The packaging is complete with documentation, cables and 8 batteries. The device has a small internal memory, but you will be advised to add an SD card if you count record video.
The housing is quite robust and light weight is an asset for the carry. It is sealed by seals, to protect the electronics. The two clasps properly fulfill their role. Mounting points at the back and a strap (included) allow installing it on a pole, tree or the majority of media.
The camouflage pattern is effective in a color goes everywhere to fit the majority of environments: greenfield shrubs trunk full mossy forest, sparse vegetation at altitude ...
The settings are easy to use, practically a button function.
The reaction time is correct but the sensor means is seen for the last picture nocturnal technologies. Do not expect to achieve high-resolution images for printing posters you burn a DVD or natural history. This device is, however, perfectly adapted to monitor wildlife that pass in one area and conduct observation clichés. Preparations one can think for hunting or for a photo report, observation of animals, to see who rode around a henhouse ...
Very good points on the battery life, standby mode is excellent.
Nothing to say about sealing, but flat on exposure of cells and settings once the open device: if it rains, the interior will be tempered. I would have preferred a double opening: a watertight access to settings and access to all the electronic parts (memory card, batteries).
Reliability good air, even though I would have liked a bigger cable between the power system and the camera part. Careful not or trip the wire with gloves in the dark.
The biggest problem of this device comes from its not working ... when tracking by animals, he can surprise them with good efficiency, but by the malicious bipeds. Install it where there is no risk of you fly.
Indeed, the monitoring aspect for security purposes seems inappropriate: the housing can be stolen or broken if it is spotted. For this purpose he will have the hide and cut all lighting systems. Or even install it inside with a look outward. But dedicated hardware seems better suited to me, except in troubleshooting do not intend to transform this equipment surveillance camera.
In the end, the device is not bad, with some important limitations that reduce the use for very limited sectors. And the price is a little high if you just wish to learn about the wildlife monitoring, because if one hangs the next step will be the envy of beautiful shots, what comes out of the scope of this unit . However, for simple monitoring of the passage of animals, it is a good camera at an affordable price or even a backup system reinforcement in other cases more efficient in terms of image sharpness.
