Easy to operate, nice clear camera. Extended battery life.

This is an inexpensive, but easy-to-use trail camera that includes two methods of mounting. You may mount it to a tree by wrapping the provided strap around a tree and cinching it tight. The strap is about 69" long, so it is long enough to go around a substantial tree. My only complaint with the strap is that it is difficult to get the strap tight enough when working against a tree. When I thread the strap through the buckle when it is not around anything, it is easy to tighten. But add a tree (or in my case, a post) to the scenario, and it becomes difficult to get it good and tight. I felt the need to double wrap it and then tie the loose end to the strap.The other mount is a a metal one that mounts to a flat surface. It even comes with screws and anchors that would allow you to mount it to concrete. I was skeptical that it would hold the weight of the camera, but using the allen wrench included, you can tighten it enough to hold it steady. I think that even in the woods I might use this mount instead of the strap since it is easier to aim.The camera housing is sturdy and easily opens and closes with two latches. You can also add a padlock, but the lock could be easily broken off by simply breaking the plastic housing. When you open it, you have a battery compartment on the right and the camera on the left. It requires eight AA batteries and if one is bad it will not power up. A battery test is conducted each time you turn the unit on.The controls are straightforward. On the bottom of the unit there is a card slot for a mini-SD card (included), a mini USB slot (for included cord), and a switch with three positions: off, test, and on.Buttons on the face of the unit include menu, replay, shot, and OK, along with directional arrows. The up arrow shows a video camera and a bottom arrow shows a still camera.I tried this our on our back deck hoping to catch our dogs as they walked by. What I found was that since I mounted it on a post I didn't really catch anything up close but rather got some shots of them in the distance. I plan to mount it out near our apple trees where deer frequently walk through and will post the resulting photos and update this review then.Overall, I am pleased with this unit. It does the job. I'll update this review once I've had more real-world experience with it.

I never heard of the Dsoon band before, but the price was great and other people seemed to like this trail camera so I took a chance and ordered one myself. Turns out, this is a great product! The camera is easy to operate and most importantly, the image quality is clear and bright (at least for my application). Build quality is solid. I'd probably think twice before exposing it to really severe conditions, but I expect it will be just fine operating in my backyard or on the trail in a lightly covered position such as under a tree.

Versatile and easy to operate. Amazing performance for such a low cost camera.

Everything that i read about the cameras features were true. I had and still have not experienced anything that would contradict what was described in the cameras details. The picture was taken at sunset with a little fog in Georgia this past October. The reason i picked this picture was because of the weather and i feel the picture is perfect.

This trail camera does everything that the far more expensive models do. It's solid and easy to operate. I highly recommend it.

Fast shipping, just got it looks like a great camera. Simple to operate with clear instructions and comes with a nice case. Looking forward to to take it on the trail.

Great camera. Easy to operate and takes great pictures.
