WOSPORTS Trail Camera,48MP 4K 0.2S Trigger Motion Activated,Game Hunting Camera with Night Vision IP66 Waterproof 2.0''LCD 120°Wide Cam Lens for Outdoor Scouting Wildlife Monitoring Home Security

We started having minor issues with trespassers this summer. When Black Friday 2021 rolled around I decided to buy a bunch of budget cameras to test them out and keep the best six. I compared:(3) GardePro E5 ($53.99)(3) GardePro E5S ($57.99)(1) GardePro E6 ($83.99)(1) GardePro E8 ($97.99)(2) Wosport G6oo ($41.99)(1) Usogood WIFI trail camera 4K (Gifted to me, currently lists for $113.99)(1) my one year old Victure ($84.22)(Black Friday 2021 Prices except for the Victure, which was Black Friday of 2020)So my winners and keepers in order are1) GardePro E62) Gardepro E83) Wosport G6oo.Everything else (Except the Victure) got sent back. That about sums it up, but if you want the details and why I made those choices then read on.I initially set up a test in the forest behind my house and put all the cameras side by side on a board about four feet off the ground. I set it up so that I could walk into view at a right angle 90 feet away from the cameras then walk directly in towards the lens. I let the cameras run for 24 hours and made several trips down to the board midday, evening and in pitch black darkness.For physical design the GardePro cams are all awful. The screen is on the inside lid behind the camera, so it’s only visible when you have the camera pointed in the wrong direction. Figuring out where to mount the camera so that it’s pointed at the precise right spot is a real chore. The battery compartment lid is crazy tight. I had to use a flat screwdriver to get to the batteries and for some reason none of my rechargeable batteries fit. Finally, the memory card slot pops out the bottom and it’s not always obvious when you have it “locked” in. I envision SD cards getting lost in leaves in my future. The E6 and E8 had some redeeming qualities though:The Winner: GardePro E6: It worked perfectly right out of the box with very little configuration. The poor physical design is overridden by the WiFi feature, which allows me to get the cam pointed using the screen on my phone. I could review the images and videos on the cam without pulling the card so dropping it out the bottom is a smaller concern. The sensitivity isn’t perfect but it works better than anything else in the group I tested, except the slightly more expensive E8. The images and video were not as good as my phone. They aren’t even as good the phone I stopped using eight years ago. But compared to all the other cameras in the test they are exceptional. I was easily visible in the night time video at 90 feet, and could almost start to recognize myself at about 50 feet away. My face was easily recognizable when I got to somewhere between 25 and 20 feet from the camera.GardePro E8: This performed almost exactly as the E6. The only reason I put the E6 at the top of my list is that I don’t really see any extra value for the price, unless getting a slightly higher resolution (32MP vs 24MP) is super important to you. I was more interested in video, and they both record at 1296p. If they were within $10 I’d buy the E8, but at the time of this writing there’s a $20 gap that I don’t think is justified, unless there is some other feature I just haven’t noticed yet. If I discover some other benefit in the next year I’ll come back and edit. If they both go for the Black Friday prices again I’ll get the E8.Wosport G6oo: Honestly, these were so cheap I bought them to use as decoys. These don’t have the invisible IR so when they trigger you will see a red light. I intended to set these up as a deterrent, with a second (and better) camera watching the same area but out of sight. Someone approaching the camera would hopefully see it and turn around, but if they decide to trespass anyway and steal one of these cameras to cover their tracks, I would get proof from the better hidden camera. I was really surprised at how good the sensitivity was right out of the box, the quality of the videos and audio, and how intelligently the physical case is put together. After sending back the E5 and E5S cameras, I decided to just mount these up out of reach with a ladder where a trespasser can’t get to them easily.UsoGood: As far as usability and sensitivity goes this is a great camera. Unfortunately I was not impressed with the images or video. The images I got were all grainy both night and day, and had a serious fisheye distortion without adding any noticeable field of vision over the other cameras. I had put this on my wishlist after drooling over the feature list and the reviews, but as badly as I wanted to love this camera I had to send it back using the gift receipt. Hopefully my in-laws won’t be upset.GardeE5 cameras: Great images for the price, but the sensitivity and audio was not good. They never stopped triggering. In 24 hours I ended up with 990 images on each camera. I retested these by putting the sensitivity down to medium, and then they wouldn’t trigger until I was within 25 feet. Another deal breaker was that the audio on all three was horribly muffled. If a trespasser is talking I want to be able to hear everything they are saying. If a deer suddenly turns to look somewhere I want to know what sound made it jumpy.GardePro E5S cameras: Like the E5, great images for the price, but the sensitivity and audio was not good. They triggered nonstop and in 24 hours I ended up with 1391 images on each camera. I retested these by putting the sensitivity down to medium. They improved but I still ended up with about 20 pictures and videos of a dead still forest with no clue as to what triggered them. I think I could have gotten the sensitivity to work as needed but the biggest problem I ran into was that the audio on all three had a consistent clicking sound in addition to being muffled. I tried downloading the newest firmware but that didn’t seem to make any difference.Victure: I don’t see these on Amazon anymore so it’s probably not worth mentioning, though these had rave reviews in 2020. The sensitivity on this is a little low but overall it works as expected, and I’ve gotten some great clear videos of deer and racoon. The biggest issue I have with my Victure is that the IR range at night seems to be weak. Any movement beyond 25 feet at night is so poorly lit that you can’t tell what you’re looking at. It’s the perfect camera for tracking Bigfoot, as you’ll get all the blurry ghostly night images you could hope for.

I purchased this trail camera to monitor animal activity around my property which lies in a fairly rural area and at night, various animals come through, including cats, foxes, skunks, possums, and yes, rats. The first camera I received worked very well when it came to motion detection and night vision, but for some reason the video was frequently problematic and would stutter in segments. I reached out to the company and they were very proactive and sent me a replacement very quickly - this review is based both on the original camera I received and the replacement.- Very easy to set up, you need 8 AA batteries (I used rechargeable Enerloops) and an SD card (full-sized). The camera itself comes with a 32GB one, which is more than sufficient if you're regularly checking the camera's data every couple of days. I used an SD card reader to view images and video on my computer.- It's very durable. I placed it in areas where the temperature exceeded 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the daytime and got down to 35 degrees at night, and the camera worked just fine. There's a locking mechanism that secures both the screen and controls with a regular lock that you can add yourself, but I did not use that.- The infrared LEDs are very powerful - I have a night time security camera as well, and when the trail camera lit up on the security camera at night, it was practically like seeing a floodlight on the monitoring screen. Of course, it's infrared, so I did not find that the LEDs scared off any animals; they frequently came up within inches of the camera.- In tight spaces, it may be somewhat awkward to figure out a good shooting angle for the camera since the screen is in the front - a bit of trial and error may be needed.

Overall satisfied with these, and I have five now. Four stars because after 12 months, one of the straps has become so brittle it just breaks when you try to cinch up slack (put up at 9,000 feet). Waiting on new batteries to see if one camera died completely or the batteries did (odds are the camera unfortunately, but we'll see).

We bought this item a few months ago for our backyard. We've since caught images of foxes, rabbits, squirrels, birds, an Owl and a skunk. My husband loved it so much he got another for the front of our house so he can see deer (we have a fenced in yard that has som gaps for small animals). My son also loves to look at the pictures with us!

Takes really good photos and videos I have cropped these on my computer. I have used this a lot and had no trouble it takes very good photos including birds in flight you can also set it to take burst of photos and the a video after the burst

This camera has done good so far in the woods, the daytime pictures are great. I'm still in the process of adjusting the settings right for nighttime pictures, but customer support has emailed me back with suggestions to correct the nighttime pictures. Customer support has already reached out to me again to see if my problems have been resolved.

It’s okay. Takes good pictures, it’s set up seems to be pretty water proof, but I don’t like that you can’t access the photos from the memory button . What good is the screen showing the camera if you can’t access the stored photos?

This is a well-built camera that is simple and straightforward to set up. It requires non-rechargeable batteries, so it will cost more over the lifetime, but with data card included, it is a great value. In the first weeks it operated as expected with high quality pictures. I will update again, but this manufacturer has provided excellent customer support in the past so I am giving it the highest rating.
