Not For Birdwatchers
This is a nice camera with a good interface. However it was not sensitive enough for my application which was to capture videos of Bluebirds coming and going from a birdhouse. I mounted the camera on a tree 6' away and set the sensitivity to high but it still didn't detect the Bluebirds. The motion test showed that it captured other, larger objects but not the birds.A few quibbles with the design: ⁃ You can't use the monitor to aim the camera because you have to open the box to see it and opening the box points the camera 180º away from it's monitoring position. ⁃ There is no information on how it formats the SD Card. I used a new 128 GB card. Initially, it formatted it to an exFAT format that was incompatible with the exFat format that my Mac's can read. I used a Mac to reformat it to MSDos Fat (16). The unit then reformatted it to MSDos Fat (32). Both of these formats were able to be read by the Mac.I didn't test the other features such as night vision and timed captures.In summary, this is probably a good camera for monitoring larger animals (and cars in the background) but it doesn't work for Bluebirds.
