Title: Very pleased with this camera
Review: Pleased with this item – It weathered Hurricane Milton – very sturdy and absolutely water proof. It will accommodate a large capacity memory card and that is important for me.

Title: Very happy with my purchase!
Review: Admittedly, this is my first trail/game camera, but I am very pleased with it. The Meidase Trail Camera 16MP 1080P, is performing beautifully for me so far. I’ve had the camera for almost 3 weeks now. I’ve been running it night and day the entire time with no issues. I have set the camera to use the 16MP setting for photos and 1080P for videos. I also have it set to save 20 seconds of video.After about the first 2 weeks, it was giving me a “low battery” indication on the nighttime videos where it was using the infrared LEDs for illumination. This also caused the camera to default back to 2 second videos to conserve battery life. During the day, or if my outside flood-lights are on, the camera would go back to 20 second videos. During this first 2 weeks, I would bring the camera in every 2 to 4 days, and it wasn’t till the end of the 2 weeks that I had the battery “issues”. It was not unexpected. For the past 7 days, I’ve had the camera out the entire time (fresh batteries at the start of that time) and it is still recording 20 second videos at night. So, a fresh set of 8 AA Energizer Max batteries ( https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B079GXSFPB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) will go at least one week, night and day, with the settings I’m using.The 32 Gb Sandisc card ( https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143RT8OY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) I purchased is holding quite a lot of photos & videos. After a 4-day time, windy days & blowing snow, the card was approximately 1/3 full. After this past full 7 days of use, the card was full. There were almost 500 files on the card (again, 1080P video and 16Mp photo settings). As such, I highly recommend the max-sized 32GB card, anything smaller wouldn’t really suit my needs.As I already mentioned, the camera has been out pretty much continuously for 3 weeks. This has included temperatures as low as 20°F (-7°C), snow, rain and wind. So far the camera has not flinched at these conditions. The inside of the unit has remained dry and the lenses unfogged.At this point, I would say that the only “draw-back” I have experienced with the Meidase Trail Camera is the number of “false” triggerings. As I mentioned above, it has been somewhat windy here of late and the movement of shadows and branches in the view of the camera seem to be triggering it fairly often during the day and occasionally during the night (no shadows, of course). This does give me a lot of photos and videos to sort through, but that doesn’t really take a lot of time.The video and photos attached with this are what I was going after; small animals coming to our yard. The distance from the camera to the ash tree is about 10 or 12 feet, the bunny and squirrel are, well, bunny and squirrel-sized. 😉 So this gives you a fair idea of how the pictures and videos will look like. I did reduce the size/resolution of these images to make them easier to upload & view.Overall, an excellent trail camera which is well worth the price.

Title: Cam Controlled by App’s WiFi, Not Your Own WiFi
Review: I like Meidase TrailCams. I own two P70’s (non wifi) which are located deep in the NE Minnesota wilderness. I bought this P80 camera with WiFi mistakingly thinking I could connect the TrailCam to any WiFi network and remote connect into the device to review photos or videos. This camera’s WiFi only communicates with its own app, which must be physically within a limited distance of the camera. Using the App and its WiFi connection you can view images / videos and change camera settings. However you CAN NOT do this remotely. Thus, in my situation, I will continued to physically control the cameras by manually swapping out Simm cards, and physically making any settings changes myself. Once again, I very much like Meidase cameras, but will only purchase the basic P70 device. WiFi that does not connect to my own network allowing for remote viewing and control adds little in my estimation, and will use up battery power quicker. Here in northern Minnesota with extreme cold winter temperatures, optimizing battery life is a big deal.

Title: Handy camera
Review: Easy to set up. Have not used the built-in screen, but we have reviewed on my phone many videos and pictures taken of raccoons and possums that have been digging up the yard. Thought the holes were from an armadillo until the camera id’d the culprits. First batteries lasted almost three months. Nighttime videos are well illuminated.

Title: Poorly designed
Review: I picked up this trail cam because I’m trying to see if my runaway cat is living in a nearby field. The best thing about this cam is that the picture quality is good. I haven’t used any other trail cams, so I can’t compare, but it does offer significantly higher resolution than other trail cams at the same price point.However, this trail cam has a number of notable design flaws that make it extremely frustrating to use. On the hardware side, I’m a little surprised at any piece of tech in 2020 that doesn’t include rechargeable batteries and a way to recharge the batteries without removing them. And you’ll want rechargeable batteries because this camera drains them ridiculously fast, at least when you’re recording video. Yesterday I put in fully charged batteries, and set it up in time lapse mode, to take a single photo every 30 minutes, from 11am until about 4pm. After this the battery indicator was full. I then set it up in motion capture mode, to record a 30 second video, from about 9pm until 7:30am. The camera recorded three videos: two of me putting the camera in place, and a third of a car driving by a few minutes later. In the morning the batteries were completely drained, containing almost no charge when put in a tester. Finally, there’s no backup power supply to the system’s clock, even a small watch battery. This means that the date and time reset to 2020-01-01 12:00am every time you remove the batteries.On the software side, I’m not sure how well the motion detector software works. For example, I would expect maybe 6 cars to pass by the spot where the camera was set up last night. It only detected one.Finally, the “time lapse” mode of the camera might be slightly misleading. The camera doesn’t assemble the images from this mode into a single video. Instead to captures an image (still or video, based on the settings), waits the interval set in the options, and then takes another image. The images are saved into separate files. I think calling this “interval” mode would be more a little more accurate.

Review: Good value for the money. Very user friendly set up. One complaint I had, is that is did not come with a mounting strap. Luckily I had one from an old trail cam. Also a minor complaint is that I would have preferred it if the switch had the ON and OFF setting on either side with the Set in the middle. It is too easy to accidentally slide the switch to the SET position rather than ON and end up with nothing. Currently it is OFF/ON/SET. Fairly good quality photos and video EDIT: Mounting strap found. It was in between a double layer of cardboard in the box. Luckily I had not thrown out the box. It can be easily missed. Therefore, I am upgrading my rating to a 5 star

Review: The camera takes pretty good quality photos and videos, and has excellent IR illumination at night. There is some tendency for colour photos and video to have a blue tinge to them and at the start of a video there is often a small area that flickers, but I find it fine for my purposes. I am still trying to optimize the settings – at high sensitivity it certainly can be triggered by a squirrel 15 m away, but also by moths at 2m at night.I have the impression that most such cameras operate at 12V, but this one operates at 6V with two banks of 4 AA batteries in series (= 6 V) and the banks connected in parallel. It is not necessary to have both banks full of batteries for it to operate, but, of course, the battery life is doubled if both banks are used. The battery life depends on all the usual factors – temperature and how much the camera is used, especially at night with the IR illumination. So far, I have been using rechargeable AA batteries, and they work ok and for a few days, depending on use. Lithium batteries are by all accounts more suitable, but I have not tried them yet. I recently acquired a sealed 6V lead acid battery which I connect via the DC adapter port. So far, that works well but I have not enough experience yet to determine the time between charges, though I expect several weeks.There have been some glitches with the controls – for example, if the batteries are low, it may not turn on properly (gives a repeated clicking, and no menu comes up) and it may not turn off properly until you remove a battery from each bank. Often, the first video is simply a fixed image lasting the video time – but all subsequent ones are ok. But nothing serious so far. I use good quality 32GB micro SD cards with adapters and have had zero problems.Maybe more expensive cameras have this feature, but it would be nice to have a mode where the video time updates: that is, if the video is set for 30 s, say, but motion is detected before the end, at 25 s, say, then it updates the video time by another 30 making it 55s long, for example. That way, the video will be as long as the subject is in the field of view and moving. This mode would have a settable hard upper limit on video length.In summary, a great entry level trail camera.
