The media could not be loaded. Don’t expect to make great large prints for your walls with this inexpensive trail camera. I use it mainly in video mode to track animal pests around my garden and my house and it is great for that. Last year the woodchucks were getting through my vegetable garden fence and eating my strawberries just before they got ripe. They would not go in my trap and I did not know how they got through the fence. Trail camera to the rescue! I soon discovered where they got under the fence and put my trap there and eventually caught them all. See the video. Similar story with mice that we heard chewing inside the walls of our house. I set out the traps baited with peanut butter and cheese and didn’t catch any. Then I set up the trail cameras and saw them running around the traps set along the wall! So I needed better bait. I put a few drops of almond extract over the existing bait and caught 3 of them that night. It is fun to see what animals come to carrion. A dead deer on our property attracted fox, coyotes, eagles, owls, opossums, racoons, and vultures. Night vision works fine for identification. Video high resolution mode works best for these cameras. They trigger very well on animals, even a small mouse 10 feet from the camera or a squirrel 50 feet away. The main problem is if there are wind-blown bushes or trees in the near field of view, the camera triggers too often. It still doesn’t fill up a 32 GB memory card, but takes your time looking through all the videos for one you are interested in. To speed-watch through the videos in my windows computer, I first select all (ctrl-A) then right click on the top one and select Play to view in Windows Media Player. If I don’t see an animal in the first second or two, I click on Next. With a card reader on an iPhone, you can swipe to the next one to quickly look for good ones. Every time I put back the memory card, I format to erase the card as follows: Insert it with camera off, turn to aim mode, click OK 11 times, press arrow key to format “yes”, press ok, wait for it, then turn on, close the door, and aim. Usually there is not a tree or post in the right place to strap up the camera, and it is very hard to get it aimed that way. Therefore, I made some quick camera stands as shown in the photo. The base is painted 16x16 inch plywood and the 32 inch metal conduit pipe is placed into a hole in a piece of 2x4 screwed to the plywood, with a drywall screw from the side to anchor it in place. The brick keeps it from blowing over in the wind. The top of the pipe has a dowel pressed into it with a hole for the ball mount provided with the camera. I also made a magnetic mount for my van to use when camping. After three years of use one of the cameras’ processor froze up. I reported this to wosports.com and they sent me a replacement. Very good customer service. Read more
I had a camera go bad no power. I contacted Wosports to see what they could do. It was out of warranty, they decided to send me another camera. The camera takes very good pictures easy to use very good motion detection. Super good camera. Thank You Read more
Decent trail cams. Picture quality is good. There’s some trial and error getting the aim right. A lot of times the video with start until the critter is in the middle of the screen. Not sure if I would buy the same ones again but they serve the purpose Read more
These work exactly as expected. Inexpensive camera that gives you acceptable picture and video quality. It's a trail camera, not a Hollywood movie. Yes, the pictures and videos are not super quality, but they are perfect for the fact that it's a trail camera. Highly recommend. Read more
Received cameras for Christmas in 2023. I’ve been using them regularly since then. Unfortunately a couple of weeks ago I went to change my SD cards I discovered one of the cameras wouldn’t turn on. Thinking it was dead batteries, I changed the batteries and that did not solve the issue. Camera still wouldn’t turn on. Not knowing what was wrong I decided to reach out to the Wosoda customer service team! The representative that responded to me was extremely helpful! I sent a video of the problem and although I was outside of the warranty period, they still offered to send me a replacement camera, free of charge! Excellent customer service!! Read more
(UPDATE). Vendor went above and beyond to contact me directly in regards to my complaint. I’m doing so they provided an upgraded version free of cost. The upgraded version is far superior on all fronts. I must admit, I have only been using the new one for a few weeks. Given this, I will provide an additional review on the updated version in one years time. The IR works well to about 40 yds with decent clarity. You can still view and determine what a critter is well beyond that also though the image becomes granulated. That’s normal. Takes 8 AA batteries. This is relevant because batteries are not cheap, additionally the quality of battery will have a major impact on the device and it’s effectiveness or longevity in colder regions. The annoying problem- the Date/Time stamp is obnoxious. The real problem- the battery compartment does not effectively seal against moisture. The unprecedented rate at which the spring contacts has rusted to the point of failure and detachment is a serious issue. One camera has become completely unusable, the second is on its way out the door. There isn’t a reasonable method to remove and replace the contacts, and their condition is worse than expected assuming you’ve unintentionally trapped humid air within the compartment upon sealing it. The price is tempting. This product is perfect for monitoring a sizeable property, it’s entrences, or it’s large/small game provided you have short term goals. However, a lazy man works twice and a sucker spends twice as much-I wouldn’t put any long term faith into this product. Read more
I am not a fan of the cheap display but the instructions help to understand it. I like the battery set up, makes it easy to swap them out. The pictures are good and they dont take anytime to load when going through the pictures. I have only had them about a month and checked the pictures a dozen or more times with no issues. I wish I could set up pictures and videos but it is one or the other with this camera. I dont hate it but I doubt I would buy these again, these cheaper cameras seem to only last a year or two and I go cheap because I hunt state land where I have had cameras stolen so that is why I choose them spend less on them.
