Very pleasantly surprised!
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I bought this camera after reading the reviews. The price was right and i wanted a camera to use in my garden as i thought i might have rats active. The specs looked good compared to other cameras 3 times the price and it seemed to have all of the features you would like to have on a nature camera. I have used it over the last week and have captured what i thought RATS! in my garden. I was very impressed how easy the camera was to use straight out of the box and to be honest once i had played with it i could have just opened it put a memory card in and just started recording videos although having a picture taken too is a very nice addition. I like the fact that you don't need a computer to watch the video's and photos back as the internal screen is bright and large enough to review what you have captured. the menu's and functions are simple to navigate and switch on and off and by simply plugging into a laptop or computer you can copy them off the camera without any problem. The picture quality in both night and day time vision is amazing with images very crisp and clear and it records sound too which is great feature to have. I also particularly like the fact that you can add a tripod as there is a screw thread on the bottom and i will be purchasing a adjustable grabbing tripod for it so i can attach it to trees and fences in the future as this will reduce the risk of it falling over in the wind. It does come with a easy to use strap but while this works well it is limited in what you can attach it to. The camera requires 8 aa batteries to operate it but these are internally housed and the battery life has been great for the use i have had of the camera and i am sure you could buy rechargeable ones to make this more cost effective over the long term. The only other purchase is a micro sd card which you will need to store any number of pictures or videos on. luckily i already had one from an old phone which worked great. In summary this is a lovely piece of kit well made and works flawlessly so what more would you want and its waterproof also which is luckily with me living in the North West of England. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for one!

brilliant little night time camera for the price
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Review of TOGAURD H40-1 Trail/Security CameraPackage contents: The package contents includes• Camera• Instruction manual• USB cable• Mounting strap• Wall mount and screwsWhat you will need to supply to use the camera• 8x LR6 (AA) batteries. Although you can use just 4xLR6 if you want to• 1x Micro SD memory card. Class 6 or higher up to 32GBThere is a 3 position on off switch which. Off, setup, on. To set up the camera to how you want it to operate slide the switch to ‘setup’ position and go through the settings to set the picture/video quality, intervals between taking pictures, trigger sensitivity, photo/video mode etc.When you’re done set the switch to ‘on’ position and away you go.Pictures in daylight are colour, pictures at night are black and white using the cameras 42 infra-red LED’s. Same with videos.If you set it to video and photo mode it will take a photo followed by a video of the time length you stipulate in settings.Basically setting the camera up is simple and logical even to someone like me who has no experience in photography.The camera seems to be quite robust with the inside workings protected but a rigid plastic outer covering.The mount provided can be screwed to a suitable surface and is connected to the camera via a tripod screw fit, the camera swivels to whatever position you require. You can use your own tripod if you wish. The strap provided will secure the camera to a tree or post.Overall I am impressed with the camera’s ease of use and rugged build quality.The quality of the pictures it takes is down to you. Obviously the higher the picture resolution the more space it takes up on the memory card highest resolution for pictures is 5376x3024 lowest is 1280x720 and there are a total of 6 different resolutions to choose from. Video resolutions range from1920 – 640x480 with 4 different settings. Audio recording is also available and can be turned on or off in settings. The lens is a wide angle 120°There is also a LCD screen to preview your pictures/videos in the field and to set up your field of view with.The claimed infra-red range is an impressive 72 feetThe manufacturer claims the batteries (8 number) will take 50 photos every day for 6 months.The instruction manual is ok at best but anyone who is familiar with digital cameras will find most settings self-explanatory. After 15 minutes I was completely ofay with its operation and use.For the price you get a lot of bang for your buck making it an affordable little piece of kit to play around with and to see what goes on in your garden when you’re not around. It has other uses as a security camera too, monitoring any comings and goings anywhere on or around your property such as unwelcome intruders, delivery drivers etc. The water resistant camera can be located in any outdoor situation unobtrusively to monitor the comings and goings of people or animals. The camera is camouflaged coloured and small so is easily hidden from view. The thing that sets this apart using it as a security camera is that it is battery powered therefore can be placed independently from a power source meaning that it can go right down the end of your property without the need of an electrical supply to it.Files can be write protected to prevent overwriting and are date and time stamped.The camera can also be set to only be active, in whatever mode you have set it up in, at certain times of the day so you don’t fill the memory card with things you don’t want. And will preserve battery life too.Time lapse is also supported so if you want to take a photo, at set intervals, of say flowers blooming, or the construction of something in various stages, you can.All in all it’s quite a versatile piece of kit with many uses, not just to see what is destroying your plants at night or eating the food you put out for hedgehogs but to monitor any comings and goings in or around your property.Results:I set the camera up in a friend’s garden to observe its secret nocturnal life. I set the timer to activate the camera from midnight-5am and to take two photos and a 15 second video every time the sensor was triggered. I kept the video and photo quality settings as they were when I received the camera. I left it for a period of 4 nights. My friend’s predictions of what would be captured were correct. A neighbouring cat was a frequent visitor. The quality of the photos and videos were very good and I am very pleased with the results. One word of warning here is this, firstly I set the camera up in my car, pointing it toward and area of trees and grass because I simply didn’t want the camera’s infrared sensor to give away the camera’s location and get stolen, only to realise that when I found, nothing captured, that of course infrared does not see through glass. I hope this review is of some use to people wishing to purchase the camera

very good for the price
Quick initial review after only a few days use. I recommend to actually read the manual (and overlook the minor translation issues), as it then becomes easy to use. Not that the device is quirky or anything, but instead the whole "user experience" is quite smooth if you do read the manual first. Nothing appears to have been lost in translation. The camera works a treat. And, it really is super useful to have the small built in screen with which to quickly review (video and audio) any clips, i.e. there is no need to take the camera back to your computer to check the contents if nothing notable has happened. I've never had a motion and night vision monitor camera before, so I don't have a benchmark, but I'm really happy with it. Now I just need the rat(s) to re-appear, even though I don't want them to, but I need them to so that I can start to attempt to block.

Works well in both low light and in the morning
Brought this to keep an eye on my kittens. They seemed to be running around a lot more and I needed a camera which would only come on when it detected movement.This was perfect because you can easily mount it with the included mount and its adjustable so you can either have a photo only mode or a variable length video.Once installed I've been monitoring my kittens to see what they get up to! And I have to say this has caught them messing about on the stairs more than once! Mom has also been caught a few times but since they've started using the stairs they've been getting a lot more mischievous. The footage will definitely be remembered by the whole family!
