I love that it can connect to my phone and i can share images right away!

User manual says not to use rechargeable batteries, but I've been using them exclusively so far with no problems.

I'm a bit torn on this cam.Pros:+ it is nicely small and stand-alone, so easy to set somewhere and record.+ it video doesn't suck (not awesome either) .+ pulling out the micro SD card, I can load and view videos in Win10 without problem.+ battery lasted about 40 minutes on the initial charge, but after leaving it on the charger overnight, no problems running for just over an hour on the battery.Cons:- I bought it specifically because it seemed from the description I could narrow the degree of view. I believe that is not possible. Every "cam" I buy seems to have a very wide field of view, I want a smaller frame for close-ups and interviews ... without the cam having to be like a foot from the subject.- The "XDV" app is crap. Doesn't really want to connect and when it did, it lost connection and then I wasn't able to do anything again. I've got some experience with other WiFi cams and they're not this bad.I'll update if there's something more to contribute. Like I said, it's not a waste of money, I just have to figure out how to fit this particular piece of technology into my life.

I was able to snag a few of these when they were only $35.99 each, and also purchased two 16gb SD cards as well as rechargeable batteries (although the instructions say rechargeables don't work with these cameras they definitely do). Having never used trail cameras before, I found these to be easy to set up and use. I put these up in several different locations a few months ago to see what 4 legged, and possibly 2 legged creatures, were on some property I just purchased. To my delight, the cameras were able to catch some bucks, does, a few fawns, a whole lot of turkeys and one bobcat. It also caught an unknown fella walking by. The daytime pics are pretty decent while the nighttime pics are a little on the grainy side but still clear enough to identify what's in the pictures. The cameras have held up well to many days of rain and temperatures over 100 degrees on some days. One of the only negative things about them is the need to use the little remote control they came with to access the setting, look at pictures, etc. Apparently, the new version has built in controls on the camera itself which makes things a lot more convenient.
