 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.

Very nice little camera for the price. Easy installation and simple to follow instructions for set up. Nice picture quality. I have zero experience with these kind of devices so I was a little apprehensive to try one but I wanted to find out what was leaving fur on my porch at night. Raccoon family! I love this camera and will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Works better than expected outdoors, in / on the car and underwater.

Has worked for me for more than a month now. In San Diego, both AT&T and Verizon have great service so reception is not an issue anywhere. It has worked flawlessly so far with capturing everything passing by (and even not passing by sometimes!)The signal detection has been pretty good and I haven't noticed any signal drop or disconnect, just got a data only SIM and it worked pretty smoothly, you can suspend your line if you like so you don't have to pay for the line every month if you don't want to.The capture quality is pretty good, although I think the advertised 32MP is not realistic, they probably upscale or use some sort of digital modification as the quality of the photos really doesn't look like a 32MP, unless they are using an average lens which is possible since this is not supposed to be used to capture regular photos of ourselves like a regular camera but still, it could have been better.With setup, what I'd strongly recommend is to set the PIR sensor/detector at a really low level. Remember, if you decide to start with a higher one and then lower it using the setting option of the App, the system would need a hard manual reset which means you have to go to the physical location of the camera again. Doesn't make sense but that's the only way it worked for me.The reason I recommend low PIR sensitivity is that for some reason, even at higher sensitivities, this camera gets many false triggers and if your notification is on, it drives you crazy and you'll end up disabling notification in the end which kinda defeats the purpose.Overall, a good quality camera with an easy setup and nice capture. I strongly believe it needs a firmware update of some sort to fix the false trigger issue but if you think you can live with removing a bunch of false triggers and living with a few bad and disappointing notifications for those wrong triggers, this is a good camera overall. If you can spend a bit more, I've found Code Black to be a little better.

Used it for kayaking. Will use it for camping and paddling soon. I'm very happy with it. Allot of accessories decent pictures for the money. Good buy.UPDATE, I love this cam. Took a few treys to get into it. But now it's great. And nice pics too. When I tell Gruene what I paid they want to get them too. Way to go. Good service better product.

My son enjoyed using this in the pool taking underwater videos. He seems to be very happy with it and it’s definitely waterproof if the housing is used correctly

Good. Hard to install without being quite careful, but does the job well. No adverse affect on photos.
