CamPark TC06 - Unboxing, Setup & Initial Impressions

Was asked what this camera was like so....
Just took delivery of a TC06 Campark TrailCam .. 60MP, dual lens 4k Trailcam so unboxed it, set it up and stacked it up against the T300 to see how it faired !
I buy my Campark solar cameras direct (+ 1 off Amazon a while back).. here's their link to their website if you want to take a look-see

Thank you for taking the time to review a selection of trail cams as this was useful in my choice of trail cam. I purchased two Campark TC06's based on this and similar reviews alongside several other brands and models of trail cam. I was quite impressed with the picture quality of daytime photos although one of my two cameras suffered from lens fogging which is a quality control issue. I suspect this would not be as evident on your tests in California as it was on mine in a damp Cornwall, UK. My biggest issue was something that is not mentioned in any of the reviews of the TC06, or in any of the literature supplied by Campark, and that is that this camera lights up on night detection. No one seems to consider how their trail cams appear on activation. There are two VERY bright red, visible, LEDs, positioned horizontally which illuminate on activation. Some cameras have 'black' LEDs, some are low glow but these are very bright in the very visible spectrum. This may or may not scare the wildlife but it certainly alerts them (and humans) to the presence of the camera. This is certainly something to consider when making a purchase depending on your intended use. I returned mine against a Browning Recon Force Edge BTC74K which is definitely a higher quality camera and covert. Just my opinion.

Really interesting the comparison videos. Some say the TC06 has great audio and some say it doesn't! Could I ask which trail cameras you've tested has the best audio?

[@VariableSin]

Does this make a noise during that initial startup screen right after you switch it on or is it completely silent? Some Campark cameras have a sound that goes along with the startup which doesn't make them ideal for hunting when you need to be quiet.

[@trailcam]

Yup but you can take the sound off .. when I switch the cameras on they are silent

[@VariableSin]

@@trailcam How do you turn the sound off?

[@trailcam]

@@VariableSin settings deep sound .. unless your talking about the shutdown jungle in which case your SOL I’m afraid .. sorry..

I bought the tc07 sent it back as it was defective. Exchanged it for the tc06 pir setting on high and it doesn't trigger (take pics or video) when deer or birds directly in front of camera

[@trailcam]

I had that issue with the TC09.. both my p7 and p6 trigger fine … what have you set the interval to ?

testing cams side by side, or on top of each other, will give inaccurate night imagery. one's flash illumination will affect the other cams.

[@trailcam]

I'm with you on this but at the same time if they are both getting the same amount of illumination then then if one is a better image it would still show up all be it not as well... I've run the TC06 for another week and still dont see its any better than the T100 and certainly the color is not as good as the TC07 !

[@zzz7zzz9]

@@trailcam wow. So you think the t100 is better then?

[@zzz7zzz9]

@@trailcam but the t06 has to be better though, for night imagery, due to the sony sensor.

[@trailcam]

@@zzz7zzz9 check the samples... I want to love it.. the TC07 shows much better.. the TC06 just in practice does not shine as much as I expected.. I honestly cant see the difference in the 2 when it comes to video and still its a softer picture but nothing like I was expecting out of a 60Mp still image... Anyhow... I have just posted another sample set with he 100,150,180, 300, TC06 and TC07 so take a look and see for yourself... Its a great camera, I just dont see the leap except for the wide angle for my needs AND the side angle triggers which is why it and the 100 both beat out the 300 on triggering !

[@zzz7zzz9]

@@trailcam the MP ratings are all bogus, on all cams. No cam is 60mp, hell, no cam is even 30mp.
I've seen night vids of the t100, and the illumination isn't great. I run gardepro cams, with the sony starlight sensor. Nothing can touch the sony sensor, for night scenes. That's why i'm assuming the t06 should be on par.
