A trail camera is a camera which is designed to operate unattended outdoors and to automatically capture pictures or video of anything that triggers the built-in motion detector. They are mainly used to monitor wildlife activity but could be used for security purposes also.
Victure's new trail cam, positioned at the lower end of their range of trail cams, arrived packed in an attractive mid-market product box inside of which was the camera itself, metal ground/surface mount with screw fittings, retaining tree mount strap, data cable, and User Guide. Although the camera itself is made of plastic and is rather lightweight (which is perhaps no drawback) build quality seems excellent. The User Guide is a good size, well printed, easy to read and, unlike many, is genuinely useful.
The IP66 water-resistant camera takes eight AA batteries, four can be fitted for setup only, which means it can be left to operate untended over extended periods. Take note that if used intensively the batteries will quickly run down but in normal use should last up to six months on standby but far less if extensively used. Lithium batteries generally work best and last longest. The batteries are housed in an easy-access compartment in the base of the unit. It also has the option to use a 6V/1.5A external power supply (not supplied).
On the front of the device are the lens, light sensor, motion sensor, Status LEDs, 850nm 32 LED infrared panel. On the side is a clip to secure the front-facing control panel flap. The hinged flap opens out to give access to the colour LCD monitor, speaker grill and control buttons. Inside the panel on one side is the full-size SD card slot (Class 10 recommended, 32Gb maximum), far easier to deal with on a cold night than a tiny micro-SD card. Inside the panel on the front face is the battery compartment release catch, LCD screen and control buttons. Inside the flap on the lower face is a Mini-USB port, and power in port. With the flap closed on the bottom is the single metal screw hole for a tripod and the grommet protected outer access port for an external power supply.
Inside the flap next to the LCD screen on one side is large turret switch to set the device to ON/TEST/ OFF Above it are Menu, Up, OK, Down and Mode buttons. The buttons are a good size and reasonably easy to find and use in the outside at night.
Although there are plenty of refinements and fine-tuning that can be made, in fact, the camera can be up and running very quickly with the default settings. After inserting the batteries and removing the gels covering the lens, sensors and screen, set the turret slider to TEST and press the MENU button. From here you can now set the image and video resolutions, video recording lengths and other parameters such as time stamping, time-lapse, Time Lapse etc. One particularly useful feature is that you do not have to choose between Video or Stills as you can set it to record both at once. Time should be spent on best positioning the camera for best results. Remember to insert a micro-SD card first and to format it using the camera software before use. Do not insert or remove the SD card when the camera is turned on.
I was pleased and not a little surprised by the photo and video quality, too often budget trail cameras fall down here by using cheap hardware to save production costs, but not so here. For the price image quality is excellent for both Video and stills at up to 20MP and gives good quality 1080p video at 15fps. I found that in some lighting conditions highlights can burn out so take care to select the right camera position to avoid them. Care must be taken also to avoid false motion sensor alerts – foliage, vehicles, etc – as this will soon flatten the battery. Although the trigger time is about average at 0.4s nevertheless when recording wildlife try and position the camera so the subject approaches the camera and not across it. That way the trigger has time to fire and you will see the subject head-on and not get a picture of its rear end as it leaves the frame! The camera has a minimum reset speed of just 2 seconds and a time-lapse photography option.
This is a budget camera and is lacking a few features, side sensors, wifi, remote control etc and the frame rate of 15fps is disappointing but that aside all the key features you will need are here.
This camera can be great fun if you have a big garden and wonder what goes on there when you are away. Both for features and image quality this is one of the best trail cams I have used in this price range. At less than £60 this is a very decent buy.
