Campark Trail Game Camera 14MP 1080P Waterproof Hunting Scouting Cam for Wildlife Monitoring with 120°Detecting Range Night Vision 2.4" LCD IR LEDs
I have been using trail/game cameras for over six years and this one has excellent features and performance for the price as of this writing 62$ . Most important to me is sensitivity and high quality imagery and video and the quality of 14MP imagery and 1080 and 720 video is impressive. The most important workload feature to me is the live image preview and media review - this used to be unheard of at this price point. I have paid 150 and 180 for cameras that didn't have this feature. It is so much better to see exactly what area you are going to capture and what you have captured so far without removing the camera or the disk to check the media in the computer. I have taken hundreds of images and several hundred 1 minute videos while testing this on a single set of batteries so am impressed with battery life. Trigger sensitivity has been quite good with the side sensors and the highest setting you can catch the animal in action just as they enter the frame - see the picture attached of just the nose of an elk triggering and the head of a squirrel then they jump into action. I use these cameras to get close ups of birds and small mammals as well as large game and can get clear video and triggers on birds as small as chickadees. Minimum focus distance is about 24 inches so if you put the subject closer than that it will naturally be a little out of focus so account for that in your shoot layout all cameras have that issue you can't get too close and be in focus. Another nice feature is a mounting bracket for a permanent installation which would be useful for home security monitoring applications. I triggered on myself many times walking around so I'm sure it would be good for monitoring trespassing and suspicious activity at least 50 to 75 feet away. The IR night lights are very bright. I made a comprehensive video review on YouTube if you want to see that just search CamPark 14MP Trail Camera Test and look for the one with a big elk on the thumbnail.
