1296P 24MP Wildlife Camera Trail Camera with 120°Wide-Angle Motion Latest Sensor View 0.2s Trigger Time IP66 Waterproof + 64G Memory Card| Bark
SKU: KF35.120
This is the fifth trail camera I've owned, so I have some experience with different versions. This one probably has the best user manual I've seen - not only is it a good size and the print is big enough to read without a magnifying glass, it's well written. But even then, the manual is hardly needed - I adjusted most of the settings on the camera after inserting the battery and memory card without having to read the manual, except for a few settings (to make sure I knew what they meant). It takes very good photos and video - I've posted examples of both. It hasn't set off the detector at night yet. But even at medium sensitivity during the day, it did pick up a cat walking by about 20-25 feet from the camera. I have some other cameras that sometimes don't trigger as reliably when a human walks by. So high marks on sensitivity and clarity of photos and video - at least in the light. The mic may not be as sensitive on this camera as some others, but then it doesn't seem to pick up any significant wind noise either - which I think is a good thing. Just note that you may need to turn the volume up if you're looking for things that aren't too close to the camera. Similar to other cameras of this type, I set it to take 3 photos and then video. And in that kind of setting, it takes the photos first and THEN starts recording. So if you want to be more on video and record earlier, take a photo and then a video, or just set it for video. I added a photo and a video showing when the photo was first taken and you can see the video started later (assuming there were two photos in between). But the detector triggering seems to happen pretty early and works well. On that note, and helpfully, this camera didn't trip up every time the wind blew the leaves off trees like it did with another camera I have. So this one - so far anyway - has only captured people and animals walking, not every movement that happens to happen in the frame, which is nice. Then I don't have to sift through hundreds of photos and videos of "leaves moving on the trees" to find the ones that have something important on them. I don't have any infrared photos or videos yet - I was hoping to catch coyotes/pheasants/opossums/rabbits since we have those coming through our property in other areas. No luck yet, but if/when I do I'll post and update the review to include that experience. Very good camera so far. Time will tell how it performs in more severe weather conditions and in infrared.

use the camera for two different situations. Firstly, wood is stolen from us every now and then and I record it from time to time... We have even been able to convict a thief with it. The other reason is that it is always annoying when animals are injured on our pasture (sheep, horses or sometimes cows) and here I record what movements take place here, whether it is animals like the wolf that has also poached here before or dogs belonging to walkers that unfortunately have often caused trouble. This camera records very well, has good sensitivity and the sharpness at night is sufficient to tell exactly which animal it is from a distance of around 25m. During the day it takes good photos but videos are also good, just don't make the mistake of watching the video on a UHD TV, then you have a pixel party, which means that the quality is good but only HD and this depends heavily on the lighting conditions. What I particularly like is that it only needs 4 batteries. I don't need a wildlife camera that lasts 30 days or longer and the fact that it comes with a memory card is also a good thing, so you can use the camera straight away. I have a camera in camouflage bark, which I really like because of the camouflage effect. Recommendation: If someone wants to hang the camera in the forest like I did, but it's within reach of everyone and so that it can't be stolen so easily, I recommend using a stainless steel cable tie instead of the safety strap. This can only be removed with pliers/side cutters and therefore makes it a bit harder to steal the camera. Conclusion: Very good camera with a great design, good workmanship and sensible menu navigation. A clear 4 stars and a purchase recommendation. The 5th star would have been given if there was something particularly convincing or if a lithium polymer battery had been installed that could have been charged with a USB-C connection.

Scope of delivery 1 wildlife camera 1 64 GB SD memory card 1 fastening strap 1 mini USB cable 1 operating manual (German) Not included in delivery 4 AA batteries The plastic housing is printed with a camouflage pattern to optimally adapt to the surroundings in nature. Of course, the camera is splash-proof so that it can be attached anywhere outdoors without hesitation. All in all, the camera makes a good impression, the material is well made and seems quite robust, and the recordings are also satisfactory. The menu navigation is quite simple and self-explanatory, and if you want to test the camera straight away, the included quick start guide is sufficient. Both videos and photos can be taken, and recordings at night are of course also possible. The pictures are also fine, and since the shutter release time is 0.2 seconds according to the manufacturer, you won't miss any "visitors" so quickly. The camera is ideal if you want to observe what's going on in your garden. There can be some surprises if, for example, you suddenly discover a fox in the pictures. The photos can be viewed directly on the device or transferred elsewhere using a cable or memory card. An additional function would of course be to be able to access the pictures via a smartphone. Price/performance The price of €101.99 is relatively high, as there are much cheaper models with comparable quality. Conclusion Overall, the wildlife camera is a recommendable product, for which I give 4/5 stars. I deduct 1 for the high price.

There are much higher resolution cameras on the market. If you're looking for the best image quality you can get, then go ahead and buy. *If* you want to use it to scout a trail, service low-key wildlife, or service nasty intruder intruders, this little thing is easy to position and hide. It fits in one hand, can be strapped into the brush, and hidden well. The built-in LCD screen is great for reviewing your files in the field when you do that. Personally, I quickly swap SD cards and edit the photos/videos on my computer. I installed lithium batteries in July and it's late October and the battery level is still almost full.

This is a very good trail camera. Setup is very quick and easy. There are many options for picture and video setting which I really like. The deer in the night picture is obviously very close so I would expect the picture to be a little washed out. After being out for 2 days and taking 25 pictures and videos, the batteries are still fully charged. Due to the size of the files I was unable to upload any videos. I am very happy with this trail camera

Amazing resolution, takes very good action shots and the night mode is clear. I put mine in my yard to watch my dog and his hole digging activities. Got a good video of him playing. Installation was easy, a large strap was big enough to fit around a large tree trunk. I put it on my beach umbrella stand. Set it to 'on', the screen inside turned off and it was ready to go. It survived outside in 25 degrees Celsius full sun. Video and picture mode shows temperature, time and date after setting up in the menu. It requires 4 AA batteries or a multi power pack, neither of which are included so it doesn't work out of the box. Since the camera works with only four AA batteries I would have expected four to be included. Also comes with an SD card which is an added bonus. Otherwise this is a great camera and I highly recommend it for all your wildlife watching.

At first I was disappointed that my old wildlife camera had fallen victim to a thief. Now I'm almost glad, because that was the reason I bought this one. What can I say - a difference like day and night: The wildlife camera delivers clear images, triggers quickly enough and can really be used in everyday life. Since pictures say more than 1000 words, please look at the 3 photos of the dog running past. The camera comes with everything you need. Also a 64GB SD card. You will also need 4 or 8 AA batteries. Very detailed German instructions with lots of pictures complete the package and make initial setup child's play even for inexperienced users. The camera has now survived several heavy thunderstorms without damage and this time I attached it high and at a slight angle to a tree with the strap. I am completely satisfied and I wanted to share that. The price is extremely fair. There are cheaper ones, but the recording quality and response time here is better.

I wanted to keep an eye on the wildlife in my paddock and decided to order this camera. Came very well packaged and with an SD card. I didn't know that you have to switch it to "on" to actually take the pictures, and had accidentally left it at the setup, but soon realized it and left it to take some pictures and videos. The motion sensitivity is adjustable so it can vary if sheep are coming from close or further away, but all photos and videos were very clear. Very satisfied with the purchase.

ordered this wildlife camera some time ago to keep an eye on our nocturnal hedgehog visitor. Unfortunately, the hedgehog hasn't appeared recently, but a cat has been caught. The camera is quick to set up and seems robust. There are numerous settings that you should familiarize yourself with at the beginning (photo/video, their resolution, video length, pause between recordings, time lapse, time slot, etc.) - but once you've set them up properly, everything works perfectly. I'm also very happy with the image quality and the large recording angle/range. The two attached photos were taken in complete darkness. You can either view photos/videos directly on the camera or simply copy/view them to your computer via USB. It's well suited to my purpose on the terrace, now I just need the hedgehog to show up again.

Since I bought an outdoor wildlife camera a few months ago that my friends really liked, I wanted to give this camera as a gift. It is similar to the model that I already have. The wildlife camera makes a very high-quality impression (see pictures), has IP66 water protection and comes with a 64GB SD card already inserted. You also need 1.5 V AA batteries (4 are enough for operation). The operating instructions are in German and show all of the camera's modes. Among other things, you can set whether photos or videos should be taken and for what period of time. Before installing the camera, however, you should take test recordings that you can view directly on the internal screen. At just under €100, the camera is not super cheap, but hopefully the recipient will enjoy it for a long time and be able to take a closer look at the wildlife in the garden. All in all, a great product!
