I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality of this camera. It is made out of a lightweight but rugged plastic material that appears to be durable and weatherproof. When I undid the clasps that keep the door closed on the camera it took some effort to open it up to access the inner working like sd card and batteries. This shows that the camera is tightly sealed against the elements.The camera images are high quality, actually better quality than what reviewers have uploaded. I think image uploads are reduced in quality for space purposes. It takes 8 AA batteries and I used panasonic eneloop rechargeable batteries and it works great and I can save money on batteries.I don't live out in the woods. I use it as part of my home's security set up. Much of my home is covered by Wyze cams but there is a side of the house that has no access to an electric socket. This camera allows me to cover that side and I can mount it on a tree that allows me to capture an angle that a dedicated security camera would have a hard time covering.Overall, I am happy with this solution as it fills in a need that was difficult to satisfy with other products.
