Camera was very easy to use. Not sure why so many people had issues. The variable zoom is not a true zoom, but works in steps, which don't bother me. I set it at 110 degrees. Tested in a large pool, at 14' deep with 8 dives and no leakage. Image has slight distortion, but for the price, great image. Headed to Alexander Springs here in FL next week, so it will get tested camping, kayaking, and snorkeling. So far the camera has worked flawlessly. Watched a few online videos, did some time lapse of a flower opening, all came out well.Like the tripod mount, also. I am used to a Canon Digital 35mm for the small size was strange to me for a while, but lot easier to drop in your pocket. The exposure really surprised me. Even with part of the image being sky, there was no over-exposure on the image. All in all, I would suggest this camera for any action person. More test and will add some images from the camping trip later.

Everything is great and what i was expecting thanks!

I live in an area where there is a lot of wildlife that comes through my yard and I really wanted to find out what kind of animal has been raiding my garden. This camera caught my attention because of the higher 1296P compared to the 1080p that are more common. I also wanted a camera where I can turn on and off the wifi mode remotely so I don't have to go to the camera to turn on the Wifi Mode, this comes with a remote control that you can use to turn on/off the wifi mode. This was a big plus for me and it has worked pretty well for me, I did not have to physically press the button on the camera every time I wanted to see what images the camera has captured. All you have to do is turn on the wife via remote and then you connect to the camera's wifi through your phone's app and you can access the photos and videos in the trail cam.The picture quality is really good, I kept the photo resolution at 24MP(Max) and both the day and night pictures were very crisp and clear. The videos captured were very detailed and there was no distortion, as you would see on lower quality trail cams. The only negative to this is you need to get a bigger SD card as it fills up 32 GB very fast. The packaging was ok, everything was securely in the box. I also wish it took fewer batteries, 8 AA batteries is a lot and I hope I don't have to replace these as frequently. The motion detection has been accurate and I kept the IR level in the lowest setting and it has been working pretty well for my needs.If you need a good-quality trail cam with nice features, this XTU Trial Cam is a great choice.
