Walker570 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I have one trail cam which I have had for a long time and it appears not to want to take night shots or sometimes even daytime, so I looked at the possibilities of buying a new one. The choice is endless but my attention was drawn to a very cheap make CAMPARK and I had a look on youtube and there was a good review on there by a guy up north somewhere by his accent. The shots he had taken with his camera where excellent and his review appeared very honest SOOOOOO !! I had a look on Anazon and found them priced up at less than £50 and ordered two. They just arrived today and look pretty robust on the outside. Need a couple of the micro SDs and 16 AA batteries, so cannot get them fired up and tested before Monday, but I will report back as to the performance and put up some of the photos........ if there are any that is. So watch this space. When other cameras are six times the amount, if these work reasonably well they have got to be good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Funker Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I bought a pair of apeman trail cams from amazon last year. Utter cack, one started fogging up and the other had a permanent line across every picture. They went back after a couple of weeks and I've not bought any since. I'd be interested to know how you get on with these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 My ALDI cam lasted 18 months before it packed up. I then had 2 minox cameras that both broken 2nd time out so they swapped it for a deben and it’s been great so far. £130 tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I've commented on trial camera's before and my opinion is that your not looking for photos to enter in the country file calendar. You want to know what's out there and what time, yes you want to be able recognise what it is if course ie fox or cat, Muntjac or Roe. But my opinion again is the more camera's you have out there at one time the better. You can follow their path in and out of your perm, get a better understanding of tneir habbits. I have the one mentioned and find it's really good, I've still got a Bushnell trophy cam from nearly 18 years ago still performing well, they were around £150 then so they have come down in price considerably.

Walker570 Posted July 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 I had a top range Bushnell but it failed to work rather abruptly ..... forgot it was there and put about 8 # 5 shot through it when I shot a squirrel in one of my traps ...now don't laugh, it's rude to abuse a poor old guy .... ...... go on then enjoy yourselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 sorry I'm not laughing, there was something funny on the telly ? DOH I hope you got the squirrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Well, had them both running overnight and some daylight time and must say I am impressed considering the price. Night shots are very good with lots of reach. Day shots nice and crisp and I chose the middle of the road settings. Think I might just buy two more on results so far. Can then cover 4 places where I could only cover one with the more expensive models available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
