not as good as 250 watt but good enough) set up in the garage to play loop Rocky Burnet's "Toein the Line" with the flick of a switch. When hunters appear on camera (even 20 acres away) they don't stick around loo long. So yes, the camera notifies us and we turn on the tunes for everyone to hear. PS common sense says hide the final mounting place of the camera so it's not obvious.
Cool technology. I want one at the ranch so I can keep track on deers or wildlife wtc
Thanks for the video. Here at Sequoia Park the Canyon we’re in is so deep, cell signals are hard to find. Great idea though.
I have a "Golden" named Nugget. Nugget just turned 12 and has slowed noticeably. We have had so many years of great companionship that is too soon coming to a close. I'm 75 now and probably will not ever have another dog. It's a "Golden thing" that I'm sure you all are well aware.
Bless you and your dog Eddy.
I have one that’s 10 and savor the time I have left with her.
Thank U so much.
Wow Mike, this was very interesting I like the both of y’all and plus that Wild Animal (Piper)👍🏾You are very cool, Melissa is extremely beautiful, Thanks for the info on the camera I like it👍🏾 and y’all be very careful and safe out there.
What about some updates on this camera, still using it, still working, problems you have had with it? If your not still using it what cause you stop stop?
Good set up, bonus to see the deer while filming, your old lady is a hoot, covert ops
Melissa, you are so cool! I love your sense of humor.
Narcissistic comment
maybe alright for a heavily forested area, will look into it though ongoing sim plan cost is annoying. If it was for buildings and fairly open acreage spaces id just trench in some conduit and run POE wired PTZ hikvision setup. 4K 60 frames with a few WD purples. 4x optical zoom on the cheaper models up to 30 or more on the high end.
Like the camera. Squirrels will love the exposed wires. Use some kind of repellent or conduit on your permanent mount to protect the wires from the solar panel. Can't do hay yet for the rain rain rain!!
That is a nice camera. Has many advantages over Game cameras. But, None of those game cameras can compare to the Covert Code Black or Blackhawk Cameras. They are cell cameras that will do real time photos or the first frame of a video to your phone. This is where this camera here comes in. It gives you real time video at that moment and time just like my home security cameras do. Combine this camera with a Covert cell camera and you have a very powerful tool for trespassers as well as wild game. Been looking for such a camera where I can set it up to watch my boat at the dock while hunting pigs up at the camp house area. Its a long walk and no telling who might be at your dock. The Covert will do it but its just a simple picture and not real time video, plus I need it at my bait station and my Moultrie cell camera is too slow to respond to use for real time security.
