2PCS HC-900A 36MP//2.7K/0.2s Trigger Trail Camera HD Outdoor Game Camera Waterproof Hunting Infrared Night Vision Camera
SKU: KF35.003V2
I bought the garde A3 2 months ago. 1st thing that I'd noticed is there is no setting for 20mp pics?! 2,4,8,16 & 24mp. U might be thinking that's a good thing. Except I've always had good luck with sony stuff. I ordered this camera in part because the 20mp gardeA3 has the Sony whatever sensor. So does it?? Don't know. I do know that the the garde A5 is a 24mp camera without the Sony sensor. Mine is surely marked as an A3. What I do know for sure is I retrieved it from the woods yesterday. Went thru almost 1400 pics. Im not sure there's even one night shot that's what I'd call a good clear picture!! Totally disappointed. Another thing l noticed was the large number of deer that noticed the camera! In the day time sure but In the dark?! Weeks after it was put out. I will contact the company asap after this weekend to find out what features this particular camera has. I did purchase an SD card with a faster write speed. The one l had in there was a Sandisk image mate 90mb/s. I'd guess the write speed around 30. Now I will try the SanDisk extreme pro 170mb/s. That one says it's write speed is "up to" 90mb/s. Maybe it will clear up the night shots?? It does detect at a good distance. Last thing, I live in Minnesota there's been a couple nights to -20 while the camera was out. It says it's good to -4. I had a few pics that showed -5 but none on the coldest nights even though the camera was still on when i got to it. So either there were no deer or coyotes out and about those night. Which is kinda hard to believe or the camera stops taking pictures in severe cold but functions when it warms?? Don't know, yet. have fun

I bought 3 of these cameras mainly to record what wild life was roaming around at night as we live in the country and our dog and cat often alert to things we did not see. The cameras work well and are easy to program but one camera after about 12 months of continuous use suddenly decided to consume batteries at a prodigious rate but only recorded about 4 minutes of video in the process. I contacted Garde Pro and after some Q&A on set up and diagnosis they replaced the camera free of charge. That was unexpected as I thought perhaps at the most I would get a discount on a new camera so I consider this excellent customer service.

I just received this camera today. This camera seems very well built, great settings and seems like a quality camera from the outside. However, every time it takes a photo, it makes an intense high pitched squealing sound for about a second. When it takes a video, it lasts the entire length of the video. Not sure what is going on here and have not read any other reviews with this issue so I will contact the company and see how this problem is resolved. Will update this review with more details and photos/videos when a solution has been reached.

Bought this for my hubby for Christmas. He loves it. We have captured videos of critters hanging out behind our house at night. It has all of the features he wanted at a reasonable cost.

The motion detection is very sensitive. Picture quality and video quality is excellent. Have been using in all weather and had no issues. Definitely give this one a try! The Deer like to take what looks like selfies. And the raccoons get up close pics haha

As advertised. Easy to use and turn on, strap to tree, etc., mount on tripod. Batteries last. Water tight. Picture and video quality is good. Preview screen is big enough.

The camera has been working great! I've just been using the still photos, but they have been clear. I've been using it to get pictures of my driveway just outside my courtyard. Nothing eventful yet, but I did find that a neighbor's cat has been coming over.
