iZEEKER Solar Trail Camera 4K 30fps 48MP, Game Camera with Night Vision Motion Activated, 2600mAh Battery, No WiFi, IP66 Waterproof with SD Card Reader Compatible with Smartphones Computers

ONE-YEAR REVIEW: Today is 1/18/25 and I now have seven of these cameras and my opinion is still the same a year later. Also, I have a couple of additional evaluations. I have never had to recharge the original solar-powered battery nor have I had to replace any of the back-up batteries in any of the cameras. The solar panel does an excellent job of keeping the power at 100%. Even in near-zero temperatures the battery performs very well. I even have kept one of the cameras set up where it manually takes a picture every 20 seconds for 16 hours per day and then plays back in a time-lapse video. The solar battery has handled it very well. Two of the cameras do take numerous pictures at the brightest time of day even without any movement. I tried adjusting those cameras in different directions regarding the travel of the sun, but they still take numerous photos. Since the battery doesn't drain as a result, that does not bother me as I can just fast forward through the pictures without wildlife. As mentioned in my previous reviews the price at which I paid is a bargain. I will review again if anything changes.UPDATED REVIEW: I like the cameras so much that I now have three and have just ordered the fourth one. The first camera was received 1-12-24, and today is 3-2-24. I've included some pictures from two of the cameras. The pictures seem crisp, especially when the weather is clear. I haven't had to change any batteries yet and that is a huge plus as far as cost. The cameras are set on "High Sensitivity" and take many pictures. I may change the sensitivity setting to "Medium" on one of the cameras at some point. I have been purchasing these cameras by clipping the 40% discount coupon off of the regular price, which makes it just under $35 each. That is incredible for a solar powered camera. The only negative thing I can really say so far is that I had one of the strap buckles break when I moved the camera to another tree and tightened it too much. The buckle is plastic and I put too much pressure on it, but I've had the same problem with several other brand cameras as well. At some point I may switch over to small ratchet straps. Again, I highly recommend this camera and will update the review again if anything changes my opinion in the future.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I have had this camera out in the woods for two weeks and several different deer, squirrels, raccoons, and a fox have showed up in the pictures. Here's what I can say so far... I have several other brands of cameras, including a cellular camera, that I have used for years and many of them still perform okay (some didn't make it much more than a year though). This camera takes decent pictures compared to my other cameras. Set-up and the initial battery charge was easy. The strap is good quality, and the overall construction of the camera appears to be strong. I'm using lithium batteries as the back-up due to cold weather and the length of time the batteries will be in the camera. A bonus is that it only takes four batteries as opposed to the eight that are required in my other cameras. Time will tell and I will update this review if my opinion changes, but I ordered another one today. The only negative I have noticed so far is that the outer edge of the nighttime pictures appears darkened. The main part of the picture is very well lit though. The bottom line is that if I can get a few years out of this camera then I will be pleased. I very seldom buy the best of anything and always use the ratings/comments before purchasing. It is too early to tell how well the solar charger works in conjunction with the built-in battery, as well as the back-up battery life. For the money it is five stars. If it was a higher priced camera then I would give it four stars. Again, I will modify my review in the future if necessary.

Have 12 of these throughout the farm, they stay out year long without needing to charge

Update- Got in contact with the company and received a full refund and they sent me a new cam for free. I was pleased with how they handled business. It was much appreciatedBought a few of these cams with the idea of not having to constantly replace batteries since these have solar power. The first week i had them out (9/11/24) the one camera only took pictures the very first day. The other 6 days it did nothing. The second cam did take pictures every day/evening during that first week but the quality was worse then the other cam that wasnt taking pictures like it was supposed to. So I bought brand new SD cards (again) and made sure to format them to the cameras per usual. Then I left both cams out from 9/24/24 until today 10/18/24. What a mistake that was. Both cameras only took pics and vids the very first day (9/24/24) and then absolutely nothing the following 3+ weeks. I also have some tactacam cell cams that are out in the same locations as these so I know deer have been standing in front of these two solar cams yet for some reason they are not taking any pictures or videos or then the very first day i put them out… so with that being said the only “pro’s” to these cams are the fact that they are solar but thats pretty worthless when they dont function properly. Not sure why they will take pics and vids when I first set them up and turn them on out in the fields…and then continue to take pics the rest of the day and night but after that first day you get nothing. What a bummer. Maybe i got a bad batch I dunno but I do not recommend these cameras at all.

I purchased this camera less than a year ago. I followed the very sparse instructions for setting it up, saw a light blink, fixed it to a post and waited a couple of days to see what it captured. Nothing, no images at all. So, with help from a relative, I got it set up again—none of the actual steps required are outlined in the “instruction booklet.” After a couple of weeks of seeing the typical blurry night pictures of deer and chipmunks in my yard, I put the camera in the basement, last fall. Recently I wanted to try it in a different place, so I got it back out, made sure it was charged, and tried again to set it. After about 30 tries with no “countdown” (I learned you must see it do this in order to be set), I took my card out and threw the entire thing into the garbage, after smashing it on the ground. That is how aggravating this device is. It should be simple, but since it is not, the instructions should actually say what has to be done to make it work. I am glad to be rid of it, would give it minus stars if I could. NOTE: UPDATE: The company reached out to me and offered a full refund. I appreciate that, and it speaks well of their customer service.

I love the solar panels, so tired of replacing batteries all the time. Great quality pictures as well. Even the night time pics are much clearer than my other cameras

These are good cameras for the price, however they have a flaw. The battery backup housing door hinge is poorly built, as seen in the pics. I had this cam less than a year.

Over a year ago I bought this trail camera thinking I would give it a try. I put a set of AA batteries in as a back up to the onboard solar charged batteries. One year later both batteries are still fully changed. Since my original purchase, I have bought 4 more cameras just like the first one and all of them work great. The menu is easy to understand and navigate. It takes a standard SD which I change about once every 2 weeks. I am very happy with this product.
