- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- This is an updated product review of some of the cheapest trail cameras on Amazon. Trail cameras are the best scouting tool we have available to us as deer hunters. My goal was to find a cheap camera that checked all the boxes and performed as well as some of the more expensive trail cams. I'm always on the search for the best budget trail camera and the best trail cam for the money. I think I've found it. These are some of the best budget trail cameras for 2022.

Really good video! That took a lot of work to run this comparison for so long and keep track of all those variables.
I appreciate it! It was definitely a lot of work! Glad I finally got it finished!
Nice informative video Aaron. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Mark. I really appreciate the feedback!
I just started researching trail cans in the 50 dollar range because that’s an acceptable amount if it gets stolen. I am going with your number one pick due to the fact that you showed photos and videos from it, something many other videos lacked. I’m trying to capture videos and pics of the biggest wild raccoon I have ever seen, live or online because no one will believe me that she is pushing 50 pounds or more. I saw her when I was sitting quietly observing a high traffic game trail and at first I thought it was a strange shaped medium sized coy wolf until it got within 10 feet of me. I was in disbelief until she came sack for a second pass. I’ll post a link to some footage when I get some. Thanks again for helping this cheapskate make up his mind and Happy Hunting sir👍
🤣🤣 now I’m hooked. Let me know if you get a video of her!
the Chinese are now selling miniature trail camera for 15$.
@@Francois_Dupontname of them?
Nice work! It’s cool seeing your process!
Thanks Zach!
Great review again. Appreciate it.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks so much for doing this, really helpful.
No problem! Happy you found it valuable!
This was VERY helpful. I watched a few other videos reviewing trail cams and this was by far the most informative and demonstrative. I purchased the last 2 you mentioned. The Wasoda was $40. I can’t wait to see what’s wandering around our property!
Hi Ellie, thanks for the feedback and I hope those cameras work out well for you!
@@NextStepOutdoors I’ll let you know and share if I capture anything awesome!
How is it working for you now?
Great! The Wasoda is the better of the two I purchased. It’s all about placement and temperature. When it’s hot the cameras are perpetually triggered. I love the nocturnal footage. Lots of playful coyotes.
Well put together video. Thank you for your time and effort!
Happy to help!
Not really, cause failed to let us know if can dial in and see 'real time' footage' or is it all just 'play back footage'???
And or failed to say if a subscription is needed for the service...details my man, details please.
Great Video - Your #1 Pic (Vikeri) is the exact one I got 6 months ago based on Amazon Ratings and watched you video to learn trail cams. Ordering 2 more Vikeri's Thanks
Hey Tim - Glad it's working out for you. The Vikeri's are awesome cameras. Best I've found so far out of the lower end cams out there. I'm planning to pick up a couple more as well. Really like the no-glow feature and it makes me feel a lot better about my chances of not spooking a mature buck by running cams. Good luck this fall!!!
-Aaron
Thanks this is just what I needed
Glad it was helpful!
Great comparison, but also loved the wide variety in trail cam footage! Maybe I should toss one of these in my backyard and finally find out what is emptying my bird feeders overnight!
Might catch your neighbor walking across your lawn too!
Excellent review - thanks 👍
Happy to help!
Great info Aaron. Can you share the setup/settings you ran for the Vikeri? Thanks in advance
I felt like you gave a honest review, thank you!
That’s always my goal! Hope it helped!
It's not "a" honest review, but "an" honest review. It's funny how idiots on the internet can so consistently learn everything backwards.
Thank you for the helpful and informative video. I liked, subscribed and purchased the Vikeri for $50 w/same day delivery. We have purchased a number of Browning trail cams over the years, with varying success for more than twice the dough. No glow is the way to go!
Great to hear! Good luck this year!
How the heck did I miss this upload? I love these gear review vids!
We’re too busy in Las Vegas!
I realize this is an older video that I found, but that Viking that you voted number 1 looks exactly like my SESERN camera. Probably made in same factory and branded with another name. Anyway, I really like my SESERN game cam. Year plus old and still performing well. Nice video.
Thanks pal, great video
🫡🫡
Great video, thanks!
Glad you found it helpful!!
@NextStepOutdoors I did and just bought the Vikeri with your link- thanks! 👍
Thanks for this review. What size card can you run in the Wosoda?
All of these cameras can take up to a 32gb. SD cards are so cheap now that I always try to use the largest ones I can.
great video ...cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
I am running 3 of the Wosoda cams and I’m curious what settings you find the best? I’m immediately switching to Energizer Lithium batts. because the cold seems to really effect the alkaline. I’ve been experimenting with Rain-X on the lenses 👍
The settings generally depend on where I place the camera. If it’s on a trail or somewhere I expect to just catch deer passing through, I run them on either 2 or 3 picture blast and a 10-15 second delay. If it’s on food where I expect them to stay a while, I’ll usually run it on a 2 pic burst and 20 second delay. Also, I only run lithiums in all my cameras. They just perform way better that way. Most cameras will run a full season on one set of batteries.
What setting do you use at night for the Vikeri? Bought it because your night time video looks really good, and mine's beyond grainy at night. Not new to trail cams, but can't seem to figure that part out. Thanks!
Thanks for the video! The Vikeri has a 40% discount right now so its goin for $44. Snagged me one
Appreciate you letting me know! Sweet deal for that cam!
The Viker 1520P is 20mp 0.2 trigger & has in the field video playback !
It is a pretty nifty feature that I didn't highlight.
Thank you! This is very helpful me and my neighbors have quite a bit of land and there’s a ton of construction going on in the surrounding area so all the wildlife has come to our yards, unfortunately they’re getting to our chickens we think it’s a big cat and would like to try and get it in camera cause clearly our traps aren’t working
Good luck!!!!
I’ve purchased some of these cameras and most of them stopped working after 3 - 6 months… great video keep them coming!!!!
I appreciate the feedback. Mine are still running strong. When you say they stopped working what do you mean?
@@NextStepOutdoors so they turn on and then take a picture of me walking away. Then nothing for 3-4 months. And I put them on hog and deer trails. I set up a tasco Walmart camera next to it to see if anything walked by. And the tasco was getting 10-20 pictures a day. I kind like those cheap tascos 28$ Walmart extremely reliable and cheap great on batteries. I use MoultrieMobile now. I used SPYPOINT 2 years ago. The reason I moved to MoultrieMobile is the remote update. I never have to bring them out to update the software.
@@NextStepOutdoors they work for about 6 months.
Hey great video, very informative. Can you tell me how long the batteries generally last on these cameras. Can you use rechargable AAA batteries in them or can you connect them to a power bank.
I don't like people who make videos, yet never come back to answer questions.
I really want to know if they're, these cams, are 'real time', in that can you plug into it, from phone, and observe real time activity, or is it all just recorded for later play.
@Anderson88ProductReviews-ei1mj me neither. Its dumb. If these people review something, they must have found out everything possible about them, yet aren't prepared to answer questions on them. If someone asks me something in a comment on my videos, I will always reply to them, even if I don't have an answer.
Really good video. 👍
Thank you! 👍
Can you schedule the Vikeri trail camera to only shoot at night? I'm wanting to see what type of wildlife I have checking out my chicken coop but I don't want to record in the daytime when the chickens are out. Thanks for the video, loved it!
Thanks....From Costa Rica
Sounds much nicer than Northern Ohio! 🍻
Great review. I do have a few Tactacam cell cameras, but I have 8 vikeris that haul most of the load for me as far as data collection. I just purchased some of the newer 4K vikeris and am excited to see how they perform. 1 idea is to wrap the black base that sits against the tree with camo duct tape. I also use cable locks with these vikeris on Public land. It’s a little tight but you can pull the cable locks through. Good luck this fall.

Can’t beat some of those deals
No doubt!
Was the Wosoda the no glow cam? Does it take standard SD?
Liked your video as I have similar priority with limited funds to cover more area per dollar. Jumped on line to get the vikeri, but, it became a no go for me due to the use of the micro sd card. Tried one of those, way to tedious changing them out in the “bush” when the weather deteriorates. Moved to your #2, The wosada, took some time to locate the one you featured without a model #. It appears to be the G 300?
Ease of pro gaming is a big deal for me. The switching from on to off to set and changing up the various programs while out and about can be very tedious on certain cameras. So, if I might suggest you add model numbers and show/describe the ease or lack thereof with the controls, that would be very helpful, thanks
That is a great suggestion for future videos. Thank you for the recommendation. Also, you are not the first to mention your dislike for the micro sd cards. I definitely understand but it hasn't been a deterrent for me yet.
Great video Aaron. Do you have any experience with the lower-end models from Stealth Cam? Only asking because I have cabelas points to burn… enough to buy one good one or three cheap ones! 🤣
I haven’t ran too many regular stealth cams and the ones I did were garbage. Not even sure what happened to mine. I’ve got a few of the fusion X cell cams and like them despite what their reviews on cabelas say. I think a lot of cell cams get bad reviews from all the old people who buy them and can’t figure out how to activate it properly 🤣 I’d probably buy 1 cell cam over 3 regular cam these days but just depends how many cameras you have already.
I had one Stealth Cam and it was trash
I’m still rocking the Camparks or whatever they change the name to. I’m up to 14 of them now. Half of those have 3 years on them!
They are awesome cams. That’s what the Voopeaks are called now. Same exact cam. I’m up to a half dozen and have yet to have one crap out on me.
@@NextStepOutdoors nice! Great video too
I appreciate the feedback! Glad someone likes them! 🤣
What Campark model do you recommend? I have heard great things about Campark
Great video! I just wanted to say that the couple of cameras I’ve bought from KF Concepts looks super similar to the Vikeri cam you have in the vid. So I wonder if Vikeri is the manufacturer. (And I’m super impressed with the KF concept one).
I need to buy some more cams so I’m picking up some Vikeri (they look different than yours) to try out.
Thanks I’ll have to check those out!
Great video as always! Keep it up.
Thanks Connor! Appreciate the comment!
😂 got me on the antler shed
11:38 ... The *Vikeri* is suppose to have
4k video and 32MP Camera Pictures
The Hawkray Trail Camera offers excellent value, good photo and video quality during the day, but night photos lack depth, and the range is limited. The micro card insertion from the bottom is inconvenient for swapping. Great video BTW!!!!
Thank you! I agree about the bottom swapping of the micro sd. Not a huge deterrent for me but still inconvenient like you said.
What Campark model do you recommend? I have heard great things about Campark
I think the t20 is the one I’ve ran the most and they are solid.
hey guy i'm actually not a hunter but i do like venison, but i'm looking for one of these cameras for my property, so thanks for the video had no idea which ones to consider, by the way where are you located with all that wild life, must be great!
Hey dude appreciate the comment! That’s cool that you still like venison despite not being a hunter. Hope you get some cool animal pics on whatever cam you went with!
Were all of these cameras set on your new lease property? It looks like a really cool piece for sure!
Most of these were behind my house and a couple were down the road a few miles
Liked your video,,the number one thing that I consider when picking out a trail camera is how loud and clear the audio is ,,the louder and clearer it is the better I like them , I never use the pictures mode and I like for a camera to have the capability to make long videos, like five minutes, the only cameras I have found that fit my preferences are guardpro A-3-S and some of them have low volume but I send those back ,,which of those cameras you tested have the loudest volume?
That’s a really good question and one I can’t answer. It seems like all trail cams, even the flag ship main brands vary so much in audio performance. I was just thinking about this recently as I was watching some bucks fight RIGHT in front of a brand new Tactacam and you can’t hear anything.
@@NextStepOutdoors that guardpro A-3-S has a and is advertised with an advanced microphone,,in 2019,2020 they would record whole conversations at two hundred yards ,,heard my neighbor tell his wife she got the wrong tool and he was in a metal building,,,the new ones that are coming out are much more filtered for wind noise and so they don’t do as well as they did a few years ago
Do any of this cameras do put password in
Got a Vikeri 4K cam. POS. It would not take pics past 8 feet or so. In test mode it lights up to about 20 feet but in operation it won't go past 8 or so.
The same one in this video? I've bought a few more since and they've all been doing awesome still.
Vikeri make many models.... which one is your choice???
The one linked in the description.
bro, can you record continuously without having to wait for movement to pass in front of the camera?
There is a timelapse feature that allows you to take pictures on a set frequency between specific times of the day. None of them have continuous video mode though. It would drain the batteries pretty quickly I'm sure. What are you looking to do with the camera?
My only knock on the Vikeri trail camera (no glow is awesome) would be the micro SD card. My pick would be the one that's still taking day/night pics 5 years from now. I am done with $100+ trail cameras. The market is saturated with unproven models. Your top 3 picks seem to be a good option/value for anyone to explore. The Voopeak seems to be the most like your top pick (3 similar models) from 2 years ago. I am still searching for the "Holy Grail" of trail cameras! Are all three of those models still working 2 years later?
Yeah, I’m not a huge fan of micro sd cards but it’s really not that big of an inconvenience. The only time it bugs me is when I bring a normal size sd card out to swap and forget that it’s a micro so need to come back. All 4 from the previous vid are still working and in the woods. Even the one that I thought sucked. It still sucks but some intel is better then none.
The single biggest thing holding me back from buying some cams in the micro sd, I don’t want to have to cater to that. @drift I’m also looking for the holy grail of cams, I run about 40 now of various common names in the trail cam space, regardless of price ($30-$110) they all piss me off to some degree. I would say the gap between a $40 to $60 cam to those that are $100 to $120 is tiny. Any cams you’ve found you like the most?
@@djw195 Even though I have been an avid bow hunter since 1986, I only started using trail cameras about 5 years ago. This is a brief summary of my limited experiences -
2 Tasco 8MP - didn't last beyond two seasons. Tried all the recommended on line tricks (clean battery tray terminals), but they all died (even with new tested batteries) eventually.
1 Tasco 10MP - same story & even a bit worse.
2 Browning Dark Ops models (bought on sale items) - Brand recommended by a friend, but one stopped taking night pics last year, Browning gave me a replacement camera for free after sending mine in. The 2nd model seems to be stuck in multi-shot mode, and I cannot get it to change.
3 Browning Command Ops ($79 cameras) - 2 have been working quite well, but poor design for winter/snow. Snow will build up on the sensor ledge and block the camera lens. One eats batteries at such a rate it has become useless to have out any more.
1 Wosports Mini - same company as the Wosoda above I believe. Exact same menu as a Tasco 12MP (except you have the choice of 2MP or 16MP pics on the Wosports). Data strips are really hard to read (very small print) on most pics, but it works!
1 Tasco 12MP - Worsports & newer Tasco pics will not open on Mac software . Chromebook & PC is fine.
I was having issues with Browning & older Tasco cameras last year, & I bought the newer Tasco & Wosports as cheap experiment models & replacements for non-working camera spots. Are any of these the "Holy Grail" of trail cameras? No!
My experience is very limited, & I would love to keep it that way by finding an affordable camera that takes nice day/night pics, has good battery life, and works beyond one or two years. I don't even leave my cameras out all year.
I can't stand the micro SD card. I am in the woods, either wearing gloves or my fingers are cold and i can not grab them. Too small and if they fall, finding them in the leaves is a killer. And they put it on the bottom so it is even easier to drop. You might tell, i have had a few cameras. I would get the Wosoda just for the full size SD card
@@jaytall1 If you like the features of his number 1 pick, I would consider the GardePro A3. The GardePro A3 is priced about the same & uses a standard size SD card. His 2nd & 3rd picks are cheaper, however. I have his third pick now, but I am not crazy about the buttons on it. If it works for an extended period of time, I can overlook that, however. His second pick may be the best option.
Do any of these cameras work of of my house Wifi, like to get photos sent to my phone without paying monthly. And for security?
These cameras, you will have to manually pull the SD card out of them and review on a laptop or computer. I've caught several people trespassing with them. The only downside is that you do not know in real time, only after you check them.
I hunt nothing but public land and I'm a new to using a game camera! I also don't know much about tech stuff or computers! I'm wanting a non cellular camera that can use a full size sd card,shows battery level, basic setup, works descent and something I don't have a lot of money in,as good chance it will be taken or stolen! I'm not sure how to connect a sd card to my android cell phone either or what my best option to see the pictures and save them and share with my hunting buddies! Battery level indicator isn't a deal breaker but would be nice! I have read some about using a card reader on my android cell phone but not knowing much about tech stuff they have me a little nervous about messing my cell phone up trying to view the sd card! Also I read where some of the card readers connectors aren't long enough to connect good if you have a case on your cell phone! I liked the video of the 5 cheap non cellar game cameras you posted but don't want a cellular or the micro sd card cameras! I really would like to try a camera or two this year that isn't cellular! Our Rural King here is offering a Muddy T100 on sale now but not seeing good reviews on them! I'm mostly confused on how to read the sd cards on my phone! Are wireless and cellular the same thing with game cameras? Thanks
Excellent video; However, I do wish you'd included model numbers. (Maybe it was in the link I didn't see)
has anyone ever gotten a highwild trail camera to turn on? I've had mine replaced 4 times and in the case of all five, they were dead on arrival. Is that how they are designed? are they just pretty battery holders? Im about to take this one apart to see if it even has a camera in it because i suspect it's just a useless battery case
Send me a link to it. Idk which one you are talking about.
I just bought the Vikeri Trail cam shown in this video. It works alright, but I am having a small issue I was wondering if you know anything about. I have the camera set to take 20 second videos with a 10 second lapse between. The first video it captured was 20 seconds, but all the rest of the 15 clips were only 2 to 7 seconds each. Some even cut off after 2 or 3 seconds even though there was action in the frame. Is this normal? Thanks
I would try new batteries, as well as format the sd card. It shouldn’t be doing that. Let me know if that works. Really curious.
@@NextStepOutdoors Thanks for the suggestions. I have bought eight new batteries, formatted the card, and reduced the video quality from the highest setting to 1080. I'll put it out again and see if that helps.
@@NextStepOutdoors The new batteries solved the problem. I am using the camera to identify and remove (humanely) a feral cat population in my townhouse complex. Last night the camera captured 30 videos, all of them were 20 seconds long as they were supposed to be. I am very pleased with this trail camera.
My problem is with the programming on my Hawkray trail camera. The manual is woefully hard to understand. There is no real step-by-step instruction on how to program it with the keyboard. The key functions are not clear to me. The first two times we took down the camera, we did have good video. The third time we wanted to see the videos, there was nothing recorded at all. I don't know what I missed in getting it set up that third time. I'm so confused.
I’m not sure how to best help you. Next time I’m in the woods I’ll grab my hawkray and maybe I’ll be able to assist. There generally aren’t very many options to change. Time, date, photo or video, and then how long of a delay after it takes a picture.
How long do batteries last?
Depends on a lot of factors like how frequent the camera triggers and if you have it on video or picture mode. If it’s on a bait pile and you have it set to video mode where the flash is on for 15 seconds at a time it’ll last a lot shorter than if it’s on camera mode just on a trail catching a few deer a day. With lithium batteries I’d expect to get an entire hunting season out of them if you just have it on a trail or field edge. Maybe shorter if you plan to set it over bait.
Moutlrie® 26 MP Trail Camera is this one better you think
It is probably comparable but more expensive...
Technology is amazing. Imagine your grandpa or great grandpa seeing this back in their day. Then imagine hearing grandpa say "that doe looks blurry". 😂.
It is incredible. Curious to see what other advancements they make. I’m sure eventually there will need to be legislation instated to keep things fair chase. I know a lot of people already disagree with the use of cell cams etc.
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE! I want to buy a trail cam but I haven't figured out which one to buy and I've been looking at them for the past month! I thought the E6 was the way to go because it's got everything I need... I need Bluetooth so I can put pictures directly from the camera onto my phone cuz I don't use a computer... I'm kind of lost as far as if I need Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. I thought Bluetooth is what I needed in order to hook it to my phone and transfer pictures / videos. Also has to have time lapse mode, built in screen, clear pictures day and night without a visible flash at night time and clear audio, I don't know if this is available but I would like to be able to control it from my phone if I'm in range and make it record when I tell it to whether it be a picture or video/audio that would be nice. I'm going to probably end up using it mostly for security/surveillance type of applications. I want to make sure it take the picture at the right time to get whatever it is in screen... I watched and I saw someone said the Gu
gardepro E8 constantly was taking pictures where you wouldn't see what was tripping it and on top of that it was extremely grainy blurry pictures if it was up close and they said the E6 was it not blurry up-close as well as didn't miss what it was supposed to take the picture of and a few other things but it seemed like the E6 was much better than the E8. Also it has to be under a hundred bucks preferably closer to 80 or below. I saw the E6 on Amazon for like a hundred bucks and then it had a coupon attached to it where would come out to be around 70 or $80. Anybody who could help me figure out which one I should buy I'd highly appreciate it! I really want to order it and get it ASAP I wanted it like 2 weeks ago but I don't want to get the wrong one
I’d go with the Vikeri that is linked in the description of this video. You can either review the pics or videos right on the camera itself or pick up one of these so you can plug the sd card into your phone to review.

It seems the Cam with the high pitch sound still worked. None of the animals seemed bothered by it.
Do they work without internet conection?
Yes they do
anyone no if any of these are lockable with a cable?
They all lock to the tree but the doors are not python lock compatible.
8:00 "say cheese" "cheeeeeeeeese!"
😬😬😬
The vikeri seemed comparable to my no glow brownings. Are you planning to do any long term reviews with these? It would be nice to have a gauge on battery life, longevity, and if any weird things happen over time.
I agree they are close with the other no glow cams I’ve used too. Definitely going to do an update after a while. Battery life was solid but it’s one of those things that’s hard to quantify because it varies greatly based on if you have it on a bait pile or just on a trail, audio or video, etc.
@@NextStepOutdoors yep I hear ya on the battery life front, it seems like most cams set on photo that are on a trail or scrape can last at least months. Battery life matters to me a lot because I do a lot of long term sets where I might hang them in may or June before the bugs come out. Nonetheless very impressed with the vikeri, high chance I’ll get those rather than browning in the future, keep us updated great work
Couldn’t agree more. I like to be able to soak cams for a whole season. Under normal circumstances, most cams will last the whole season with lithium batteries nowadays which is nice. Even a lot of the ones that only use 4 AA batteries instead of the usual 8. It’s usually a branch that falls down in front of it and blows around 3 months in that gets me 🤣
I purchase a cheap amazon trial cam (not one in your review), but I set it up and it takes a ton of pics with nothing in them. It will take 100+ pics in a matter of hours. I've adjusted the PIR to medium and I still get the same results. Do you have any words of wisdom to solve this issue. TIA.
I’d try new batteries or formatting your SD card but otherwise, send it back if you can.
Great job! I love the time and examples that you showed. 2 Dumb Ass approved
Thanks fellas!
Model #s would be helpful.
The links to the cams are down below in the description.
Harvesting a mature buck. I wish I could tell the buck. Amen.
I’ll tell the buck
We ended up exchanging this model for the slimmer version ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx0jZ_lGlDVJhDnmagEU8gn47cmfPNlLQU because it was too wide for the only door trim area that made sense to mount it on. However, we should have just noted the dimensions prior to purchasing. Otherwise, we love the doorbell. It works perfectly, and the video is very clear, even at night.

How high can a trail Cam be set, so that it won't be stolen if people are constantly crossing your property.
but what I'd like to know is is it 'real time'???
Can you plug into this device, from your phone or pc and get real time activity, or is it all just recorded for play at later date?
Come one folks, ask the right questions!
I need a good cheap camera for my property im not always at! Theres no internet there! I believe someone is taking things from the back! Any ideas?
Sorry to hear that. I think any of these would serve you well and catch and thieves in the act.

Hi does the vikery cam have WiFi and able to view from your phone via app? Thankyou
Unfortunately not. You will have to pull the card and view it on a laptop or computer. They also make adapters to view it on your phone.
@@NextStepOutdoors
Ok thankyou for the quick reply. So confused at what to get as there are so many out there 🤯
Nice comparison of the cameras advertised features, but you never showed if the cameras actually performed as advertised. As a newbie shopper, I have already returned 2 cameras because of their total failure to meet the package specs for trigger distance. I have not seen one UA-camr check this in a camera review. I would think really testing trail cameras to what is advertised on the box would bring more subscribers than just talking about the features on the box and showing some pretty pictures.
i want to use these for home security without internet.
They work well for that

Question: is it silent?

Hello Aaron . I know nothing about trail cams. your videos show AA batteries but your reviews mention nothing about the battery life. please elaborate. Thank you all of the info on these camera was very informative except the battery life,
I could really care the less about hunting.
I want one of these to place in my vehicle, that will work remotely outside the normal range of wifi.
That way can observe vehicle while inside of house/apartment at night to see what's going on around it.
I would never want the camera that you say is number one. For two reasons. First it has a mini SD Card which are a pain in the neck because they're so small. They're easy to lose for a miriad of reasons, and you have to buy the adapter to plug the mini SD card into. Secondly, the small mini card inserts into the bottom of the camera and not the side of the camera which makes it difficult to find the insert slot. In the dark, in the cold and even on a decent day a mini card inserted up into the bottom of the camera is a pain in the a**!
Everyone has their own preference. I don't see the micro sd cards as a hindrance. They all come with the adapter when you buy them so its not something you need to buy separately. The bottom part doesn't bother me either. I have several different cams that have the sd/micro sd slot on the bottom and I've never lost a card or struggled to swap them out.
The voopeak cam is a knockoff of the campark T20
Yeah I don’t quite understand it. Even when I go to my old orders from the Camparks and click order again, it routes me to voopeak so either they changed their name or the same manufacturer is selling them under a different name? Either way you are right it’s the identical cam.
@@NextStepOutdoors the cam park website is still all campark
The Guardepro e5 is AMAZING for its price! I got 3 of them on Amazon at $34 and they’ve done amazing so far. The Hawkray mini was a huge disappointment, the nighttime photos didn’t work half the time, batteries don’t last long at all, and stopped working after its 3rd use 🤦♂️ all my other cameras like Alpha cam, izeeker, Guardepro, and browning are 1000x better
The vikeri is absolute garbage. Or at least mine is. I ordered it after watching this video and I got the vikeri on sale or so I thought I was getting a deal. Watched this video Sunday, ordered the vikeri and Amazon delivered it the next morning at 5am. Grabbed it, set it up and mounted it. Went today to check the cam and the dam buttons are the major Achilles heel for this camera. The buttons especially the down button share functions with the other buttons. I could press the down button through the menu and if I pressed the button 10 times, of the presses 7 of them acted like the Ok button. Went on Amazon and actually read the reviews for this unit and realized I am not the only one having the issues. I should have read the reviews first. The mount that came with it is also crap. Do yourself a favor and buy a name brand unit and you will have a better experience. Buy once cry once.
Man that bums me out to hear that. Sorry you experienced that. My goal isn't to mislead anyone, I just share what I discover with the stuff that I test. All of the cams I tested are all still rocking in the field though.
Funny how the title says 2024, yet it was uploaded two years ago. You must have predicted the future and still no reply to my previous comment. 🙄
What was your other question?
@NextStepOutdoors I posted it 7 months ago. I asked how long do the batteries generally last on these cameras? Can you use rechargeable AAA batteries in them? And can you power them with a power bank?
Battery life depends on a lot of factors like whether you have it set to video or picture mode, as well as how frequently the camera is triggered. I typically run lithium AA batteries though and they will list up to a year in most cases. I believe you could use rechargeable AA batteries but I've never explored that option. Most are able to run off of a 12v battery too but not a power bank.
@@NextStepOutdoors ah OK. Thanks for the information, that's really helpful.
@@MrBooojangles the reason I updated this title was because these cameras are all still super relevant FYI
So there are coyotes on the property and that means you must shoot them? Any particular reason? Is it just that you have to shoot animals that are around? I don't get it. I eat meat, so I get hunting deer. (responsibly). but to hunt just because a creature is present doesn't make sense. The camera analysis is good and helpful though.
Coyotes are predators and they kill a lot of fawns and turkeys. Clearly, there are tons of deer and turkeys where this was so I’d be less inclined to do anything about the coyotes but if I started to notice a lot of fawn carcasses, etc., I’d much rather help reduce some of the coyote numbers to give the deer and other animals a better chance to flourish. I can promise you that the death that I bring to the animals I hunt is much more humane than what happens in nature. Thanks for posing the question. We are not just heartless killers trying to end any animal we see. (Most) hunters have a deep respect and appreciation for all animals, way beyond what most non hunters can even fathom.
Using visual collection intelligence against these defenceless animals? You’re coming back as a dear, raccoon and turkey in your next lives buddy.
It’s called feeding your family buddy
LMAO
Thanks for the review, very helpfull. I feel sorry that you like to shoot and kill these beautyful animals.
They feed me and my family. I agree though, they are beautiful.
I don't believe in animal hunting for sport it is senseless
It is also how I feed my family some of the meat possible. If you’d rather your meat be raised and slaughtered for you after being pumped full of hormones and chemicals tho, more power to ya.
