Comments BEFORE you buy a Trail Camera: Truths vs Misleading Advertising! What to look for in a good Game Cam

I have had zero luck with any cam that uses C-cell batteries, rechargeable or not AA's on my decade old Simmons or U-way take shots to minus 40 below F Comment from : HeronPoint 2021

Trail cams are constantly repackaged by name but the inside is the same I can't even FIND Simmons any more, the best bang for the buck My U-Way has software no longer serviced I just junked a couple of brand but haven't tried any Browning as of yet Quiet year anyway but I like to PROVE off leash dogs to their owner when I bring them a dead chicken Comment from : HeronPoint 2021

On the megapixel comparison's, it doesn't seem like a fair comparison one's at a longer distance without sound, the other's were up close with a lot of sound Comment from : Gregory Jones

Megapixel has no effect on video MP effects still images Videoed you need to compare video resolution Comment from : Gramps Ramblings

Great and easy product to set up! Comment from : Amara Amar

Great video, my friend Comment from : Corey Mcdaniel

Great informative video! Thanks Comment from : Csaba Kereszturi

Until you place cameras side by side, taking photos or videos in the same conditions, your comparisons are worthless An example is the comparison of the 16 megapixel, as being better Again, the comparing videos were not shot in the same area; the 16 megapixel was placed without dense ground cover in front Comment from : George Ripley

Good informative video Actual mp vs interpolated mp's Been there done that One point that I would like to make is customer service Browning has/is my go to brand because they have been the most responsive to replacing/fixing a cam Other brands not so much Invisible ir940 nmworks best for public land filming Sadly even back in the woods you get the occasional yahoo/dickhead that can't respect others property Having the ability to run a cable through the cam is a must and generally helps However, there are thieves that will carry cable cutters 👍 Comment from : Robktellwild

Would be great to know which video came from which camera Comment from : Austin Workman

850 or 940 what? Inches? Comment from : Skysurfer

I need to get recognizable video of a mail thief checking my mailbox from about 40 feet away I suppose a narrow FOV would be best in that case, since the target area is known in advance Ideally, battery life should be 3-7 days Comment from : snaplash

Good info, I found the information on the boxes are accurate as well Comment from : Raised in Alaska

Use it as a servalance Comment from : James 370

Trigger speed is important for narrower field of view cameras On a wide angkr camera a slower trigger speed isn't a problem because the field of view is really wide However, on a camera with a narrow filed of view you want a faster trigger speed so the animal doesn't move completely past the camera before it triggers Comment from : That Which Was From the Beginning

You sound like a hysterical woman Slow down, talk like a man Comment from : Munchi Mike

So MP is for only pictures Video resolution is for videos 42 MP is for the pictures not video You are comparing apples to oranges 😂 Comment from : Kyle Tyre

Hi, I love your videos I am new to trail cameras, and I am having a hard time finding the right one for what I need Do you know which cellular trail camera I could have send a picture to my phone every 30 minutes without motion? Even better if I could only have it do this during certain times of the day Thank you! Comment from : John Nutt

Wish I knew what I’m doing wrong I’m on my second trail cam, and I couldn’t get either one to take any pics! Read all the directions, went on YouTube and watched setup videos, still won’t work Guess I’ll just return it again, and give up on having one… Comment from : Peter Mashak

I'm wanting a camera to setup for capturing bullet impacts on a target from 600 out to 1000 yards, needs to be able to be programmed with a timer delay to start and stop video, would a game camera work? Comment from : Skunk Works Rifle 2

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for Amazing reviews! Thank you so much! Comment from : Tennesseetexan

For a Real comparison, you need to place Both cameras side-by-side shooting the same pictures at the same time in the same lighting Otherwise, the comparisons are worthless Comment from : Chezler Q

Thank you for your informative video I have had the misfortune to purchase CamPark T-100 with solar battery pack They both leaked rainwater and stopped working the first winter Do you have any recommendations for brands that are weather tight? Comment from : dontaylor1

Avoid the "STEALTH CAM" brand They sent me four replacements due to defects The last one does not measure up to ANY of the other brands I use Comment from : Buck Fever In The Gulch

I would have appreciated this video a lot more if you had shown how to play back the recorded videos Comment from : Shrine Clown

Many of these cams use 12MP & sometimes 16MP sensors and simply upscale the images It makes no difference the actual image resolution, but give the manufacturers the ability to boats about higher megapixel images Of 6 different models, across 4 manufacturers EVERY one had either a 12MP or 16MP sensor, but upscaled the images to claim a higher megapixel count All of the solar-powered Campark models used 12MP sensors, yet they claim resolutions up to 48MP - which is a blatant lie Comment from : Fred Needel

I bought a NEXCAM Wildlife Camera 16MP 1080P Mini Trail Camera from off Amazon It was the first trail camera I bought and it's just about useless, I tried for days to get it working with it showing pictures once and I couldn't connect it to the computer again It wouldn't take pictures and drained the batteries in less than 1 hour of trying to use video mode This has put me off trail camera completely, I'm not the most tech savi person but this was so hard to set up, I gave up in the end and sent it back to Amazon Comment from : Charles Foreman

What about Bushnell Core DS 4K ? Comment from : Roberto Costantini

Great stuff thank you Comment from : Aidan Harvey

Could you give me a recommendation please Comment from : Jason Pocklington

The best judge for megapixels is when you zoom in on the pictures Comment from : seniorchief48

So which one of those four on your table was the best the tall yellow box if so what was that one Comment from : TruthSlayer1

The advertised megapixels is blatantly deceptive Sounds like a great opportunity for a class action lawsuit for any lawyers out there with a little time on their hands Comment from : davidhroberts

Dave enjoyed your video again Been looking for 2-3 more but on public land so not looking at 3 digit price Wifi is not bad in hunting season but summer and early fall very iffy Just picking your mind on a couple or so, you have more experience than I do on these Any decent cams come to mind ? Thanks for any help Comment from : Carl

Great review! Can ju tell me for you soo far what’s the best camera you have that can take videos and photos? Comment from : Croatia Hunter

Hi I really liked your videobrI am a rodent exterminator of rats and mousebrI am looking for a caméra, that performs very well on the dark, I want to put it in my clients home and see how the rodent reacts to my trappesbrSo it should be small camera, that Connect to my clients wifi, that I can have access to the videos from my home in order to prepare a solution in advance before returning to my client house againbrIn your experience, do you have any particular suggestion of which camera would make a good job?brThank you Comment from : Cesar Estrada

G'day!brThanks very much for making this video matebrIn the market for one here in Australia and I appreciate the info to help me be more informed on my choicesbrbrAll the bestbrDaz Comment from : My Aussie Garden & Kitchen

Do any work for up close bird watching? Comment from : Geri C

So what is ur recommendation on low megapixals and 850 and wide lens, trail cam ? Can you suggest a couple for me ? :) Comment from : nicolew

Get to the point 🤦‍♂️ Comment from : Gregory Taylor

Awesome video! When it comes to performance, picture quality, reliability and monthly price I really like stealth cam and muddys cell cams You can find both on sale often too! I currently have 20 and maybe be up to 24 by the summer Comment from : Dual Threat Outdoors

very beautiful video 👍 i think it depends a lot on which animals you want to shoot, for me the trigger speed is the most important feature hunting carnivores often just scurry by in the picture 04 seconds can be too late where most cameras with 04 sec indication rather 1-2 sec need Comment from : Wilde Natur in NRW

Thanks Hunting Farmer! : ) Comment from : Fran Osborn Blaschke

illuminati confirmed orange t shirt and his diamond hand signs constantly what a dirt bag Comment from : JMS

I believe the brand of the camera may make a difference in picture quality Meaning a Browning at 14 megapixel may have a better picture quality than a less known brand with 20 megapixels True or not? Comment from : Bo Gaudette

I'm looking to upgrade my trailcam for a 2022 browning one Anyone have some advice on what model to buy? It needs to have the possibility to work on rechargeable batteries, no glow illumination, and I also really like the feature of the hp5 that that it continues to record while the animal is moving in front of the camerabrIf you have other trail cam from other brand to recommend, please let me knowbrThanks Comment from : A Wild Life

Great video thanks now I truly what I am looking for Comment from : Eds Metal Detecting

Never judge by megapixels A 10 Mp sensor might be the best of all I judge by 2 things above all: How long is the warranty and how do they respond to warranty claims Comment from : Yoo Hooo

Thank you for the info As a photographer I have an understanding of MP I told my husband I am looking to eventually get the 61mp Sony That has a price tag of $3500 So when game camera companies are telling their potential buyers they have 30+ mp images for $100 plus, is just wrong My husband recently bought one that was 4K and claimed higher image quality and had less quality overall and dependability than our older and small MP's ones did Comment from : Shay Standard Photography

The problem with your test is that you need to place both cameras in the same viewing plane that has the same lighting and environmental conditions Comment from : LarryAnika

Thanks for video Comment from : PERR MYINT

Love what you said about Mega Pixel My 8 MP tascos take far better footage than some in the 30's Comment from : Joel Aubrey

Great video Perhaps have you done one on cellular trail cams? Comment from : Tennessee Jeff

Really helpful video I've been looking for a trail camera for quite a while and have been lost in all the claimed facts and figures vs review comments In your opinion what would be the best trail camera for a beginner to purchase (for less than $100)? Thanks for sharing your awesome video 🙂👍 Comment from : Greeklish Outdoors

have you ever noticed a difference in camera performance from using regular batteries as opposed to lithium or is that strictly a longevity issue? Comment from : Mark Juratich

As someone who is getting a camera for the first time you saved me a lot of trouble LOTS of good infomation Comment from : Cynthia Farshore

Any recommendations on cell trail camera That some of my property don’t pick up cell service Thank you in advance Comment from : Michael Francis

Why are the comparison videos not being tested in the same location under the same lighting/environmental conditions? Comment from : m4570d0n

My Reolink was freezing up The company support was incredible Through process they discovered that my SIM card was faulty it’s all good now, can’t rave enough about the Reolink PT Comment from : McMuskie

Hi we have a Ceyomur CY50 The video is going too fast Can you tell me how to slow this down, thank you Comment from : Josephine Humphrys

Thanks great infor ,I use mine for watching for rats to see if there eating the dough balls I put out to kill them , Comment from : Marie Sheppard

Most cunts don't know about Camera Image Sensors, that is what to look for Comment from : Jo Park

We got a delta base 24mp yesterday an has been irritating since takin it out of the package ,the website is a pain in the butt we had a selesman talk it up but come to find out he fibbed alot Comment from : FKNSENDIT

Thank you sir for making this very helpful video!brI had a trail cam in my apartment about a decade ago just to have some fun to see if there might be some strange paranormal stuff going on and, of course, it was a camera with the inferred light And so, the curious thing I saw were these white orbs floating and sometimes shooting around It was pretty creepy but I also saw some videos that others had made and those also and the mysterious orbs in them In one of my recordings there was like a big chunk of white stuff that feel down towards the floor Anyway, I'm curious if you've ever set up a trail cam in your residence and had it happen to you as well? Also, do you have any idea what's going on with said phenomena? brThanks for your time and keep up the great work! Comment from : Michael Melling

very interesting I learned a lot Thank you for the work and for sharing Comment from : Gene Ballay

Need some help setting up my browning cell please Comment from : Wild Forager

That might be the first video of a black panther ever Comment from : SavageShiftz

What camera was used for the turkey video? Comment from : Justin Turdeau

love my browning trail cams and great customer service Comment from : BRETT BAXTER

Thank you for that information I learned a lot from this video about what to look for in a trailcam My purpose is to find the entry points of one particular unwanted trespasser animal is getting into my property despite fencing and other measures I know area it appears from and where it runs to when I chase it but I don't know exact breach where it is getting in so that is why I want to set up some sort of device to hopefully catch a glimpse of where it is coming in so that I can try to find a solution to block the entry point Comment from : Gardener-Maker Maggie

It is really the bit-rate that videos are recorded at that determines the quality given similar MP sensors Low bit rate means smaller file size and grainier video even with the best sensors I use 4k a lot in close-up and with a bit rate in the 20 to 30 kbsbrRange it's fantastic, but some cameras record below 10 and it looks grainy Cellular trail cams in particular record at low bit rates to keep file sizes low for transmitting via 4G Just like when you make your videos for your You Tube channel - the higher the bit rate you save it at - the larger the file size and the better the quality Comment from : MyBackyardBirding

Thank you! Finally some real information that cuts through all the crap! Comment from : Old52Guy

Those video comparisons were really cool but i wish i knew what video was from what camera Comment from : K rider

What # is BLACK LIGHT, would 940 do the same? Comment from : stuart macdonald

I can set the migapixel 8 16and 26 and I got it on 8 and is perfect Comment from : ken leger

Bought the cheapest one 150 with tax and they give me 3 months free wildgame incounter been in the wood since May never had problems even the signal is always 4 bar Comment from : ken leger

Which trailcam under 80$ do you recomend? Thanks for the videos, they're great! Comment from : Inchust Wildlife

Appreciate this video, and the thought ideas when looking into trail cameras You certainly showed some great points on advertising vs miss conception My opinion to get the best out of any trail camera you hit on is how you set it up at a location You should set them up differently on a trail versus a field for example You are humble when you say your not an expert, I know your the first place I go to see if you have done a review on a particular camera Have a BLESSED day and keep SHARING your PASSION Comment from : Boxie Outdoors

I use the tasco 12mp and I've been very happy with them brVery good video 👍👍 Comment from : Stephanie Bolding

Dave you say you're not an expert, but you sure do provide some great information about trail cameras Comment from : Squirrelly Acres Family Camp

Very good video Dave, and you're absolutely right about false advertising! Also, more goes into good picture quality than just megapixels like sensor quality, capture speed etc!! You certainly have tons of experience with these fun toys we love to deploy into the woods!! Comment from : Dark 30 Outdoors

Excellent review Dave You are a pro at these Comment from : Your Next Cast

Some information my friend thank you Comment from : John Ames

Thank you That was very informative !! Comment from : Wilderness Wanderer

As a photograpgher I learned a long time ago, the quality of the image sensor is far more important than the megapixels Great info Dave Comment from : Go Midwest Fishing

Great video Of all the trail cameras, do you have a favorite? Comment from : North Florida Backyard

nice content Greetings from Indonesia have a nice day ma friend Comment from : Hanyar Diulah

Lots of great information Dave! Comment from : Trail Camera & Texas Wildlife
