Wildlife Camera WiFi 24MP 1296P, Usogood Trail Camera with Night Vision Motion Activated Game & Trail Cameras IP66 Waterproof for Wildlife Scouting, Garden Monitoring, Hunting and Home Security

Although the camera that I originally purchased was faulty (probably or possibly damaged in transit), the replacement was well packaged and arrived safely. This camera is in perfect working order. Once I had inserted the 8 x AA batteries and the Memory card (purchased separately), I found it was a fairly easy process to set up. After scanning the QR code on the Amazon product page and downloading the 'Hunting Cam Pro' APP to my iPhone, the Wi-Fi connected straight away with no problem. I found it was much easier to alter the various camera settings from the much larger screen on my iPhone. I made a short test video on the camera from the controls featured in the APP on my phone and it worked perfectly. In the camera settings there is a facility to update the camera software/firmware if one ever becomes available. There is also a setting where you can name/number your camera. The resulting photographs and video footage are crisp and clear and are far superior to the various older Trail Cameras that I own. With the camera screen being on the fixed body of the camera means that it takes the guesswork out of the positioning of the camera. Obviously, with the camera having built-in Wi-Fi I can view and download any resulting footage to my phone, which is handy if the camera is high up on a tree for example. Although the camera is waterproof/dustproof, I have fashioned a rudimentary cover (as seen in the photos) which is mainly to protect the camera lens from bird and squirrel droppings. After a couple of nights testing and determining the best final position for the camera, I connected a 6v DC power adapter which obviously saves having to buy and replace batteries. Having had some of my previous footage of the nocturnal wildlife happening around the area where I live broadcast on the BBC, I feel sure that they will be more than happy in the future with the quality of the videos and photos obtained from this camera. The short video I've included shows the camera in night vision mode over one evening and the colour photograph shows the same spot during daylight hours. I have two UsoGood TC30 Wildlife Cameras which I previously purchased In December 2019 and they have been in use, working perfectly every single day/night since then, so I know how good they can be. I will definitely be looking to eventually replace these with the updated TC50 Wildlife Cameras. The TC50 Camera itself is quality built with advanced features that I wasn't expecting for the reasonable price. I have owned much more expensive cameras with less features than this one. On this basis, I am more than happy to give this camera my recommendation.

Setting up and viewing a trail camera has stopped being a challenge. With the WiFi and the easy to use app not only can you view all the great pictures and videos the camera captured but you can also manage the all the settings for the camera. You can also view the remaining storage capacity and the condition of the battery. You can also check what the camera is seeing and take pictures and videos on the camera while connected to its WiFi. All of this without venturing outside. Really a great trail camera. The only tiny thing I would change if I could would be that the starting date/time stamp be shown against the video thumbnails. Currently you have to play the video to see the time.

Bought this camera as I really liked the sound of setting up the camera and checking captures via WiFi. I already have the non-WiFi version (TC30), and have captured some excellent video of wildlife with it. So with a higher resolution and WiFi functionality I was hoping this would be a step up, and I have to say, I wasn't disappointed. Initial thoughts while un-boxing was that the camera felt sturdy and of decent quality. The door and viewer area is different to the TC30, with just the bottom third of the body hinging open to reveal the screen, buttons, ports etc. The clip is satisfyingly firm and the door seems to give excellent protection from the elements – something that has been severely tested (and confirmed) in recent days! Initial set-up was frustrating and I wasn't able to get my phone to recognise the camera, despite the phone being connected to its hotspot. Nothing I did would work and I began to think I'd made a mistake buying this camera. I emailed the support address at UsoGood, not expecting much joy, but the next day I had a reply explaining their App was having issues and giving me a link to an alternative. After installing this new app everything connected and worked first time. I was blown away by the ease of set-up and use, all settings of the camera can be configured via the app, live views via the phone, viewing and downloading photos and video, all without having to touch the camera. This will be invaluable when I go away shortly, being able to set the camera up in a tree and still check it regularly without having to bring it down every day or two. The video I've shot in the garden isn't particularly exciting – my Weimaraner patrolling and the occasional blackbird pecking on the lawn, but the video quality is excellent, even to the point where the wife commented on the difference between the two cameras. Battery life so far has been excellent. It's been on constantly for about a week, shot around 150 15 second video clips during the day and night (night vision is excellent by the way), had WiFi turned on regularly for checking and it's only just dropped one bar of battery. Very impressed, probably more than I expected to be if I'm honest.

This was the second trail cam I have purchased, and was an upgrade from my last one one. It is very easy to use and the 24mp resolution produces great photos and videos. However, it worked properly for about 2 weeks, then stopped recording even though we know there was wildlife in the vicinity. I tried everything for another week before giving up and sending it back. We get a lot of wildlife in our garden which we can see, and the camera was set up in close proximity to where we leave the food. So we could see the wildlife in the garden close to the camera, but the camera was not triggered. Returned for a refund. I would have tried another one of the same model, but the the price is now higher. So - you can’t always replace like for like.

This camera is far better than others I have tried in every respect. The case is constructed well and closes securely with just one clip. The mounting bracket is of good construction but I have mounted it on my own tripod. The instruction leaflet is easy to understand and enables easy set up. An excellent improvement is the ability to view the screen in the set up position. Previously it was hit and miss. With this camera the screen is on the fixed body and not on the hinged cover. Using the mode settings it is remarkably easy to set up and there are many options to choose from in photo or video mode. Another great addition is the ability to view the captured photos and videos from your phone. Captured images can be downloaded remotely to your mobile. It is also useful to be able to adjust the settings remotely from the phone. To do this you connect your phone's wifi to hunting camera app after activating the camera wifi using the supplied remote. This is an excellent piece of kit at a reasonable price.

The camera itself is reasonably good although I found the night shots to be a little grainy and the IR does not reach that far. The main issue I had was the fact that it’s not really wi-fi connected as you would normally understand it, but rather it uses its own wireless setup to communicate with another device. This entails switching it into “wi-if mode” using the buttons or the supplied on/off remote and connecting to the camera SSID. The wireless range is very limited, just a few feet, and very slow if you try to download a video file. If it had been able to connect to the home network it would have been much more useable.

This trail camera was pretty easy to set up, seems to have survived all weather conditions since arriving around 2-3 months ago and takes good quality video and pictures. I particularly like the fact that the user can alter picture and video quality to either make the space on the inserted SD card last longer or capture more vivid images.

This is the highest resolution trailcam I've seen (up to 24mp selectable), and its daytime photos and video are extremely clear and crisp (including low light levels). Night-time images are ok unless the subject is moving - then they will be somewhat blurry, and if moving fast they can be missed altogether, but those seems to be common issue between all trailcams so I'm not counting that as a significant issue - it's all about positioning it (where possible) in a place where the subject will be coming towards the camera rather then across. It is solidly built in tough plastic that feels like it could withstand long durations of foul weather and abuse, but easy to open to access the screen and SD card without having to remove from any mount. The provided strap is perfect for securing to a thick tree trunk, but it comes with a screw based mount should you want to position at a particular angle. The interface is extremely simple and logical to use, and includes a WiFi connection from mobile phone app for accessing images when out and about, which works fine, but I found it quicker to swap out the SD card and plug into a PC to access the large photos and video files.
