Customer Review

Ultra Sport, a brand name, which does not necessarily match this wild or surveillance camera. Since it tends to action / Sportcams.

This type surveillance cameras has been previously developed for wildlife watching and can be found in many wallows, wild fields, etc. in German forests.
Times change, people also and so this type of camera is now used also for monitoring of land and buildings.

The legislation is really clear. Unless you mitfilmen your neighbors or public roads is permitted on your property, but really should not be taken unknowingly also the family member. This is also true for the forest walkers, the hunters after the visit of roe deer stores to its SD card So do not talk about it.

The game and Hausüberwachungsset comes well packaged. In response I could not find the white box with the push coating however.

With the included 16GB SD card and the 8 brand batteries (Alkaline AA) Camera for product testing is fortunately can be used immediately. But neither the manual nor in the Amazon description indicate whether the SD card in the normal purchasing also belongs and the guide says no batteries enclosed. So Pro Ready can be relative. The Ultra Sport Homepage knows the camera is not.

INSTRUCTIONS:
As it is for many to a piece of little-known technique, detailed guidance is especially important.

With this manual you have to first of all a bit busy, until they come off naturally.

What also confused: The camera has a marked Funkmast switches and noisy image description also a GPRS slide further but describe nothing and apparently there is a model with opponent back wall, which is with GPRS equipped (mobile network) This has in any case no cellular connection, which is used for image transfer to the smartphone in real time with other game cameras.

After a bit of trying to get along well with the features of this surveillance camera.
,
,
The first use:
Inserting batteries and SD and already first shots are possible.

But sure to try the camera at home a few days of the operation and to meet the various functions. The settings should you make at home for the particular application at rest. Outside in the area they should then only have to be turned on.

To this end, the nice big switch is unfortunately behind the rear wall, the fold-away floor, even better exterior side, it would be more practical, since the camera does not need to be refitted.

The menu is operated via the buttons on the back.

The acceptable rear wall, which also serves for mounting the camera using the supplied strap is equipped with 4 additional batteries increase the runtime, so be switched to 4 internal batteries in parallel.

After only a few times remove the back cover I managed to bend one of the contacts. Here, then, must be gewerkelt quite careful about what might not be so easy out there even in the cold.

Some wild cameras have the front screen, which facilitates the alignment, or it is a laser available, featuring the image center. Both is not here and so the alignment is possibly somewhat more complicated.

Application and orientation:
Is mounted on the camera using the supplied tie-down strap tree (a dark-olive green would be the way more inconspicuous than a black and stretch good can not be the strap). A security cable is not provided.

Furthermore, a tripod mount is available on the ground.

The bottom of the camera (access to 4 batteries and SD card) is closed over a thick thumbscrew. If it were otherwise constructed at the camera can simply put on the shelf. So must be placed on one side something underneath.

Unfortunately, the soil has an error. The rubber seal is glued and sitting as opposed to the rear wall not in a groove. In my test camera they squeezed when closing the door out to the side.

As an addendum, I can now confirm that the camera really is waterproof. I had not been paying attention and they installed in the area of ​​a water outlet of a canopy

The photos and videos:
On the day / in the light:
Dailies are sharp and well exposed outside as usually indoors, are difficult shots with shade and sun in an image.
With dailies triggering the camera is completely invisible, you think only that do not work. Movements are possible blurring.
Due to the shutter lag is sometimes not in the picture / video.

At night / in the dark:
The night shots outside to show a very large illuminated environment. This (clear) LED-type has a very long range. The disadvantage is, it is visible.
There is a short red flash (with videos it lights while the selected recording time). This is the camera at dusk and at night, of course, clearly visible.

The game does not bother, the human visitors already, missing only the sign taking me with.

For indoor use in homes, the camera is not suitable at night. Although half of the LEDs can be turned off, all recordings are outshone white. In large halls but it works.
,
,
A few more words about the LEDs:
These clear in appearance of the camera LEDs emit light in an infrared region, which is just visible. The LEDs glow weakly reddish. The game sees not, the man indeed. Advantage of LEDs is, they are strong, far ausleuchtend (up to 50m).

Another LED type are black LEDs (such as immediately recognizable to the camera).
These operate in a waveband, which the eye can no longer perceive, they are completely invisible.
Disadvantage wide illumination is not possible (10 / 15m) and only black and white images at night are possible.

Exactly this type I would like to advise you, however, because what good is it if the visitors recognize the camera at the reception and it is incorporated. Black and white images at night ranging from completely and how to show my other game cameras are the best recordings evaluable (also faces).

Ultra sports, this camera also identical with black LEDs.

The USB port on the camera used to looking at the photos, if you have no SD card reader, on the other hand is an SD card reader duty, because who wants to dismantle the camera again.
,
,
The battery consumption:
According to the manual, a set for months is sufficient.
However, this only applies to standby. And pictures are taken, especially videos Night shrinks the battery life when a lot of traffic.

External power supply can be connected, however, can then penetrate moisture from below, unless Ultrasport soon offer accessories with a special plug.

The camera works with 4 batteries, serve the other 4 in parallel, only the increase in capacity.

Lithium AA batteries (Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA are in my opinion the best current) must be used in the winter because they are cold-resistant, but also keep in the summer much longer. The price is, however, at about 10.- for 8 pieces.
,
,
CONCLUSION:
The wild or surveillance camera is reliable and provides a day very good shots inside and outside.
Night indoor shots are completely outshone, though outside the camera takes (compared with wild cameras with black LEDs) an extremely large environment on.

The Flash is visible and who does not have to monitor large areas, should choose the version with black LEDs.

The instructions might be understandable, because for many it is the first camera of this type. The GPRS have to be revised.

Should make improvements Ultrasport the seal of the bottom flap.

++ Good daytime color
++ Quickly ready to fire
++ Good long-range infrared night shooting outdoors
++ Work the camera in the day not to notice
+ Works out properly (inside only during the day)
++ Normal large SD card (so no fiddly microSD)

without Rating: Accessories such as steel housing, solar or power supplies with waterproof connectors missing

(-) Visible red illumination of the LEDs
