A trail camera is a camera which is designed to operate unattended outdoors and to automatically capture pictures or video of anything that triggers the built-in motion detector. They are mainly used to monitor wildlife activity but could be used for security purposes also. • This new £45.99 model H45 from APEMAN arrived packed in an attractive mid-market product box inside of which was the camera itself, metal floor/surface mount with screw fittings, tree mount retaining strap, micro-USB to USB cable, two User Guides. Although the camera itself is made of plastic and is rather lightweight (which is perhaps no drawback) build quality seems fine in general. The User Guide is large, reasonably well printed and in understandable English. I usually include a scan of the User Guide with my reviews but the Guide is too long to reproduce here. • The camera takes four or eight AA batteries, a lot but it means it can be left to operate untended over extended periods. Take note that if used intensively the batteries will very quickly run down but in normal use should last up to six months. The batteries are housed in a compartment in the main body of the unit. It has the option to use an external 6v power supply (not supplied). On the front of the device are the LEDs, infrared 26 LED panel, wide angled motion sensor. On the side are clips to secure the front and rear sections of the camera, these work well but I would prefer it had they been more robust. When the clips are released the front and back of the device open out like a book. On the underside is a metal tripod screw and a grommet protected external power supply input. On the inside of the front face is a 2.4 colour LCD screen, with navigation buttons alongside. Below is a three-way turret switch for Off/TEST/ON. On the underside of the inside front panel are a full-sized SD card slot (for cards up to 32GB), mini-USB port. A full sized card is far easier to fit on location with gloved hands than the micro-SD cards used by rivals. The camera is rated IP66 which means it should withstand heavy driving rain but not water immersion. • Some trail cams just have a standard motion sensor on the front, others have front and side sensors. This one has a single sensor but it has a 90-degree wide angle view with a 20M range so it should be able to match the multi-sensor rivals whilst consuming less power to do so. • Although there are plenty of refinements and fine-tuning that can be made, the camera can be up and running very quickly with the default settings. After inserting the batteries and removing the gels covering the lens and sensors and screen, switch it to TEST mode and press the MENU button. From here you can now set the image and video resolutions, video recording lengths and other parameters. One particularly useful feature is that you do not have to choose between Video or Stills as you can set it to record both at once. Time should be spent on best positioning the camera for the front and side sensors and the device can help you with these using visual indications of when you are in range during setup. To avoid battery drain it is crucial to place the camera in a location free from false positives - moving foliage, traffic, etc. Remember to insert an SD card first and to format it using the camera software before use. • I was pleased and not a little surprised by the photo and video quality, too often budget trail cameras fall down here by using cheap hardware to save production costs, but not so here. Image quality is excellent for both Video and stills considering the budget price. • This camera can be great fun if you have a big garden and wonder what goes on there when you are away. Professionals might look to pay more for higher quality and improved build quality. • The Good • Great price • Good image quality • Good build quality • Range of mounting options • Simultaneous stills and video option • Scheduling • wide-angle motion sensor • Excellent User Guide • 4 or 8 battery option • Audio recording option • Full-size SD card • The Bad • Clips could be stronger • Heavy battery drain when used intensively • 32GB maximum card • No memory card included • No carry case • More info and purchase: https://goo.gl/eyFXyG
