" ... When taking pictures at night, the camera should be basically parallel to the ground, so that it will be less exposed in the middle and not suggested to get too close to the object of observation. ... "
" ... Great camera and night vision. ... "
" ... I bought this camera for monitoring my yard at night. ... "
" ... Night vision is good enough to identify the animals. ... "
" ... Night vision is average and the IR lights are typical. ... "
" ... The reason I'm bummed is that it took excellent day time pics and movies and also did quite well with the night shots too. ... "
" ... Compared to Browning, Moultrie, Bushnell game cameras, it takes fantastic pictures with wider view, and more clearer at daytime, almost similar pictures quality at night. ... "
" ... Clear pictures at day time and very pleased that the IR lights are barely if not noticeable at night. ... "

" ... 3. good color photos ... "
" ... The one color photo of the bobcat is cropped/enlarged so the date/time stamp isn't visible. ... "
" ... The camouflage color is well blended with my yard, not easy to be found. ... "
" ... The pictures are crisp. ... "
" ... Night photos are also very sharp in contrast. ... "
" ... The images are clear and you can set different levels of pixels to add or reduce clarity to determine file size. ... "
" ... If you are a busy person in this world it can be difficult to remember all the settings, but it produces great color video and pictures it works fantastic, if you make all the correct or wanted settings, it was difficult for me to remember from settings to on position to always select video mode, and then to review the captures you have to select play and up and down arrows to see the captures I thought I was not getting and video or pictures. ...

" ... As my experience, Scandisk 32GB class 10 sd card, energizer or duracell 1.5v batteries are quite good for the trail cameras. ... "
" ... I can program my cam very conveniently, and can also view the pictures on it hence I don't need to remove the SD card. ... "
" ... You need a fast SD card for it to work it's best. ... "
" ... I check them every 2 days, switching out the 32 GB SD cards and then going home to look at photos on my home computer. ... Sometimes I've had as many as 1400 photos on an SD card in 2 days because the wind was blowing branches. ... "
" ... When taking a new SD card at first time, remember formatting it with the format command on the camera menu, use a standard SD card of at least class 6 or above, and note that it is not micro / sim sd card. ... "
" ... October 25, 2018: Someone must have really liked my camera as I went to change the memory card today and the camera is now missing. ... "
" ... The seller also provided quick response, I had a question about sd card, they replied very quickly. ... I used a scandisk class10 32gb sd card, it seems very good. ... "
" ... In the one week period of operation, the camera took and stored approximately 10,000 photo's on the 32GB memory card. ... Wish list: larger memory card storage capacity~~128 or even 256 GB. ... "

" ... But I do like the motion sense arrangement that triggers with better timing when something comes in from the side. ... "
" ... The sensors in this camera are excellent! ... "
" ... There are two side motion sensors on the camera which should be designed for motion detection. ... "
" ... In test mode, a red LED flashes when motion is detected. ... I was pleasantly surprised when the next morning I received an e-mail telling me what the side PIR sensors do. ... "
" ... This is my first motion detector camera, but I am happy with it and recommend it. ... "
" ... Motion sensors are very responsive I had to set it to low sensitivity level. ... "
