- A review of the Lidl wildlife surveillance camera. The camera can be set to 3mp, 5mp, 8mp, 12mp, or 16mp for photographs. The higher the megapixel setting shows greater detail but uses more memory. Video resolution can be set to 1920 x1080, 1280 x 720, 640 x 480 or 320 x 240. Again the higher the resolution shows more detail but uses more memory.
Just bought one this evening
Thanks for the video
Great video and very helpful. Just purchased one from Lidl
Thanks Trevor. I hope you have a lot of fun with it.
Well, thank you. I just bought it at Lidlb for $49 dollars in Charlotte NC. At night we have deer in our back yard, plus the rumors of occasional trespassers looking in unlocked cars. I hope I catch something interesting. You were very objective. Thanks again.
You are welcome indeed Johann. Good hunting.
Vinnie, I like this camera. The clarity is outstanding. Thanks for the video, very informative. I see little Dyson is having a good time. Take care!
Thanks Tim 👍
Hi Vinnie,
Well you've done it again; you're costing me money again. I've been looking at these for a while now wondering if they're any good.
Thanks for the upload.
Very informative.
Thanks
Alain
Sorry Alain 😀 I was looking myself for a long time. I'm glad I got it. It is almost like Christmas looking to see what animal is on the camera and to see what they are doing. I found out that badgers gather very large amounts of bedding and haul it backwards to their burrows
Another nice video vinnie .I haven't seen these for sale yet in our local lidl but when they have them in I will be beating there door down. Look after yourself speak to you soon Chris
I'm delighted with it Chris. It's a whole new interest. Good to hear from you too!
Howaye sir,
As a keen photography enthusiast of almost 40 years...I can tell you that something as good as this unit you reviewed is an absolute bargain.
the zero natural light footage is more than acceptable in my view and as far as the infra red light being visible to the naked eye that did not seem to bother most of the subject animal's appart from the fox.
There is a new version with wi-fi connectivity going on sale from Thursday 16 September.
Keep up the good work and Stay safe.
Thanks for the input Roy. Always good to hear from someone who knows what they are talking about. Now it looks like I'll have to spend more money ☹
@@vinniesdayoff3968 ...My pleasure Vinny.
I've been holding off investing in a wild life camera but a deal like this is too good to pass.
I will be at the door for opening time on Thursday. ;p
Great footage!
Isn't it amazing what a few hand fulls of dry roasted peanuts, a few spoons of canned dog food, and some chopped grapes( pine martens love fruit but I reckon the badgers polished it off before he got there) will do for you :-)
@@vinniesdayoff3968 i was gonna ask if those were badgers!!! Lol
Nice one Vinnie! Vinnie goes black ops naturalist - first rate! Very special the variety of wildlife you have about. Nice to know who your neighbours are.
You don't see them too often in daytime. It's nice to see what goes on at night
Enjoyed the footage Vin. I now live in the mountains of Pennsylvania. I can only imagine what goes through the back of my house at night.
Best Ed
Bears, mountain lions,elk....and maybe moonshiners? 😀
I am off looking for one of those. I have found a hidden field near me left totally wild so great for foraging and watching game. Thanks for posting and great timing
Thanks Gary. I hope they are still in stock. You never know what you may see
Another great video Vinnie, I borrowed my neighbours one a while back, same model form lidl and had hours of fun. I thought it was a good simple camera to use.
Ta Brendan. It is exciting checking the camera to see what's on it. A new interest for me for sure.
@@vinniesdayoff3968 Your lucky that you are situated where there is an abundance of wildlife, for your camera tapes to catch
Yeah, a bit of a disappointment with the giveaway leds but still great value for that money. There's a new version in lidl on Monday 29th April for 99.99 euros, it looks only slightly different so I'll be grabbing one because last year they flew off the shelves so they are obviously very popular and they look very well put together. Roll on Monday
The hinges on mine eventually broke just to let you know how they fared
Very nice review. Been wondering what these were like.
As I said I don't have much experience with trail cams but it does everything I need. Thanks for watching Brendan 👍
Very impressive Vinnie. You've plenty of wildlife around you there.
It maybe isn't the most superb camera Eddie, I've seen fantastic image quality on trail cam videos but I am happy with it. Far less pricey than the fancy ones too. How do you think it compares with yours?
@@vinniesdayoff3968 Well I honestly havent used my one enough to compare, but the one that got waterlogged was a pain in the arse. It took good video's and pictures, and fast trigger and hadn't much trouble with wind/grass etc setting it off, but between having to constantly change batteries and not working half the time, I'm glad it drowned lol.
@@minktrappingpaddy nuff said 😀
That was a VERY good review mate .... Thanks DS
Thanks David. As I said it's my first trail cam so I can't really compare it to others but I am very satisfied with it. Thanks for watching.
Looked like a good one. Good share my friend
Thanks Mickey. Not too bad for that kind of money
Aw wow very cool! I didn’t realize you had such diverse wildlife. In my area, in the south east US, we’re very lucky to see the odd red fox or mountain lion as it’s mostly whitetail and black bears. What kind of hunting and or trapping background do you have?
Grew up hunting small game with my dad. Pheasant duck and rabbits mostly. We trapped for pest control. Rats and mink using cage traps and fenn traps. We snared foxes. We only have ref foxes here. In the seventies there was market for fox fur but since then it is for predator control to help some dwindling bird species and to protect our poultry. I got a Deer Licence about seven years ago. Up to then it was very difficult to get a centrefire rifle in Ireland.
Mountain lion and black bears are ultracool!
I’d be keen to try small game hunting. I honestly don’t have the stomach for breaking down large animals, bit of a puss.
I’ve actually seen two mountain lions in the forest near my house. A childhood friend and I walked up on them on accident on a trail we built. I hear horror stories of how dangerous they are but as soon as we saw them they disappeared. “Ghosts of the forest” definitely fits the bill. I’m in no hurry to see another one lol.
There’s rumored to be black panthers living in the area as well. I think it might be a bit of an urban legend but I’ve heard cries at night in the country that were very convincing. Chilling.
I think mountain lions are the most beautiful of the big cats
Vinnie great show nicely documented, Was going to get one of those for CCTV but as you say the infrared can be seen now i know it will be no good for spy CCTV thank for showing me that now i will not be buying one i will buy a small bullet cam instead. so thank you Vinnie you saved me some money
There are other brands of trail cameras with infra red LEDs that are not visible Macartan, just happens this model has visible LEDs
@@vinniesdayoff3968 Thank you Vinnie i will look for them it is just that i have a house in the country that i keep my machinery and a couple of chain saws it is locked but some one broke the lock ans made off with my chain saws there is no electric so though there was no way of catching the crooks if they came back i put a bed in the shed but in the winter it is not very warm lol Thanks Vinnie will look for them
@@macartancaughey9993 There is nothing worse! It is incredibly easy to break a padlock. I used to work in a place where they lost the keys to the locks from time to time. One smack from a hammer and chisel and your lock will be in many pieces. They really are only good against honest people :-) Have you tried bear traps?
Very interesting video thanks Vinny, I have never seen those in the Lidl here, will have to have a look on line.
About 500 metres East of my place is a 2.500 year old castle ruin, it has a lot of Holm Oak where wild pigs go to eat the acorns, I would love to try to film them with something like this camera. Nobody ever sees the pigs just their tracks and where they dig so it would be very interesting.
For some reason I am not getting any notifications from You Tube although all my subs have the bell active so I'm late to the party.
Hi Chris. You would have quite the wildlife movie. I would love to have wild boar about the place. I am having a good time with this camera, it's a whole new interest or pass time and I am learning a lot. I don't know about TH-cam. I think it might be a sinking ship. The world, and TH-cam is getting more and more stupid.
Hi Vinnie I don't know if these are anything like the Jabali in Southern Spain which can be quite aggressive, from the tracks I would guess they are smaller and have heard nothing about them attacking anyone. That's what would make a camera so useful.
I agree about the world and You Tube, better not to watch the news or read the papers, it never gets any better.
@@chrisosh9574 I remember buying a knife in Torremolinos years ago and the shop owner had a hunting mag. he saw me looking at it and started showing me his hunting photos. He had a few with boar which he had shot in Spain. I should have asked him whereabouts in Spain.
Hi Vinnie I know you can hunt down around Algerciras near Gib',
A mate promised me a couple of days hunting Jabali(wild boar) on horseback just a short way inland. It never happened but would have been very interesting for me as I have ridden for decades but never hunted from horse back ( unless you can count roping cows).
I know it's a bit modern but OMG!! I have always fantasized about pig sticking on horseback. The fact that I can't ride a horse never stopped me fantasizing.
Hello Vinnie, I'll look forward to seeing any footage you may get.
Never spotted this comment till now my friend.Thank you.
@@vinniesdayoff3968 I'll catch you in your next video.
Loved mine, but now I have issues, I cannot see in the dark with the camera, settings haven't changed, and in low light the camera goes change grey scale, but in the darkness of night, absolutly nothing can be seen, just total darkness.
Sounds like the infra red is kaput. Can you return it?
How long did you find the batteries lasted? Is the battery cover well sealed from the elements? Overall is it of a quality that will withstand the British weather. Often you get what you pay for but it looks decent for the price. A few weeks ago I woke up 4 am for the loo. As always on returning to bed I peak out of the window to check car etc. By absolute luck there were 6 adult deer leading the way with 4 young ones in tow. It blew my mind that they would venture into a semi urban st on an estate with the woods a good half mile off. I was also unaware that they roamed in groups as I always saw them as lone creatures unless with young. A once in a lifetime spot but would love to catch them on camera
The camera is hinged in the middle and opens in two halves if that makes sense. I found it to be well sealed. It was out in plenty of rain without any problem. The battery compartment can only be accessed from the inside when you open the unit. The only problem I found was when dew settled on the lens at dawn. Then you got a blurry image but I could still make out what I was looking at. The condensation evaporated as the sun came up. I can't say how long the batteries would last. It depends on how many images or videos were captured. I set it to take video and I set the interval to be short as I wanted plenty to look at. It will use batteries in that situation but I enjoyed the videos and did not begrudge the batteries. I found I had to edit the video clips one at a time to save them. I couldn't put them all together at once. Perhaps that was just my laptop? As you say you get what you pay for. If you want really good video quality you will have to go more upmarket. I have seen fantastic video quality on some reviews of other cameras, but if you just want to see whats going on in your area these will do that for you. All I can say is that I have no regrets. It is lovely to look at these animals going about their business. I hope that is a help to you. All the best. Vinnie
@@vinniesdayoff3968 thank you Vinnie for the reply. I will be investing in 1 today. My local lidl is selling them at £49.99. Even the best camera on the market will attract morning dew.
@@billycarter747 To get the footage of the badgers etc I threw a few handfuls of dry roasted peanuts ,a few dog nuts, a few spoons of canned dog food and some chopped strawberries (pine martens eat a lot of fruit although I reckon the badgers scoffed it all) in front of the camera. It will up your chances a bit :-)
I'm having trouble with a horrible neighbour who is constantly climbing over my fence. I have complained to the council and they are close to evicting. Despite this the neighbours behaviour has continued. I'm going to use this for security? I'm going to set this up pointed towards my fence in the hope that my neighbour climbing over will active it? Do you think that would work? There's no noise is there?
Hi Stephen. there is no noise but the infra red LED's look like two small glowing red lights and might be spotted by your intruder especially if he sees them coming on or activating as he approaches the camera. There is no point covering them as they provide the illumination that allows the camera to "see" in the dark. If you have not already bought the Lidl camera there are other trail cameras on the market that have invisible infra red LED's and they might be a better option. If you already own the camera I suppose it would be worth a try and hopefully your neighbour won't spot it and take it with him. I feel sorry for you as there is nothing worse than a bad neighbour.
I want that now too👍. What sensitivity level seems to work best Vinnie. Great video as always I love when I see a new one uploaded
Thanks Archer 👍The instructions say medium is the best setting and that is what I used. You could set it to high inside a building, and perhaps I should have tried the low setting on some windy days. You need to be careful that there are no branches, ferns or clumps of grass etc that can move in the wind. I should have bought one of these years ago. It really is fascinating what you see.
Another beautiful video
Thank you for this share 👍🏻👌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice explanatery (?) Video.
I would like one of these.
I've been threatening to get a trail camera for a long time Tim. It is very interesting and I've learned a lot from it so far
@@vinniesdayoff3968
Now I just need to be in said shop at right time.
And with my she boss in a good mood :)
I always keep my she boss happy by being a good and obedient little fellow 😀 She thinks I'm great. I tried to get one the last time they came around and they only had a ridiculously small number and they were gone in no time. They had more this time but I would say get in early if you would like one
Me gustaria q tuviera explicacion en español y como se adquiere para colombia , preció ...
Love your videos, Vinnie. Please keep them coming.
Have you thought about bushcrafting a coracle for a video? The method where the ribs are driven into the ground, the boat completed upside down, then ribs pulled out of the ground or cut away always fascinated me. I've always wondered whether live saplings were used for ribs then cut away after the coracle was completed.
Your dog needs more screen time.
I have thought about it a lot and discussed not a coracle but a curragh extensively with my friend from Uraguay wavepropulsion1. Some problems with building a coracle would be getting my hands on a bull hide (if going traditional) and from what I see paddling the thing after it was built 🙂 I reckon live saplings would be the way to go. Hazel gets a good deal stiffer and less pliable as it dries. Now you have me stroking my chin again.....
Hi I purchased one in a sin bin for around £20 but didn’t come with the manual It has a off /test/ on switch it functions in the test mode but I can’t seem to get any function while in on mode. Any ideas do I have to press anything other than the on switch. Thanks in advance
Is there a micro sd card inserted?
vinniesdayoff yes I can take pics and videos while in test mode but when I put it into the on position I get a 15 sec countdown then nothing happens
This is from the manual. to set up move the selector switch to test. press the bottom triangular button (it points at a picture camera) to switch from video to photo mode. press the upward triangular switch ( it points at a movie camera) to switch to movie. press the shot button to take a photo/video manually. press shot to stop recording. press menu to open the settings menu. press up down buttons to select the desired menu entry. you need to press ok to confirm or it won't save your option. is that any help?
vinniesdayoff il have a play about with it and will let you know cheers
@@nps2512 rodger that.
I gave a friend of mine a loan of this one and he lost the manual and I only had it a few weeks and can't find out how it works now.
Hi Spanner. I only saw this now. I don't represent lidl and I don't claim to be an expert but I will help you if I can. What do you need to know
@@vinniesdayoff3968 Thanks for the reply, I would like to know how to set it for pics and videos. I don't want to make a mess of something I know nothing about. Thanks again.
@@spanneraustin1343 I found this link to Bresser trailcam instructions online. Have a look and see if it applies to your trailcam. If it does not drop me a line. archive.bresser.de/download/3310000/ANL3310000GB0711BRESSER.pdf
@@vinniesdayoff3968 Thank you, I will have a look over the weekend. Thanks for your help.

Hi Vinnie, I don't want to put any pressure on you but we miss your content. Everything ok ?
Kind regards

All is well Alain. My wife and I were on holiday and I have been pretty busy with work since I came back. The weather has been wet and cold too. I shall mobilize Dyson and put a video together. Have you been holidaying?
@@vinniesdayoff3968 hi Vinnie,
No time for holidays. The house is finalky rebuilt and all my holidays were spent on the house and on paperwork. I shall go cycling and camping with my boys on weekends though.
Alain
Nice
I answered this from my phone a while back but my coverage must not have been good. my apologies. Thank you for watching 👍
Hi, has this cam been on sale in LIDL recently?
They were on sale here in Ireland on 25th of April. They seem to have them on offer every six months or so. You need to keep an eye on Lidl's upcoming offers and be in early if you want one.
Yes, I bought one from Lidl a few years back to use on my allotment and have captured lots of shots of wildlife. I have been really pleased with it. The one thing it didn’t have was the temperature on the display.
I will have to see if they have any of these newer ones left, thanks for the review 👍
@@Jetjai you are welcome indeed, thanks for watching
I Lidl in Weymouth they are on sale now (from the 3rd November) at £49.99
5:36 I've got a South African friend I can ask for his amazing biltong recipe.
I've been tempted to have a go at making that for a long time!
I've just started putting a smoker together as it happens.
@@turboconqueringmegaeagle9006 something else I have been threatening to do
Ik heb de Wildcamera ook
Vind je het goed
I think that Dyson knows that he is on camera!
Edit:- I dislike motion sensors for the reasons that you state. I have motion sensitive security lights at my home...always coming on due to leaves blowing in the wind, etc. Much better would be heat sensors...infra-red. But not if they look like two eyes!!
Badgers !!! We don need no stinkin' Badgers!!
Hmmm, that damn Jack Russell stealing the show again! Damn him and his good looks :-) You get infra red LEDs that are not visible but I am led to believe the visible type have more range. So I'm told anyway Richard. That's a movie I didn't know about that I have to watch now.
@@vinniesdayoff3968 :- Just for those wondering which movie:- " Treasure of the Sierra Madre".
I googled it and Weird Al Yankovic's movie "UHF" came up with the "no stinkin' badgers" line. Obviously they swiped the lines
@@vinniesdayoff3968 :- Yup, & I didn't know that fact. But I think you could Google, "Badges, we don't need no stinking badges"
@@blueeyeswhitedragon9839 I saw that clip too
20 degrees watching the bird feeder send us down some of that heat tis a grand camera I wouldn't complain anyway bit pricey for lidl I'd say about 50 I'd have it but I'd never use it unfortunately unless I'm stalking the neighbours.
It's a bit cooler since! I think it was around 8 degrees on it one of the mornings. Sure it would have many uses 😀
@@vinniesdayoff3968 so that's not off by a degree or two it was 20 degrees by god might be a good summer
@@irishwanderer4206 Hopefully. It's pretty cold and wet at the moment
@@vinniesdayoff3968 it was very bad yesterday nice and sunny today.
Hi Vinnie - great video - very thoughtfully put together - are you still keen on the camera ? I found your post as Lidl is selling them this month (or at least in South England) at £79.99 - I wonder if it's the same model ? Here's the link Vinnie in case you're interested - Alan
www.lidl.co.uk/en/p/garden-event/wildlife-surveillance-camera/p31834
Hi Alan. It certainly looks like the same model. I still like the camera and I find it useful to see what's going on and exactly what animal is diong what. As I said in the video this is my first trail cam so I have nothing to compare it to but I enjoy it very much and the images are good enough for me.
Thank you Vinnie for exciting me with nature's possibilities - I think I will look for a camera like yours but where the infrared is invisible if it's not too expensive. I meant to add that I'd like it to occasionally double-up as a security device if possible - cheers
Hey Vinnie.
Give me an email if you don't mind.
I'm very sorry I missed this comment John. I just sent you an email
Take note, I'm not the best to check my emails :-(
