GardePro A3S 2-Pack Trail Camera (Non-Cellular, Non-WiFi), 64MP Photo & 1296P HD Video, 0.1s Trigger, 100ft No-Glow Night Vision, Motion Activated Wildlife Camera

This Is A Truly Outstanding trailcam And Better than Most At twice the Price . There Seems To Be A lot Of Confusion Over The Field Of View. There Are 2. The Motion Sensor Is Either 60 Or 120 Degs With The Side Sensors On And The camera Lense FOV That's 63 Degs. That Causes A Telephoto Effect. So If You're Doing A Wide Target Area Move The Cam Back Some And Do A Detection Test. Both My Cameras Had The Video Problem ( A freeze Frame Picture & 30 Sec Audio About 60 % Of The time) . I Emailed Support & They Sent Me An Email With The New Firmware Update Attached. You download The Update , Drop It In An SD Card , Follow The Inst In The Email And You're Good To Go. The Update Also Added The Picture +Video Mode. The Picture & Video quality Is Outstanding . Its Crisp & Sharp. The IR LEDs vary In Output To Prevent Whiteout Which Is Great But If There Is A Close Reflecting Object Like A Tree In The Foreground The Rest Will Be Darker. This Cam Will light Up An Area 75 Ft Away Like High Noon In B+W Or Give Perfect Exposure On A Deer Face At 5 Ft With A Dark Background. The Cam Also Has A 3rd Mode At Dusk & Dawn. A Special Sensor & Sony Software Give Another 30 Mins Or So Of Extended Daylight Color Video. Not As Good As The Normal Day Vids But The A3s The Only One I Know Of With This Goody. Battery Life & Storage - The Over 3 Mon Standby Batt Life Is Fine But Unless You're Tracking Snow Lepards Or Bigfoot And Can Wait 3 Months Why. The Point Is With Most Every Goody It Is Low Use . On The Other Hand On 20MP & 1080 FHD Video It A Memory Hog. ( HD Takes Space) The Cam Will Take SD Cards Up To 128 Gig. However 8 AA Batteries Will Only Fill About 32 Gig (That's About 250-300 1Min HD Vids) If You Have It Set On A Feed Station Looking For That Special Buck That May Be About 4 Days. If You Want To Go To 64 Or 128 Gig Cards You Need An External 12V Battery And A Plug In That's 4MM (Yellow Tip) (Important - Do Not Get The 90 Deg Plug In - They Don't Go In Far Enough To Make Good Contact - Will Fall Out & You'll Be Un Happy. Also Put In The 8 Batteries - It Will Keep Your Presets During Trans And Is A Backup If Some Coon Pulls Your Power Plug. - Amazon Has The Stealthcam Battery Box Under "Batteries" And I Think It has A 4mm (Yellow Tip) Plug. I've Been Running 2 A3s 24/7 For The Last 3 Months I Just Ordered Another.

(The attached image is cropped way down, not the full frame) Great camera, especially in daylight, but it also works well in the dark (out to maybe 50 feet, after that it falls off pretty hard). In daylight its good generally, it does suffer with harsh contrast, try to place it such that the light is fairly even in the scene. Don't get fooled into caring that it can do big megapixels.. it doesn't matter.. The quality of the lens is such that anything over about 4mp is wasting space on your card... I can not see the difference between 4mp and 16mp - it simply doesn't have fine enough optics for that kind of sensor resolution to matter. Just the same, it takes pretty good photos considering what it is and the price. Motion detection is very good, doesn't false too much (if there is water in the scene all bets are off!).. Motion detection at night is really good, very few falses. Can't be beat for the price.. Simple, reliable and not too expensive.

This 2 pack waterproof trail camera is awesome. I use these for deer hunting and they work great. The video and picture quality is very good, I'm not expecting movie theater quality here. I just want relative good quality photos and videos to identify wild animals on public property. I paired the cameras with 64GB memory cards and it is more than enough space to record movement. Night vision is also pretty impressive and works well enough to get video confirmation on legal animals to hunt. My only complaint is the size of the clips to secure the camera to a tree/post are very small. A belt style lock will work fine, but not enough room to fit a small size cable to secure the camera on public land. REQUIRES 8 x AA batteries

First: I received nothing for this review. This is important as many, many of the cheaper, Chinese "brand" cameras get their good reviews by bribing people to take down bad ones with free stuff. I own/have owned probably about 15 trail cameras and have had them out in the woods in both freezing temperatures and 100+ degrees and 100% humidity. Except for this brand and the expensive American brands (Browning), they all break fairly quickly. Putting a camera in a great spot and coming back weeks later to find the camera took zero pictures is the ultimate bummer. Don't buy bs like "wosoda" and "wosports". It will fail, quickly. This camera is affordable, reliable, packed with features, super easy to use and takes absolutely amazing footage. The night time stuff is remarkable, and better than any other camera I have-- including a 200 dollar Browning. I use my cameras to find and look at cool animals, not to hunt. Hence, my needs are actually significantly GREATER. I'm not trying to locate a buck to shoot (I click right past all the stupid white tail pics), I'm looking to view smaller, faster, more interesting animals. Many cameras take such crappy footage, that these smaller animals look like little white blurs at night, or just undistinguished brown blurs during the day. This camera catches astonishingly clear, detailed, night time imagery, and crystal clear day time imagery. I've included a video of a weasel. Note you can see the tip on the tail, the face, etc. In the bobcat photo, you can see accurate depth, detail and color. Most other cameras you get a washed out, pixelated piece of garbage. If you're new to this, just trust me. I OWN 5 OF THESE AND THEY'RE ALL GREAT. This is the camera for you if you need an affordable, very high quality product.

Excellent

Great value , haven't used in the field yet, but checked out the dogs nocturnal activity.

When I opened the camera a small screw fell out and wont screw back in so that was dissappointing.

We have been running dozens of different trailcams year-round for about a decade. We test out the occasional "cheap brands" that come and go on Amazon. Most of these seem very similar (software, design, etc) as if parts and software come from the same place, or there is constant "re-branding" going on. Issues were common (software crashing, water ingress, loss of contact with SD cards within hours or days after setting it regardless of card brand, date/time drifting, electrical buzzing sound over audio, etc). We hike all over the mountains and having any camera malfunction and missing footage when you have hiked two 12 hour round trips to set and check it is a pretty big issue. However, this review is not about THOSE cameras. This review is about the GardePro A3: We ordered two GardePro A3 cameras in early May. 2022 After a few weeks of running them, we did not encounter any major issues. The cameras ran the entire time. The motion detection works very well. The video quality is quite good. The sound is fairly good as well. We could hear the bears chewing grass near the camera. We did notice at the beginning of every video, there is a loud "woosh" sound for about 1.5 seconds, but it's easy to cut out with editing software. There has not been any water ingress from the rain we had so far. We did notice the tightness of the latches are inconsistent (loose on some cameras but tight on others) but all seam to close/seal enough that they do not leak. We were were optimistic enough about these cameras to order 2 more of them in early June 2022. Now we have a total of 4 and still no issues. The real test will be how the cameras hold up to coastal rain storms in the fall as well as Canadian winter. At these point these cameras seem very good overall. I will update the review if any issues arise.
