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

This unit works wonderfully well. The name brand optics create a wonderfully detailed image. It runs on 8 AA batteries or an extra-purchase wall wart power adapter. It is easy to setup and configure for motion detection and thrifty with battery consumption. I would buy this again without hesitation.

Trail cam is compact and has great video quality. Very affordable option and it holds up to the cold winters in Idaho. Instructions were easy to follow for set up and formatting the SD cards couldn’t have been easier. Although I thought lithium batteries would be needed due to the cold weather, I’ve had regular Duracell batteries in them for over almost 2 months and they still have full power. The battery life is fantastic! In would highly recommend these trail cams.

Having used many different cam brands over the years, I've found this one to be reasonably reliable. It's a departure from the big named brands, but the reliability/quality of this cam appears to be on par with the best of those others who've been around for a while. It does not have the cellular option. The setup menu has a lot of options to choose from and is pretty much self intuitive. The onboard display works well for viewing pics/videos as well as setting up the cam. Daytime photos are good (ignore the hype of uber high mega-pixel image ratings as the human eye can't really detect much difference in photo quality beyond 8 mega pixel- only if you want to enlarge portions of an image does high pixel count become a factor). Night time photos and videos are decent; but due to the IR emission of No-Glo LEDs (940nm), you won't get the background illumination that you would if "Low-Glo" LEDs (850nm) were used (~30% reduction in background lighting using No-Glo LEDs). Still, unless the object is at the far end of the detection range, night time photos are still decent. The side PIR sensors can be deactivated if desired, which is handy if you find that your videos are beginning without any activity appearing in the field of view (a consideration if you are doing a photo burst, with nothing appearing in a couple of the photos). I keep mine ON as there are often times that a critter will trigger a cam well after it's come into the field of view, so you miss a bit of movement unless you can start that video a bit ahead of time! If you are taking a LOT of night time videos, you'll burn through batteries- so I would highly recommend employing an external battery source with the cam, in addition to the internal set of 8 (there are external lithium rechargeable battery packs available that are compact in size, as are chew-proof cords for those squirrels that pose a threat). The camo print on the shell will help conceal the outline of the cam against a background of brush or bark (unlike some of the others who use a lighter gray or tan shell without break-up patterns). It uses a standard SD card which you can format while mounted in the cam or via your laptop. Side note: Regardless of the type of LED lighting chosen, one option is to mount the cam ~8 ft up a tree using a screw-in mount so that you can angle it in any orientation desired. Mature bucks tend to not detect the low-glow flash and any scent left on the cam (or its strap) will not be detected. Plus, trespassers will not readily see the cam if it's out of their normal line of sight, which is typically down or straight ahead. For this purpose, I carry 1 strap-on step section and use a harness that will allow me to lean back.

Love it! Photos and videos are clear. We have caught lots of different types of animals including an owl as it caught a small animal. Batteries last a long time. Camera is well made and durable. Easy to use

I bought this about a year ago and it worked beautifully. I used it to track critters going under my house and it helped me figure out what to do about them. Pictures night and day were clear, focused and crisp. At one point I had it running for 6 weeks and it took pictures every day the entire time. Then, one day I went to use it and it didn't work. No menu, no response, nothing but a white screen. I sent a note and pictures of the screen to GardePro asking for assistance. The next day I got an email asking for my address, phone, etc. so they could send me a replacement. Later that day I got a notice that it had been shipped. got it three days later. I have never had such great service from any on-line vendor in the past 20 years. Could not ask for more - beautiful images and incredible service. You cannot go wrong!

This camera was left out for a year. It was easy to setup, easy to use, and was the perfect size to hide in the tree line. It has a good quality gasket as well. It sat in pouring rain and freezing temperatures and still work flawlessly. Motion detection is a bit of a challenge in the beginning but spend time playing around with it. Easy to connect with you computer.

Great device. I have recorded Coyotes and Racoons. I would like to have more powerful IR light for long distances. I was able to catch animals at 20 meters. In the close range photos are still blurry (because of motion) , but video is great. In anyway - love it. Very simple to use

Great video and audio and works well overall. I did have an issue with intermittent static noise in some of the videos. I reached out to Garde Pro and their customer support was excellent. Worked with me to identify and resolve the issue to my full satisfaction in a very timely and appropriate manner and then followed up to ensure I was satisfied. Issues happen, that's life - how a company stands behind their product is what makes one company stand out - Garde Pro definitely stood out as one of those companies in my interactions with them.

Works quite well, night vision is good too. I find the reaction time a little slow (at least in video mode) when an animal is moving at a decent pace and the framing is tight. Overall solid value; I’m still on my first set of rechargeable 8x AA’s and it’s been 2 months. Like all Amazon trail cams, take a look at the specs. You get 1080p/30fps out of this camera, but the higher resolution brings a lower frame rate. A 30 second 1080/30p video is about 30MB or less, so only a bit rate of about 8mbps. I think you’ll run into this with any random capital letter brand here on Amazon when you’re not paying several hundred bucks. I’d hazard the megapixels are interpolated as well; not that you need 64mb trail camera photos anyway. Edit: This thing is great on battery; lasts for months. I use it only on video mode; it’s pretty good for the price. I find it misses some fast moving animals, or catches them late.

I've been operating a variety of trail cams in the Rocky Mountains of Canada for 10 years now. Some of those cams are getting tired and it's time to look at some new ones. I bought this cam and set it up in my back yard where I've been feeding deer forever. I'm glad I did because the old cams were pretty easy to operate but this cam is unbelievable. With the setting on this cam you can do a lot more and the quality of the pics and videos are amazing. I also bought secured boxes because the black and grizzly bears are hard on the cams but they can handle it in secured boxes with python cables.
