CEYOMUR Solar Wildlife Camera 4K 30fps, WiFi Bluetooth 68MP Trail Camera with 5200mAh Rechargeable Battery, 120° Detection Angle Night Vision Motion Activated IP66 Waterproof with 32GB Micro SD Card

The media could not be loaded. Fantastic camera for the price. easy to use, and reliable. I have been using the Ceyomur in a woods in the west of Scotland since Christmas time. The batteries are still on full charge, so the solar panel is very effective. The image quality , day and night is great. We have deer, badger and fox, all picked up up to 30m away. The deer have given the camera a few nuzzles and are not phased. The badger has given it a few sniffs and the occassional tug but the camera still performs perfectly.Two slight negatives... The fox is very wary of the IR at night. to be fair, she's wary of the camera during the day too. I have another camera which uses a less visible IR (For the fox and her cubs - That helps, but the image quality is nothing like as good - despite the same pixel resolutions! Second, the detection time is slow, Animals are sometimes only captured leaving the frame. (This is also a weakness in the other camera). Despite that, this is very impressive for the money, especially if you are leaving the camera remotely for 2 or 3 weeks at a time.

The media could not be loaded. TL;DR - For the price, great video clarity with very little motion blur, effectively indefinite battery life with the lithium + solar panel combo, and acceptable IR illumination and motion activation. An excellent back garden trail camera.I bought this camera in April 2024 to capture night time video footage of animals in my garden at night (which is mostly foxes and cats). I have previously used security cameras and cheap trail cameras powered by AA batteries, and this CY95 was better than expected and I am pleased with my purchase.The build quality of the camera is solid, and after nightly use for four months through heavy rain and heatwaves and sun, it shows almost no signs of use at all. The plastic has not degraded at all, and overall I have no concerns about the material build of the camera.The video quality is excellent for the price (about ~£80 with discounts) and I have absolutely no complaints. I note particularly that there is very little motion blur or ghosting- something that I have seen on other cams in this price range. The IR LEDs were suitably bright, and illuminate the image directly in front of the camera quite well up to about 15m or so. The image exposure was also generally good, with perhaps the slight tendency to overexpose at ranges of less than 1m (which is unavoidable really). This may depend on the angle and height of the camera.The battery is great (*see below). I've had problems with AA powered cameras because they often only use about 10% of the AA batteries before the voltage is not high enough to power them anymore. This is not an issue with this camera with the onboard lithium, and with the solar panel you could put this thing out effectively indefinitely as long as you place it in the sun. I usually remove the cameras during the daytime, but even still I only had to charge the camera once in four months.The motion activation is acceptable. It's not the most sensitive thing in the world, and the claimed 0.1s trigger time might be true but is let down by the minimum 5s PIR period. Treat it as if anywhere up to 5 seconds to activate - be sure to change this setting in the menu. It does quite well capturing sideways motion, but sometimes fails to capture motion towards or away from the camera. The activation zone is within about 8m in my garden, and can be fiddly to set up correctly - make sure not to aim the camera too high as animals can and will travel under the motion detection zone. Once properly set up, the camera caught most of the action in the garden unless it was too far away or too fast (sprinting animals were not caught). My previous experiences with low to mid range trail cameras leads me to believe this is normal for these types of sensors so I was not not disappointed.As for downsides, the wireless connectivity is not the greatest and is OK for transferring a few clips here and there, but for mass transfer of footage I recommend plugging the camera in via USB or removing the SD card. Potential buyers should note that there is a slight red glow to the IR LEDs and there is a very quiet click when the camera activates (this might be the IR filter?). For me, this was expected and the garden animals didn't care so it was not a problem, but exceptionally wary wildlife may notice these things.All in all, this camera hit all the points I desired in a trail cam: it has great night time video footage with no blur, and an onboard lithium battery with a solar panel that doesn't require AA batteries and can be used for extended periods. I own two of these now, and I can wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone looking for a reasonably priced garden trail camera!* After three months, my camera developed a battery issue. Thankfully, when I contacted customer support they were helpful and professional, and after confirming the issue and trying a firmware update, they issued me a replacement camera with no fuss. Thumbs up for the customer support from me.

The media could not be loaded. Bought this to replace an old one that succumbed to the weather after a few years of use. Was lured to this because of the nice to have features and the promise of 4k video. WellI thought at first that the 4k video file had a problem and just couldnt get it to play. I wrote an initial review as I was unhappy with this then ate humble pie as I discovered the PC couldnt process the H265 codec quick enough. The file worked fine on my smartphone. Because of this newer codec the files are smaller than my more expensive Browning SpecOps Elite but the difference is that the latter seems to be able to capture moving objects so much better and this one blurs when things move unless they are doing so slowly. The photo quality is good unless at dusk or dawn when the IR hasn't kicked in. The Inbuilt battery lasts well it appears and hasn't shifted from 100% since it has been out for the last week. I suspect that it is the wireless feature that eats the battery. There is an option to change the shutter speed but for wildlife you need the fastest so that is 1/30. I checked the metadata and some of the shots are faster than this so a bit unsure what it does. It might be that it means it wont take it any slower than that. As regards to the wireless part I downloaded the app and went through the instructions. You need to give it permission to access photos and location which tbh is unsurprising. If the trailcam is within a few feet and turned on you can fire up the app. It will ask you if it can turn on bluetooth then try and pair with the trailcam. Once done it will ask you to connect via wifi. A bit clunky but technically this is probably the only way to enable it without having wifi on all the time and draining the battery. I couldnt remember the wifi password (in the manual) so abandoned it first time and checked what it was on the trailcam. After that the darned thing wouldnt connect again via bluetooth. I ended up finding the app on my android phone, forcing a stop and clearing the data (easy to do). Then when through the setup again with the right password and it actually worked! I can no sit in the allotment greenhouse at dusk and wait for the badgers to appear. In reality I would wire up a more robust system but I guess a nice feature to have. Lastly, is the solar feature useful? Really not sure. Most trailcams are in woods out of sunlight so wont charge but it is actually a good raincover for the lens!!! Cant quite give 5* but tbh it is way better than previous cheapish trailcameras and I am now happy with the result.
