" ... The motion sensor works well ... "
" ... Easy to set up , pleased with the motion sensor ,night vision ok could be better not sure if I mounted in the best position ,maybe that had a bearing on night vision, but pretty pleased with camera so far . ... "
" ... The sensors are incredibly sensitive, needs setting up in a clearing as every blade of grassroots moving very slightly will set it off, this hadn't occurred to me. ... "
" ... Plenty of diffrent settings to choose from,including timelapse which lets you capture wider areas outwith the sensor's trigger range. ... "
" ... The sensors on this camera are better than on the cheaper ones. ... "
