Excellent Trail Camera and a Great Value
By RNSKR4U on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2022
I’ve been using trailcams for about a year now to monitor my hog trap. One of my cameras just died, so I was shopping for a replacement. After trying two different cameras, which I returned because I did not like them, I decided to try the GardePro E8 Trail Camera. I like being able to connect the trailcam to my phone to download photos and videos so I do not have to open or even touch the trailcam once it is positioned, which is why I decided to try the GardePro E8. I am happy to report that, so far, this is an excellent trailcam for the price. The setup was easy and the phone app worked great (it does not have very good reviews on Google Play Store, but I think that is because of user error rather than a problem with the app - some folks just don’t like to read instructions). The photo and video quality is very good. I have attached a short video showing both daytime and nighttime video quality (photo quality is very good as well). The video setting was at 1080P, which is not the highest setting, so the quality could be even better if I had it set to 1296P. I was especially impressed with the nighttime video quality. The lighting is excellent and far reaching – much better than any other trailcam I have used. The only downside to the camera is the field of view, which is not as wide-angle as my other trailcam, but by moving the camera a little further back I was able to get the field of view that I wanted. Time will tell how well it holds up to the hot humid rainy Florida summer weather. I’ll post an update if anything changes, but so far I highly recommend this trail camera.

A lower end model would do
By Zachary on Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2022
I expected for the price and the images on amazon that this was an above average camera and photos would be almost good enough to display (i realize this is not the intended function, but i had higher expectations). for the price and the specs it seems the pics are actually pretty grainy, but the real issues are the overly sensitive sensors. the first night it captured 79 videos and photos and there was not a single thing in the photos. by day 2 there were upwards of 700 clips. the slightest breeze or movement of a leaf seems to trigger sensor and as far as i can tell the sensors can't be made less sensitive. the other issue is that deleting requires clicking on each individual item and you can't delete groups of selected items. i try to do it on my phone but the amount of time it takes to load photos for viewing on my phone is as far as i can tell, impossible to wait for. the wifi is virtually useless because there is little need to use it if just 45 feet away and that's the distance it says (even if i am mistaken and it says 45 yards that still isn't far enough to reach from my porch to the camera which is within sight. all that said, the price and the advertising are the main issues for me. lower the price and remove wifi and false images for ads and its and its a pretty cool camera
