The camera takes good photos and videos. But even if the batteries are no longer completely full, it switches off. It is sufficient already, if one of the 8 batteries is weakening. Then you have every time take out and test what it could be like all batteries. I then tried it with extra batteries expensive, but that it worked even worse. I wanted to send back the Wild camera already, have me then but brought a power supply and ensure that everything is working fine. As the game camera stands behind our house, it is possible. In addition I have also brought me a small tripod, which you can simply screw on. Is operating with batteries for use in the forest in my opinion only makes sense if the observed point is not very crowded, only still images are set and the camera is not moving leaves, twigs or grass fires by constantly. What is the functionality of the camera in strong frost, I do not know. So 2 points from the lack of power and because the same device 30, - was conveniently offered at a known discounter.
