Update: it turns out rechargeable batteries worked fine!For the price and for my needs, this is a very good trail cam. I got it to figure out what has been eating my tomato plants in the middle of the night. Turns out it was squirrels and a raccoon! I like that this has two mounting options. It the woods, I would probably use the strap, but in my yard I was able to use the mount to affix it to my fence. The controls are simple and picture quality and night vision are about what you would expect from a budget trail cam. The one downside is that it requires 8 AA batteries and rechargeable batteries are not recommended. Aside from that, I am pleased.

Easy to program. Great daytime photos, and the night shots are very clear. I bought 5 of these and I can't wait to look at them. I recommend buying 32 Gig SD cards so that when you take one out you can put in a replacement. Very easy to use with 2 ways to install (strap or permanent mount).A++

So far it is EXACTLY what I needed. Easy to use once you read all the instructions. Takes a mini-SD card so be aware you will need a mini SD adapter to put the SD card and view on your computer. Which I highly recommend. Pics can be viewed directly on trail cam also but the screen is small to see the great details of the animals. Takes great night time black and white photos and videos, and great daytime color pictures and videos. Can be adjusted to take either pics or video or both, and settings changed to take more or less photos/ videos to save batteries or SD card space as needed. These pics attached are on default picture quality, it can be sharpened if you want even more detailed pictures.
We are NOT HUNTERS. We bought this as we are trying to catch a feral cat living in a neighborhood park to get her spayed. We have been putting the camera in different locations with food and water to see where she hangs out. Watching the other animals in the park come and look into the camera (skunks, possums) has been great entertainment, even if we haven't caught our elusive female stray yet. This works very well.

I bought this to record wildlife in my backyard. It took a few nights to find a decent place and now I'm recording animals almost every day/night (though there is a limited variety in my area). The video quality is good, even at night and it was very easy to set up. Good for people who want to explore whats going on in their backyard. I have not had any issues with the battery life. You'll want to adjust the motion sensor settings if it starts taking too many pictures, and you do need to buy an SD card separately as this camera does not come with one.

After recent evening activities in my yard, that I wasn't a part of or had invited the attendees to, I decided to put up the game camera. So far I haven't been able to capture the partiers on film...but I'll keep trying!

I haven't taken out to the woods to set up yet, only tested out at home for a bit. It captured several pictures of my cats without issue in a lighting similar to moonlight level. Going to put out in the woods this week and will hopefully have an update soon with some pics.

This trail camera has been excellent. I have had something living under my shed for weeks that kept coming out and eating my vegetables in the garden. I installed this on the fence and it caught the culprit red handed. I called my friend who is an exterminator yesterday and he is coming tomorrow to set up a have a heart trap to help me relocate this groundhog who has been causing me all these problems.

Both day and night pictures are great quality. I bought 4 more after seeing how well these take pics.

I got the idea of hunting and decided to buy some camera with night vision and other features for hunting. I didn't have to search for a long time and I quackly found this camera. This product in my opinion is the best deal! This one has many useful features for hunters. Video quality is actually satisfying, full HD is useful if you want to see small details, especially I was amazed by the night vision quality! I recommend this camera to every hunter or any other, this camera is actually useful for everyone!
