This trail camera is pretty easy to set up and use

Update January 29, 2023. I made one mistake in my original review. This trail cam comes with at 32 gig micro SD card not a 16 gig card. I also set the trail cam back to the default settings of taking 3 pictures before a video is recorded. In my review below, I had mentioned that I would try a different settting. I tried one picture, then the video recording would start. That ended up with about a series of 800 pictures, each followed by a short video. That gave me 800 short videos that I had no intention of checking each one. It is very quick and easy to scroll through the pictures, the videos, even short ones, take too much time to review.Original reviewThis trail cam pretty much worked straight out of the box, even though I was not quite sure what I was doing when I set it up. After installing the batteries (that were included, as well as a 16 gig micro SD card), I followed the basic set-up procedures, strapped the camera up in my backyard and turned it on. I made a quick check to make sure it was working properly, then I had to leave town for 5 days. Today, 12 days after putting the camera up was the first time I had to check to see what kind of activity the camera recorded. When I hooked the trail cam up to my computer, I had a combination of 713 photos and videos. I used the camera's default setting, so the camera took both pictures and videos. There were approximately 3 pictures for every video that were taken during the last 12 days. Overall, the quality of the pictures were good, including the night-time photographs. There were several blurred photographs of animals moving quickly through area in front of the camera's lens. I assume these photographs were taken right before the video recording started, because most of the videos only show the animals leaving the view of the camera lens. (It appears that you can adjust the number of photographs taken before the video recording starts, so the camera should be able capture the movement of the animals sooner.) The default setting for the length of the video recordings is 15 seconds (this can be lengthened). The maximum size of micro SD card that can be used with the trail cam is 128 gig. Tomorrow I am going to switch out the 16 gig SD card the trail cam came with, with a 64 gig SD card and extend the video recording time and resolution. Today, I reset the camera up using the bracket that came with it, instead of using the strap. (Although, my first impression is that the camera is more secure with the strap rather than the bracket. The camera seemed wobbly with the bracket.) I will update this review in a few weeks. I am pleased with my first results with this trail cam.
