First things first…..you are a trail cam/security cam expert. The hours you’ve put into learning all the ins and outs about them along with your woodsman-ship ability to read the woods and place them properly for quality footage defines “EXPERT”. I enjoy your reviews.
Mr..Trail Camera Great video Dave.U r 💯 right on the MP..Never new u had A Browning trail camera.What kind is it?U always make Sunday better with your videos 👍
Hi, I love your videos. I am new to trail cameras, and I am having a hard time finding the right one for what I need. Do you know which cellular trail camera I could have send a picture to my phone every 30 minutes without motion? Even better if I could only have it do this during certain times of the day. Thank you!
Really helpful video. I've been looking for a trail camera for quite a while and have been lost in all the claimed facts and figures vs review comments. In your opinion what would be the best trail camera for a beginner to purchase (for less than $100)? Thanks for sharing your awesome video 🙂👍
Thanks for watching! I still really like the WingHome 630M th-cam.com/video/W8zFaq2UPA8/w-d-xo.html and the Gardepro E5 th-cam.com/video/k-joTPqzEZE/w-d-xo.html as budget friendly cameras that deliver good quality
Thanks for watching! There is no perfect camera (at least I haven’t found it yet) 😜 It will greatly depend on what your looking for. I like clear videos, good audio, and good IR at night. WingHome 630M has been a longtime favorite, Gardepro E5 has been a great camera along with the Bog Clandestine. Recently I’ve been quite impressed with the newest Campark cameras (T-180, T-300, TC06, TC07) etc.

Hi. I really liked your video. I am a rodent exterminator of rats and mouse. I am looking for a caméra, that performs very well on the dark, I want to put it in my clients home and see how the rodent reacts to my trappes. So it should be small camera, that Connect to my clients wifi, that I can have access to the videos from my home in order to prepare a solution in advance before returning to my client house again. In your experience, do you have any particular suggestion of which camera would make a good job? Thank you.
Thanks for watching. You’ll need a WiFi security camera. Unfortunately there are no WiFi trail cameras that will be able to do what you need it to do (they won’t connect to your clients WiFi).

I’m not a photographer but my sister is. From listening to her talking about photos I was under the impression the higher mega pixel will allow someone to zoom in more when editing. Is that correct? I realize if it’s already a bad picture from the sensor it isn’t going to get much better.
@@HeronPoint2021 no idea. I said I’m not a photographer. I’ve never used a trail camera either. I was asking a question more than stating a fact that I know is true.
i have an issue with your comparisons. To do a true comparison why didn't you set the cameras up side by side? Shoot the exact same footage at the same time of day and light conditions.
Good content and info as I have come to expect from you! I had to laugh though because even if you don't want to you do "sound like an expert". Because you are! One of the biggest things to me is the ability to adjust the sensor sensitivity.
It is really the bit-rate that videos are recorded at that determines the quality given similar MP sensors. Low bit rate means smaller file size and grainier video even with the best sensors. I use 4k a lot in close-up and with a bit rate in the 20 to 30 kbs Range it's fantastic, but some cameras record below 10 and it looks grainy. Cellular trail cams in particular record at low bit rates to keep file sizes low for transmitting via 4G. Just like when you make your videos for your You Tube channel - the higher the bit rate you save it at - the larger the file size and the better the quality.
Shopping for a camera and I was going crazy on Amazon. What seem like really good purchases often had terrible reviews when you went to the one star or two star details that people took the time to write. One person on Amazon suggested I come to this channel and see, what a professional review details. Probably the best advice I received. Can’t believe how much information you’re sharing that saves so much time in the long run by making the wrong purchase. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
Appreciate the work the HUNTING FARMER puts into his videos and especially the reviews of trail cameras. It’s nice to have a channel that you can trust the words said about a product. Here once again I’ve learned something I didn’t know about trail cameras. The HUNTING FARMER channel has been fun with the hunts and different things he try’s but also I’ve gotten great information on products for the outdoor sports myself and others enjoy and learn from. Thanks again 🎥💪🏽💯👍
Very good video Dave, and you're absolutely right about false advertising! Also, more goes into good picture quality than just megapixels like sensor quality, capture speed etc!! You certainly have tons of experience with these fun toys we love to deploy into the woods!!
Great info Dave, that Bog Camera really does take some good video and the winghome as well. Thanks for putting all this together expert Dave lol, (you are an expert in my book!) 👍
Appreciate this video, and the thought ideas when looking into trail cameras. You certainly showed some great points on advertising vs miss conception. My opinion to get the best out of any trail camera you hit on is how you set it up at a location. You should set them up differently on a trail versus a field for example. You are humble when you say your not an expert, I know your the first place I go to see if you have done a review on a particular camera. Have a BLESSED day and keep SHARING your PASSION
I'm here because of trigger speed lol. I picked up a relatively cheap trail cam, and for a test I jogged past it. The video taken had me just exiting the video. When I walked past it, I was in the video from beginning to end so that test was okay.
The picture quality is the least of my worries. There are a lit of extraneous features that are more important than the picture quality. I bought a bunch of Campmark trail cameras and they hardly ever worked, for example.
You explain all of this things but don't mention those aspects in your reviews. Also there is a aspect in trigger time and why it is worthless. The important time is the preparation time of the cam after the trigger. There is a good video of a german youtuber about that. WILDKAMERA D.
NEVER buy a trailcam which uses microSD cards. MicroSD proper name is Tf cards (tiny as FK) if you are in the woods, or the snow, or on a grassland & drop a Tf card kiss it goodbye. You will NEVER see that card again because it is so GD tiny. Buy a cam with a growd up full size SD card. THEN buy SD cards which are bright colors to find them easy. SD cards are 4X larger than Tf. !
Trail cams are constantly repackaged by name but the inside is the same. I can't even FIND Simmons any more, the best bang for the buck. My U-Way has software no longer serviced. I just junked a couple of brand but haven't tried any Browning as of yet. Quiet year anyway but I like to PROVE off leash dogs to their owner when I bring them a dead chicken.
That’s a loaded question! 😁 It really depends what you want from a trail camera. What I’m looking might not be what someone else wants. (I’m not a politician although my answer to that question always sounds like I am) 😂
Hi, would you tell me what you most favorite 940 narrow view camera is for surveillance ( model # and name or link please). . Would i have to change a chip often if there is wildlife daily? One that is small and lasts a long time is preferable. Thank you very much for your time.
This is a very good narrow field of view camera with 940 IR amzn.to/46TKlYm It will require an sd card and 6 batteries. I HIGHLY recommend Energizer lithium batteries (although more expensive they last considerably longer). If your patient this camera often goes on sale and you can sometimes save 30-40%
I have had zero luck with any cam that uses C-cell batteries, rechargeable or not. AA's on my decade old Simmons or U-way take shots to minus 40 below. F.
Until you place cameras side by side, taking photos or videos in the same conditions, your comparisons are worthless. An example is the comparison of the 16 megapixel, as being better. Again, the comparing videos were not shot in the same area; the 16 megapixel was placed without dense ground cover in front.
I’m looking for a buddy who has an outdoor property he’s trying to sell but the neighbor keeps stealing from him and taking his signs. Trying to get him the right trail cam to catch the intruder but also to be hidden from site so he doesn’t take it. His budget is infinite as he prefers to catch this a hole. Any suggestions?
Thanks for watching. I’d probably suggest a pan and tilt 4G camera mounted up high. Here is a comparison video I did th-cam.com/video/Woru6GQrmeg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MosomMvGUgzPmkFy
Good afternoon. Excellent review and great explanations. I was very interested in this Campark-TC06. Is she as good as Campark says? Will there be a review only of the TC06? Thanks for your videos, I watch them all the time. Regards, Erik from Brazil.
Thank you for the info. As a photographer I have an understanding of MP. I told my husband I am looking to eventually get the 61mp Sony. That has a price tag of $3500. So when game camera companies are telling their potential buyers they have 30+ mp images for $100 plus, is just wrong. My husband recently bought one that was 4K and claimed higher image quality and had less quality overall and dependability than our older and small MP's ones did.
The trailcam companies are simply lying to everyone with MP resolution. The "Campark TC07 60mp" actually has an image sensor that is 13mp. It is simply dishonesty and misrepresentation by the manufaturers for not listing the actual NATIVE resolution of the image sensor.
I'm looking for the best quality picture camera with a wide angle with cellular capabilities for a property 1200 miles away from home. Really looking to just keep an eye on the property and not really looking for animals. Sparing no expense what is the recommendation for the best available.
I love the 4G cameras that have the “live view” option. This will allow you to see what is happening at the property at anytime (not just when the camera detects motion). The Reolink TrackMix 4G can automatically track objects while it records them. It can also be moved (left/right, up/down) through the app while you’re 1200 miles away. This will allow you to scan your property at will. I really like this camera. amzn.to/48efQ0Q th-cam.com/video/OqE7cWOhlWY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CRwbJJoCS-lhUajC (See my review video for my recommended data SIM card to supply the cellular portion)
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial thank you for the super fast reply, I enjoyed watching a few of your videos and we'll go check out this camera now. Happy new year to you and your family. ❤️🤠
I bought a security camera that uses a battery. You take it down and recharge about every 3 weeks. I bought 2 and liked them. I have to buy a wifi to be able to use them, but after I installed them, I could access them without using my wifi. After using them for about 2 months, I bought 2 more. About that time, the cameras makers sent me the option for signing up for a premium service for 39 plus a year, or continue with free service. I always chose free service. My cameras stopped working. They did it. I returned the 2 new cameras that I had ordered. I am interested in buying a camera that I won't have to pay to use. I need it to actually work. I have 3 cameras that do not work. One is a Moultrie that I spent around $150. Moultrie is not good for helping customers.
Great video- thank you! I have some Moultrie Edge cell cameras. They are extremely slow to trigger video. The shortest option is 30 seconds! Terrible for surveillance and nearly useless for game.
I have Vision Pro trail camera, and I turn on to take picture, but it is empty after night in forest, there si no pictures or film, I tried to use it on my dog also, but there is nothing, empty. PLEASE HELP WITH INFO
You explanation of Megapixels (MP) as stated by trail cameras refers to PHOTOS, not videos. The videos produced by trail cameras are measured by it's Video Resolution, i.e (1920 × 1080) which is commonly known as HD or Full HD, When you compared two video's side by side you were comparing the Video Resolution of both cameras and not the Megapixels (MP). Also, when a trail camera specifies an angle like 90 degrees or 120 degrees, it is referring to the detection angle or field of view of the passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor, not the actual lens/camera viewing angle. The PIR sensor in trail cameras detects heat signatures from moving objects within that specified detection angle. This allows the camera to be triggered to capture photos/videos when something moves across that field of detection. The actual camera lens itself usually has a wider angle of view compared to the PIR sensor angle. The lens viewing angle determines how wide of an area the camera can capture in the frame. So in summary: The 90/120 degree spec refers to the PIR motion sensor detection angle The camera lens itself likely has a wider field of view angle to capture more of the scene once triggered by the PIR sensor The two angles serve different purposes - the PIR for motion detection and the lens for the actual photography coverage area. Manufacturers separate these specs.
In you image comparison about sensor size, I didn't hear you state WHICH image was from WHICH sensor. You simply stated the sizes being compared. And image quality is VERY dependent on lens quality as well. Put a poor lens on a large sensor and it will look lousy.
Your comparisons are a big issue. Especially the mega pucek comparison. The reason the lower megapixel one looks better is because of lighting, your lighting is inconsistent. It feels like you’re cherry picking. The reason the higher megapixel ones look worse is because the lighting in the videos make the camera set its ISO very high, causing a lot of noise.
Hey Hunting Farmer, need your knowledge to point me in the direction of a trail camera for really fast moving animals. Sometimes moving from left to right or right to left at up to about 25 mph. They are about 25 - 30 metres away and I need clear photos or videos. Need motion sensing and preferably wifi or card with batteries or anything you may suggest. As you have said, its confusing and misleading out there and I definely need a person like you for sure. Thankyou
I bought a NEXCAM Wildlife Camera 16MP 1080P Mini Trail Camera from off Amazon. It was the first trail camera I bought and it's just about useless, I tried for days to get it working with it showing pictures once and I couldn't connect it to the computer again. It wouldn't take pictures and drained the batteries in less than 1 hour of trying to use video mode. This has put me off trail camera completely, I'm not the most tech savi person but this was so hard to set up, I gave up in the end and sent it back to Amazon.
Very interesting, I guess much with trailcams is like cameras in general which comes down to lense quality, aperture size and processor ability.. NightTime of course going more difficult... As you mentioned, reviews as you said, is so very helpful. Awesome video and information. 👍
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen I'm a longtime supporter of Dave's, I'd love to put a couple of these up down by the creek to see what I can see (I'd love to get the foxes down near here on trailcam). 😁
@@ArielleViking Yeah, just discovering that he has some really good stuff on his channel. I'm getting one for here since I have kangaroos, foxes, emus etc in the bush behind me and I want to capture the kangaroos in my front yard too. Will be good to see what gets in my orchard and veggie patches over night too.
Thank you sir for making this very helpful video! I had a trail cam in my apartment about a decade ago just to have some fun to see if there might be some strange paranormal stuff going on and, of course, it was a camera with the inferred light. And so, the curious thing I saw were these white orbs floating and sometimes shooting around. It was pretty creepy but I also saw some videos that others had made and those also and the mysterious orbs in them. In one of my recordings there was like a big chunk of white stuff that feel down towards the floor. Anyway, I'm curious if you've ever set up a trail cam in your residence and had it happen to you as well? Also, do you have any idea what's going on with said phenomena? Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!
G'day! Thanks very much for making this video mate. In the market for one here in Australia and I appreciate the info to help me be more informed on my choices. All the best. Daz.
Thanks for the video. I have found a narrower FOV allows the image sensor to perform better. Trigger speeds are made up. I have a wired surveillance system that overlaps some of the trail cameras. The trigger starts the buffer, and LEDs at night. The advertised trigger speed relates to photos, video can be 10X longer (I.E. 0.3 to 3 seconds). That would be hard to know if you did not have a second full-time recording camera. Some of the higher mega pixel cameras have very low FPS
Thanks for watching. That’s a loaded question. There seems to be no perfect camera (there’s always a shortcoming in one way shape or form). The Campark TC07 is one of the best photo/video quality cameras I use but it has it’s shortcomings
Thanks a lot for your time! I have another question I am looking for a camera to make a channel in wild life what would you recommend for the best video quality and sounds? The bog clandestine seems to be good but I wanted to know your recommandations! Also if you have any recommandations on a trail cam to make live video I would like to know the best for this! And finally let me know if all of my idea with a trail cam is realistic or not really. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for watching. Most trail camera don’t do well for up close action. Must are made for a much wider field of view. With that said, they’ll work but you won’t get the highest quality up close pictures or videos

Great info ... hardware quality( board and chips ) makes a big difference too
Thanks
Thanks for watching Dan! You’re right! Sounds like you may have some experience in that 😜
NEVER buy a trailcam which uses microSD cards. MicroSD proper name is Tf cards
(tiny as FK) if you are in the woods, or the snow, or on a grassland & drop a Tf card
kiss it goodbye. You will NEVER see that card again because it is so GD tiny. Buy a
cam with a growd up full size SD card. THEN buy SD cards which are bright colors to
find them easy. SD cards are 4X larger than Tf.

I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts 👍
Thanks for the information. A lot of choices to make when choosing a trail camera,
Thanks for watching 👍
It’s not the pixels you are judging, it is the focus of the lens.
Very well put together Dave. Lots of good info packed in here
Thanks for watching CJ! Hope all is well! 👍
Trail cams are constantly repackaged by name but the inside is the same. I can't even FIND Simmons any more, the best bang for the buck. My U-Way has software no longer serviced. I just junked a couple of brand but haven't tried any Browning as of yet. Quiet year anyway but I like to PROVE off leash dogs to their owner when I bring them a dead chicken.
You’re 100% correct about rebranding cameras! I appreciate you watching and for your input 👍
ok so whats the best trail camera to buy??
That’s a loaded question! 😁 It really depends what you want from a trail camera. What I’m looking might not be what someone else wants. (I’m not a politician although my answer to that question always sounds like I am) 😂
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Everyone wants the one that took the video of the turkeys :-)
Great information, now recommend a good brand please
Hi, would you tell me what you most favorite 940 narrow view camera is for surveillance ( model # and name or link please). . Would i have to change a chip often if there is wildlife daily? One that is small and lasts a long time is preferable. Thank you very much for your time.
This is a very good narrow field of view camera with 940 IR amzn.to/46TKlYm
It will require an sd card and 6 batteries. I HIGHLY recommend Energizer lithium batteries (although more expensive they last considerably longer). If your patient this camera often goes on sale and you can sometimes save 30-40%
I have had zero luck with any cam that uses C-cell batteries, rechargeable or not. AA's on my decade old Simmons or U-way take shots to minus 40 below. F.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience
Until you place cameras side by side, taking photos or videos in the same conditions, your comparisons are worthless. An example is the comparison of the 16 megapixel, as being better. Again, the comparing videos were not shot in the same area; the 16 megapixel was placed without dense ground cover in front.
I appreciate you watching and for your input/suggestion 👍
I’m looking for a buddy who has an outdoor property he’s trying to sell but the neighbor keeps stealing from him and taking his signs. Trying to get him the right trail cam to catch the intruder but also to be hidden from site so he doesn’t take it. His budget is infinite as he prefers to catch this a hole. Any suggestions?
Thanks for watching. I’d probably suggest a pan and tilt 4G camera mounted up high. Here is a comparison video I did th-cam.com/video/Woru6GQrmeg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MosomMvGUgzPmkFy
In my 50 years of doing photography it’s the lens that gives you the image your screen on your is 7 megapixel if that
I appreciate your input 👍
So MP is for only pictures. Video resolution is for videos. 42 MP is for the pictures not video. You are comparing apples to oranges. 😂
You’re correct 👍
Good video friend
Thanks for watching 👍
What about Bushnell Core DS 4K ?
The TC06 you have there has a new version tc22. Its so good
@@greenlover4522 thanks for watching. Yes, the TC22 has been a great camera for me
th-cam.com/video/UPdOIAggMAU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uvHjH_IdRTJX7lkz
Good afternoon.
Excellent review and great explanations.
I was very interested in this Campark-TC06.
Is she as good as Campark says?
Will there be a review only of the TC06?
Thanks for your videos, I watch them all the time.
Regards,
Erik from Brazil.
Thanks for watching! Yes there will be a complete review of the TC06 in the near future 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial thanks.
Megapixel has no effect on video. MP effects still images. Videoed you need to compare video resolution.
I appreciate your information 👍
Did someone mention Trail Cameras?
Thank you for the info. As a photographer I have an understanding of MP. I told my husband I am looking to eventually get the 61mp Sony. That has a price tag of $3500. So when game camera companies are telling their potential buyers they have 30+ mp images for $100 plus, is just wrong. My husband recently bought one that was 4K and claimed higher image quality and had less quality overall and dependability than our older and small MP's ones did.
I appreciate you watching and for sharing your thoughts/experience. I really wish there was a standard they followed 🙁
The trailcam companies are simply lying to everyone with MP resolution. The "Campark TC07 60mp" actually has an image sensor that is 13mp. It is simply dishonesty and misrepresentation by the manufaturers for not listing the actual NATIVE resolution of the image sensor.
I'm looking for the best quality picture camera with a wide angle with cellular capabilities for a property 1200 miles away from home. Really looking to just keep an eye on the property and not really looking for animals. Sparing no expense what is the recommendation for the best available.
I love the 4G cameras that have the “live view” option. This will allow you to see what is happening at the property at anytime (not just when the camera detects motion). The Reolink TrackMix 4G can automatically track objects while it records them. It can also be moved (left/right, up/down) through the app while you’re 1200 miles away. This will allow you to scan your property at will. I really like this camera. amzn.to/48efQ0Q

@@HuntingFarmerOfficial thank you for the super fast reply, I enjoyed watching a few of your videos and we'll go check out this camera now. Happy new year to you and your family. ❤️🤠
WiseEye cameras are made in China 🇨🇳 for anyone who’s confused.
So is the equipment you used to post that response
Great video, thanks man
We’re just now starting our research before we buy a trail camera…so glad I found your channel!
I appreciate you watching 👍
Great video as always Dave a lot of good information thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it. I’ll bet you’re itching for Fall 😁👍
A much needed video! Thanks for making it, Dave 👍👍👍
Thank you! I appreciate you watching 👍
browning browning browning
Wow that's awesome 👍🏻
Thanks for watching! I have several Browning 👍
I bought a security camera that uses a battery. You take it down and recharge about every 3 weeks. I bought 2 and liked them. I have to buy a wifi to be able to use them, but after I installed them, I could access them without using my wifi. After using them for about 2 months, I bought 2 more. About that time, the cameras makers sent me the option for signing up for a premium service for 39 plus a year, or continue with free service. I always chose free service. My cameras stopped working. They did it. I returned the 2 new cameras that I had ordered. I am interested in buying a camera that I won't have to pay to use. I need it to actually work. I have 3 cameras that do not work. One is a Moultrie that I spent around $150. Moultrie is not good for helping customers.
It’s a black panther
Dave you say you're not an expert, but you sure do provide some great information about trail cameras.
Thanks Craig! I appreciate you watching 👍
Great video- thank you! I have some Moultrie Edge cell cameras. They are extremely slow to trigger video. The shortest option is 30 seconds! Terrible for surveillance and nearly useless for game.
I have Vision Pro trail camera, and I turn on to take picture, but it is empty after night in forest, there si no pictures or film, I tried to use it on my dog also, but there is nothing, empty.
PLEASE HELP WITH INFO
You explanation of Megapixels (MP) as stated by trail cameras refers to PHOTOS, not videos. The videos produced by trail cameras are measured by it's Video Resolution, i.e (1920 × 1080) which is commonly known as HD or Full HD, When you compared two video's side by side you were comparing the Video Resolution of both cameras and not the Megapixels (MP).
Also, when a trail camera specifies an angle like 90 degrees or 120 degrees, it is referring to the detection angle or field of view of the passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor, not the actual lens/camera viewing angle.
The PIR sensor in trail cameras detects heat signatures from moving objects within that specified detection angle. This allows the camera to be triggered to capture photos/videos when something moves across that field of detection.
The actual camera lens itself usually has a wider angle of view compared to the PIR sensor angle. The lens viewing angle determines how wide of an area the camera can capture in the frame.
So in summary:
The 90/120 degree spec refers to the PIR motion sensor detection angle
The camera lens itself likely has a wider field of view angle to capture more of the scene once triggered by the PIR sensor
The two angles serve different purposes - the PIR for motion detection and the lens for the actual photography coverage area. Manufacturers separate these specs.
In you image comparison about sensor size, I didn't hear you state WHICH image was from WHICH sensor. You simply stated the sizes being compared. And image quality is VERY dependent on lens quality as well. Put a poor lens on a large sensor and it will look lousy.
Your comparisons are a big issue. Especially the mega pucek comparison. The reason the lower megapixel one looks better is because of lighting, your lighting is inconsistent. It feels like you’re cherry picking. The reason the higher megapixel ones look worse is because the lighting in the videos make the camera set its ISO very high, causing a lot of noise.
Hey Hunting Farmer, need your knowledge to point me in the direction of a trail camera for really fast moving animals. Sometimes moving from left to right or right to left at up to about 25 mph. They are about 25 - 30 metres away and I need clear photos or videos. Need motion sensing and preferably wifi or card with batteries or anything you may suggest. As you have said, its confusing and misleading out there and I definely need a person like you for sure. Thankyou
Very good summary of what to look for Dave! You are an expert on trail cameras - you know a lot and share that knowledge! Great stuff!!
Thanks for watching and for your support and encouragement Dave. It’s appreciated 👍
I bought a NEXCAM Wildlife Camera 16MP 1080P Mini Trail Camera from off Amazon. It was the first trail camera I bought and it's just about useless, I tried for days to get it working with it showing pictures once and I couldn't connect it to the computer again. It wouldn't take pictures and drained the batteries in less than 1 hour of trying to use video mode. This has put me off trail camera completely, I'm not the most tech savi person but this was so hard to set up, I gave up in the end and sent it back to Amazon.
Excellent review Dave. You are a pro at these.
Thanks for watching Titus! It’s always appreciated 👍
A lot of great information in this video, Dave! Thank you for sharing the knowledge you have on trail cameras! 👍🏼
Thanks for watching Matt 👍
Use it as a servalance
Good stuff!!! Loved this informative video.
Thanks for watching 👍
And yet bigfoot has not been a focused pic yet
Haha! 😂
I appreciate you watching 👍
Very interesting, I guess much with trailcams is like cameras in general which comes down to lense quality, aperture size and processor ability.. NightTime of course going more difficult... As you mentioned, reviews as you said, is so very helpful. Awesome video and information. 👍
Thanks for watching and for your input Arielle. I appreciate it 👍
Wow! Was not expecting to see you here in the comments Arielle. 😁 Great video though. He done a great job.
@@MyAussieGardenKitchen I'm a longtime supporter of Dave's, I'd love to put a couple of these up down by the creek to see what I can see (I'd love to get the foxes down near here on trailcam). 😁
@@ArielleViking Yeah, just discovering that he has some really good stuff on his channel. I'm getting one for here since I have kangaroos, foxes, emus etc in the bush behind me and I want to capture the kangaroos in my front yard too. Will be good to see what gets in my orchard and veggie patches over night too.
Thank you sir for making this very helpful video!
I had a trail cam in my apartment about a decade ago just to have some fun to see if there might be some strange paranormal stuff going on and, of course, it was a camera with the inferred light. And so, the curious thing I saw were these white orbs floating and sometimes shooting around. It was pretty creepy but I also saw some videos that others had made and those also and the mysterious orbs in them. In one of my recordings there was like a big chunk of white stuff that feel down towards the floor. Anyway, I'm curious if you've ever set up a trail cam in your residence and had it happen to you as well? Also, do you have any idea what's going on with said phenomena?
Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching! I only remember using a trail camera in the house one time….my wife was not impressed! 😂
850 or 940 what? Inches?
Sorry for the confusion. 850Nm and 940nm are the two different infared light spectrums available for night time pictures/videos
great breakdown of the options, thank you so much!
G'day!
Thanks very much for making this video mate.
In the market for one here in Australia and I appreciate the info to help me be more informed on my choices.
All the best.
Daz.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
I learned something important. Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video. I have found a narrower FOV allows the image sensor to perform better. Trigger speeds are made up. I have a wired surveillance system that overlaps some of the trail cameras. The trigger starts the buffer, and LEDs at night. The advertised trigger speed relates to photos, video can be 10X longer (I.E. 0.3 to 3 seconds). That would be hard to know if you did not have a second full-time recording camera. Some of the higher mega pixel cameras have very low FPS
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and experiences 👍
Great review! Can ju tell me for you soo far what’s the best camera you have that can take videos and photos?
Thanks for watching. That’s a loaded question. There seems to be no perfect camera (there’s always a shortcoming in one way shape or form). The Campark TC07 is one of the best photo/video quality cameras I use but it has it’s shortcomings
2:32 can someone tell me the camera is used please?
Cameras used at 2:32 was BOG Clandestine trail camera.
Thanks a lot for your time! I have another question I am looking for a camera to make a channel in wild life what would you recommend for the best video quality and sounds? The bog clandestine seems to be good but I wanted to know your recommandations! Also if you have any recommandations on a trail cam to make live video I would like to know the best for this! And finally let me know if all of my idea with a trail cam is realistic or not really. Thank you in advance.
So which one is which one????
Sorry, I don’t understand
Do any work for up close bird watching?
Thanks for watching. Most trail camera don’t do well for up close action. Must are made for a much wider field of view. With that said, they’ll work but you won’t get the highest quality up close pictures or videos
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Thank you 😊
Hey my FRIEND! Stopping by for a visit today with you! Trail cameras are great! We definitely need one!
Thanks for watching Gary 👍
