HOLLYWTOP Mini Trail Game Camera 20MP 1080P Waterproof 0.4s Trigger Speed Hunting Cams with Night Vision Motion Activated for Wildlife Monitoring and Home Security

I've never had another game camera, these were cheap, I bought before thanksgiving 2019 for my property in tennesee and I wasn't disappointed. They seemed sturdy and after 3 days of cold rain the inside was dry. And the battery to my surprise was still at about 3/4. I had it about 5 ft off the ground. Which must have been too high. I think the down side to these cameras might be the limited sensitivity, cause the only picture I got was of this little buck scratching his head. So I am surprised there aren't more pictures. I think I also accidentally we a lag of 1 hour so it wouldn't trigger till hour after motion. Mostly user friendly and a nice quality color viewing screen. Don't spend much time on the screen it eats the batteries. Overall for my first game cameras, the were real cheap easy to use, could be more sensitive. But hey, If I had a second chance I would probably get these again. Pictures were quality but not national geographic. I'm a photography nut. So put em in the cart and buy em. That's what I say.Update 12/8/19So this thing after I fixed the setting is amazing. I put it on 20MP and the pictures are awesome. They are very grainy when you zoom all the way in but still can make out great detail. I was told to put out essence of skunk by a local trapper to see what animals are on my property. So i got some off amazon and I got picture of raccoons, squirrels, deer, and rabbits. So impressed. I highly recommend these after lowering the camera and adjusting photo lag time it is everything you could need.

I don't really need a trail cam. But I was curious about how often my two cats used their litter box in my RV during long travel days. I'm driving, it's in the back, so I decided to get a game camera. I've since also used it to catch other pet activity, both at home and on the road. This little gem has worked flawlessly for me, so long as I keep it fed with new batteries. (Last set gave me about 500 video recordings and another 500 still shots, about 35-40% after dark using IR). Motion detection is very sensitive, and picture quality far exceeds my expectations at this price point. As literally the lowest price unit I could find, my expectations were pretty low, but to be honest, I could not imagine why I'd spend more than this. It absolutely does everything I want and more.

Pros - Super compact. Hides well in woods. Good battery life. affordable. Low-Glow flash. Easy set up.Cons - Poor picture quality. Slow moving animals are very blurry. 20MP setting is no better than my Bushnell 6MP camera. My worst complaint is the PIR does not activate 80% of the time an animal walks in front of the camera. I watched a little spike for 30 minutes in front of the camera. The spike left and returned around 30 minutes later to spend another 20 minutes in front of the camera. I had the camera set for 3-shot on a 20 second delay. The camera took only 6 pictures. That is absolutely awful. Trust me, I've set up and successfully used many trail cameras over the years and this is the worst PIR sensing/activation I've experienced. The camera would not take my picture if I walked straight into it until I got so close I could reach out and touch it. It also took me 4 tries each in the day and night to catch me running. I'm sending my two Hollywtop cameras back and purchasing a Campark. I own a Campark and it takes great pictures with excellent PIR sensing/activation.

I think the images are good and I am hoping to be able to catch more than our birds and deer, we have always had a cougar in the area and would love to see if he ever wanders through our property

There are several things I like about this camera. First, a great price for such a good camera. It takes good videos at night and there is little delay between sensing motion and starting to record. I like that it only takes 4 batteries and is compact in size. When you turn it on to put it out, there is a time delay so you don't get a video of you putting it down. The only possible negative, which is probably my fault, is that I haven't been able to successfully program the recording 'window' to work like I want (from 10 pm until 6 am the next day). The only other suggestion to the manufacturer is to put a 1/4" x 1/2" bolt with it so you can screw the mounting base that comes with it directly to the camera when you don't want to use the retractable arm. Overall, a great value for a very good camera.

I have set both of these cameras numerous times over the past 11 months. One of these cameras will itermitenly fail to snap any pictures and the other one will miss pictures all the time for example ill set it out for 3 weeks and when i come back to the cmaera it will have plenty of battery life left and no recent pictures to set off the delay but will still fail to capture me on the camera. The picture quality is fair for the price but its irrelevent if it won t fire when a animal is in the field of view.

I bought 2 pack work as advertised no problems with them and they're easy to use and set up check out the pictures

I bought two of these cameras and one works great. The quality of the pictures are good and the sensors work good. I got pictures of coyotes running in front of the camera during the day and night and the camera picked it up. The other camera seems to have slow sensors. Deer have walked by and the camera didnt take a picture when the deer was within 15 feet. It seems to be slow in the dark. Other than that im happy with the cameras. You cant beat the price. I like being able to look at the pictures on the camera before pulling the sd card. Both cameras made it through a small snow storm with no issues. They're pretty good little cameras i ordered 2 more.
