I have been searching for awhile till I found this camera, offering the options, and no wireless contract...I love pulling cards as back up and the set up was too easy for wifi connection.as it is new I am not sure about the battery life but solar will fix that... I will report on it laterGreat value on a ranch with a budget.

This camera works well just as advertised. Our garden was being eaten by unknown critters. This camera provides beautiful stills and videos of the rats that were destroying our garden. We went back onto Amazon and bought a couple of battery operated rat boxes and our problems are over. We now use these cameras both to capture fun wildlife photos and also as a security camera in our garage.

I recently purchased the KJK228 Trail Camera, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations! As an avid wildlife enthusiast, I've tried various cameras over the years, but this one truly stands out for several reasons.First off, the innovative Wi-Fi connection and APP control make it incredibly user-friendly. The dedicated "TrailCam GO" app is a game-changer, allowing me to program the camera and check photos and videos on the go without the hassle of downloading them first. The inclusion of a 64GB memory card and 8 AA batteries right out of the box is a fantastic bonus, ensuring that I was ready to start capturing moments immediately.The image quality is simply stunning. With an incredible 84MP still image resolution and the capability to shoot UHD 8K videos, I was amazed at how clear and detailed every shot was. The premium starlight optical lens truly shines, especially in low-light conditions. Speaking of low-light, the night vision feature is remarkable. The 42-piece 950nm No-Glow LED array captures crisp images and videos in complete darkness without disturbing any wildlife. It’s impressive how well the adaptive illumination technology works.I also love the fast trigger speed of 0.05 seconds and the 130° wide-angle detection. I've caught so many exciting moments that I might have otherwise missed. The camera's ability to take 1-5 photos per trigger gives me the flexibility to capture the scene the way I want. The custom camo pattern is an effective touch, making the camera blend seamlessly into its environment.Lastly, the upgrade to IP67 waterproofing gives me peace of mind knowing it can withstand various weather conditions. Having tested it in both hot and cold environments, I can confirm its durability and reliability.Overall, the KJK228 Trail Camera is an exceptional product that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone interested in wildlife photography or outdoor adventures. It’s easy to use, boasts incredible image quality, and offers great durability. It’s without a doubt a worthy investment for capturing the beauty of nature!

Pros: Comes with a memory card. Comes with batteries (8). Comes with a variety of mounting options. The app sets up rather easy.Con: It has a 5 second delay between detecting motion and taking the picture or video. To me, this is problematic. A lot -- if not most -- critters easily move in and move out of frame before the camera even takes the shot. I really thought there was something wrong with the camera because I have an older camera that was catching still photos, yet this newer, higher resolution camera wasn't registering ANY photos or videos.Contacted customer service. They responded quickly to my concerns and also informed me that the camera will not take photos while connected to the app and phone. If this was in the instructions, then I missed it. But, Customer Service was helpful.I don't know if the 5 second time lapse can be adjusted with a firmware update or if it's just how it's going to be. It takes nice clear pictures -- when it catches something in time.

Unboxed my camera today, in order to set it up/install it ahead of time as a birthday surprise for my dad. As soon as I put the batteries (that came with the camera) in, the camera settings showed the batteries were only at 60%. I thought that was odd but hoped somehow they’d magically charge or maybe it would just take time for the camera/TrailCameraGo app to register the percentage accurately.. Once I went through the camera’s settings to program everything, I mounted it to a tree using the strap and turned the camera to OFF. Several hours later (at night time) I walked out to turn it on. I logged into the TrailCam app, and it informed me my camera battery was low and would power off soon. Seconds later, camera was totally dead. So now I have a trail camera that doesn’t work, and I live an hour and a half away from any stores (where I could buy more batteries… but I should not HAVE to buy batteries! That’s why I chose this camera in the first place- because it was suppose to have everything I needed to get it up and running!) Now I will not be able to get the camera working in time for my Dad’s birthday party. So yeah. I’m bummed. And I contacted the “Help” (via chat through the Trail Cam app) and that was no help. Customer service told me, and I quote: “Your battery is not unpacked and is a new one. Battery wear and tear cannot be avoided, please replace the battery. Sorry.“In conclusion, if you’re like me, buying this camera because it’s super convenient that it comes with everything you need? DON’T. Go with a camera that either comes with WORKING batteries, or just a better quality camera and buy your own batteries to go with that. ;PI will update my review if/when I receive any satisfactory response from customer service.Update: just letting everyone know that customer service never helped.. just said that the batteries can have “normal wear and tear” from the warehouse. 🧐 So… I’m paying for a brand new product that, by the time it ships to me is at 60% and 0% functional within 24 hours. (These are not rechargeable batteries by the way.) not okay.
