Great little camera, wifi/bluetooth feature is a game changer.
I really love these little cameras. I’ve been using them for 3 months. I bought them for wildlife viewing in my yard and wooded lot. I originally purchased two. I liked them so much I have purchased two additional ones and am considering another couple.I am so pleased to have them wifi/bluetooth capable. No more going out in all kinds of weather to get the sd card to view the images. I can just sit inside drinking my coffee in the morning and look at what critters visited my yard. Very fun.The wifi range has been great for mine. Two of them with unobstructed views get better range than what is quoted. I did find with one down a slope and more obstructions (deck & steps) it can be finicky with connections at slightly less than the quoted range but that seemed reasonable to me.The battery life after charging seemed very good without the solar panel. It is even better with it. I admit I didn’t think such a little solar panel was going to work that well but it keeps them @ 100% consistently. I thought there would be too much shade for one of the cameras but so far even the little bit of sun keeps it charged.Picture quality is good for this little camera in daylight. At night the visibility range isn’t as good. the nightlight must not be very powerful but closer up it is fine (so okay to ~15-18ft).The motion sensor is nicely sensitive for wildlife. It can even pick up mice scooting around. In fact it helped me figure out how some mice were squeezing into a spot to get into my shed! Now I’ve got that plugged, thanks Assark camera.I’ve found the Trail Cam Go app easy to use for adjusting the camera settings, viewing, downloading or deleting videos.If I could give them 4 1/2 stars I might do that because there are a couple of small things I don’t like.I like to use my ipad to view the videos. Not all aspects of the app are set up to view in landscape mode so I have to keep switching my ipad from portrait to landscape as I navigate through to find the images I want to view then to watch them. If I have my ipad in landscape mode It would be way better if every page in the app could be viewed in landscape mode.The rubber cover on the bottom for the controls and plug is all one piece. So if you have the solar panel plugged in it is harder to get the other controls covered to protect them.The trigger speed for the camera is not super fast. Depending on where I have the camera positioned it might catch just the tail end of an animal if it is running. I found I could move the camera further away from pathway to get better views.All in all a fabulous little camera for wildlife viewing (people too).

Great little camera.
Ultra clear pictures and terrific customer service. I thought I had a bad SD card. Turned out to be something I was doing wrong. I contacted the company. They responded right away and offered to send me a new card. I didn't need a new card, but it was nice they offered. The camera is easy to set up and monitor from my phone. If you're looking for a great little camera at a great price, this is it.

Good little trail cam
Overall, the camera works well.PRO:The solar panel maintains the unit very well.The app is easy to use.The picture quality is above average.Like the compact size.CON:the image size for a given distance is a little smaller than other trail cameras I have.The mounting base for the solar panel could be a little more robust.Overall, it is a good product. I would buy it again.

Fantastic camera and customer service
Very happy with my purchase! This camera is awesome and simple to use! Also great customer service! I accidentally threw the instructions in the garbage so I contacted them. I received a long personally written response telling me exactly what to do! I’ve never ever had such good customer service!Very reasonable price for such a good quality trail cam! The first live action were some blue jays, but it picked up their movement quickly and the video, which I’ve deleted by mistake, was very clear and I could hear the jay fussing.That night I set it up where I feed stray cats and the camera picked up on their movements and made really clear pictures.I moved the camera deeper into the woods where feral hogs and am excited to see what it picks up

Great hardware design...until it fails. Wireless terrible. App terrible. Don't buy this!
i loved this at first, as an electrical engineer who designs such products, I was so impressed by how slick this product was, at such a great price. It worked at first, and I was excited. Grabbed some photos after a couple days, got some deer, and our fox. You have to stand right next to it to download pics, and it's SUPER slow. The App is a disaster--again, well intentioned, seems nice at first, but it gets bogged down, loads thumbnails in small groups taking maybe 5-10 seconds. Each photo download takes 10 seconds. Each video download takes 30 seconds. One...at...a....time....as you stand there in the cold. Eventually, it locks up, and you must kill the app and START OVER at the newest photos----you can never get to photos older than a few days through the App!i finally unwound the darned thing from the tree, walked the 100 yards back to the house, and pulled the SD card (not easy, impossible on the tree), and months of photos dumped finally. Mostly wind moving trees, it's fully dumb.Installed on a new tree to watch the fox den, and now it locks up after viewing one photo. I can't download anymore, it just freezes up. I reformatted the SD card, that didn't help. There are NO firmware updates or support of any kind for this camera! They never fix the App!Too bad, it's nice little camera, but the software needs to work too.

Absolutely love this camera! Crystal-clear footage, easy setup, and the camo design blends perfectly with the trees. Great quality — highly recommend!

Does great job. Ez to setup and use.
This is a great trailcam for watching critters coming in our yard at night. Is sensitive enough to pickup pretty much all activity. The solar charger means never having to recharge batteries. Pix and recordings are very clear. Does have a limited distance you can mount away from the wifi for active viewing. Have seen critters we are totally surprised are showing up.
