Much better than my other trail cam.
I have another trail cam I ordered to put near my camper in the woods. I unboxed it and it needed 8 AAA batteries I didn’t have and an SD card I didn’t have, so on that camping trip I couldn’t set it up. Next trip a few months later I brought the batteries and an SD card, but, it turned out I brough a 32 meg card, not a 32 gig card, as it uses the full size cards, not the micro, so I took the card from a stash of old cards I had laying around and misread the size. Who has 32 meg cards anymore? After six pics the SD card was full and it took me some sleuthing to figure out my mistake. Here comes this camera, complete with batteries and a 64-gig card, micro at that. This thing was a complete package that I was able to set up and use the same day. It also has Wi-Fi connection to my phone so I can view the images on the camera without having to take it down, unlike the other one I still have not been able to use. Next camping trip this one is going up in the wood. Until then I am using it around my house. You have to download the app to use and the setup on the camera is easy. The manual is easy to follow and informative, unlike so many other manuals. This trail cam exceeds my expectations and I highly recommend it.

I love my first trail cam!
Since I live in an urban area, people often ask why I want a trail cam. The short answer is to see and photograph wildlife. Our area has coyotes, mink, raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, eagles, and hawks, among others. And my primary mission at the moment is to see what nocturnal varmints are terrorizing our vegetable garden. I suspect "rascally rabbits" (an homage to Elmer Fudd), but having photographic evidence would be nice.What I really like about this trail cam is the solid IP67 build. For anyone unfamiliar with these ratings, IP stands for Intrusion Protection, and it is an international standard that describes a level of water and dust intrusion protection—the higher the number, the better the protection. The 6 means no dust shall enter, and the 7 means the device can stay underwater for 30 minutes—a rating perfect for a trail cam.I "dig" the apparent quality of the camera and its cool, wrinkled camouflage finish to blend in with the surrounding area. You can strap it to a tree or other stationary object or, using the included accessories, mount it to a flat surface with screws and anchors or a tripod with the mounting plate and camera adapter. The company didn't overlook a thing when providing mounting options, and I appreciate it.I also like that they include a 64GB SD card (it can handle up to 128GB) and the 8 AA batteries needed to power the camera. Providing these two essentials meant I could get the camera set up and operating without delay.Regarding setup, it's relatively easy. You need to download the camera's app and walk through a handful of steps on the app and with the trail cam. It's nothing odious, but it takes time and requires attention. I appreciate the comprehensive manual and quick start guide. One oversight in the manual is the location of the On/Off/Setup switch. They diagram everything but that. So, I included a picture showing where it's located.During setup, you'll need to grant the camera permission to connect via BlueTooth and wifi. The camera uses its own wifi network, not that of your home, so you don't need to enter your password or anything. You must do this via the app. Once connected, you can view the images, save them to your phone, and do some other management tasks. Being able to download directly to my phone is very nice. I've included two images, daylight and IR, as examples of the only critter the camera has captured so far, me.I only have one complaint: the limited range of the trail cam's wifi connection. By my estimation, it's 20 to 30 feet. That's somewhat limiting in my use case, but it's not a deal breaker. It will work well for checking in on your camera in a forest setting, allowing you to see the images (or video if you choose that mode) without opening the camera and scrolling through everything on the built-in screen.If you want to add your first trail cam to an existing fleet, pick this product. It will meet your needs with outstanding quality and value.

Inexpensive, capable...
This is a solid trail camera for the price and if you can live without LTE/cellular connectivity, you'll find this camera pretty much all you need, especially if you're looking to place your camera somewhere within wifi connectivity.The camera has an internal screen for setup and aiming. It comes with eight AA batteries. You can use rechargeable batteries, but they must provide 1.5v power.Video and images from the camera are great and the wide 130 degree field of view helps. Night vision is excellent and trigger time is fast.One reviewer claims this is not a wifi camera, that it only operates its own wifi network and is a Bluetooth camera with a wifi hotspot. That's a failure to understand the setup procedures of this, or most any, remote wifi device. Bluetooth is used to establish an initial link between the camera and your phone, then a direct wifi connection is made and once the direct wifi connection is made the wifi network password is entered and your wifi network picks up the camera as a client.

Excellent trail camera
I recently picked up this trail camera from Vine, and I have to say, it’s a great camera and seeing the selling price, it's a pretty good value as well; Compared to other options with similar quality, this one is definitely below market price, which is a huge plus.Configuration is easy and it uses industry-standard options and settings that you'll find on most mainstream trail cameras. It also has a "time lapse video" mode which I haven't used but I appreciate because stitching time lapse photos into a video can be a chore.The motion detector works really well. I set it to medium sensitivity, and it captured quite a few great nighttime pictures of a fox stalking my chicken coop, even when it was fairly far away. It was also able to prevent too many false triggers which is a tough balancing act. The depth of field and image quality are impressive; see my daytime chicken shot for an example. It looks fantastic.The included SD card is a UHS-class-3, but it performs at almost double the speed for both read and write operations. I ran a performance test, and it exceeded my expectations. See a screenshot attached, if you can't parse it, just know that UHS-3 only has to hit half those numbers. I don't want to go too far into this, but it's just nice to see a manufacturer not cheaping out on parts; it speaks to their other choices.I didn’t use the app, but I appreciate that the camera uses a USB-C connector. It’s much more common these days, making it easy to find a compatible cable. Overall, I really like this camera and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable trail camera with great photo quality at a great price.PS: for the love of goodness; set your photo resolution to 4K. There ain't a camera on the market (this one included) that has a sensor justifying higher resolution. They all just up-scale the images anyways and 4K is really the sweet spot.

Surprisingly perfect!
I bought this and another "name brand" trail camera at the same time. I was nervous about the kjk camera because im unfamiliar with the brand, but liked the better price. I am very surprised - so far the kjk camera has outperformed the other, more expensive one! The app connects easily and the pictures are clear. My only complaint is that when i connect thru the app, i can't enlarge or preview a photo without downloading it - which isn't quick sometimes. However, my other name brand camera is the same way and is even slower! All in all - I'm very happy with my purchase and will definitely buy this again in the future. Thank you!

Easy Setup
I liked that it was easy to setup. I also liked that it's easy to move. I've had mine in 3 different locations trying to find the best angle on the critters that visit my backyard in the night.

Works great!
Use this for monitoring wildlife around my home. I can sit in my living room and see my front and back yard wildlife access during the hours of darkness. Wifi range is pretty darn good.
