Creative XP Cellular Trail Cameras for Capturing Wildlife Photos and Videos

Robert P.Robert P.: Company good to warranty and responsive to email. My original on camera had a “unconditional lifetime “ warranty and they honored it promptly. Ease of setup for camera is a breeze. So nice receiving pics via texts. Amazing the distance photos being taken day and night. I’ve a SPYPOINT that does pretty good but I’m likely to purchase another Creative XP if needed.
Edited December 2023: After extensive usage of this product on two Creative XP cameras, I can say I’m utterly disappointed in the transmission of photos. I was unaware of the poor transmission until someone had taken my camera which was later retrieved. I was amazed with how many excellent quality images were on the SD card but never sent to my phone. After becoming aware of this technical issue I’d began further testing and determined that these cameras are not worth having if expecting to receive on your phone via cellular transmission. I will say the camera takes great pics. Just not reliable for the purpose designed for.

Ben BergBen Berg: Very easy to set up and if you can't figure it out, the customer service is amazing. I used the SimHero included (they just started doing this, before they included an AT&T sim card) and it's GREAT - it comes preloaded with 500 photos and their cheapest plan costs $7. The camera still works with AT&T but I'm using SimHero - it has the same signal as AT&T or T-Mobile.

My main interest is IR photos/clips of our vacation resident wild hedgehog. The range of settings makes for a very versatile camera, especially so at this price. I have a SpyPoint camera as well but the night vision photos aren't as great and we don't always receive the photos on our phone which is important for me considering that the camera is 4 hours away.

1st night I got nothing! Maybe the memory card wasn't set up correctly, after a few manual exposures, I tried again and it worked. I've now used it for a few nights and come to the following conclusions. For fast moving objects (hedgehogs are surprisingly fast) if set to Image + Video, by the time the camera has taken the photo and is ready for video there is nothing there. I got much better results with video only or...

G.JasminG.Jasmin: Excellent images, easy to use, reliable. I purchased 4 cameras, all similar-looking but different brands, for use as home security in an emergency situation -- so it wasn't wildlife I was looking to capture with it, but a dodgy builder who had threatened to come to the house and break in.

The CreativeXP PRO3 was one of the 4 cams I bought and, although at face value they all look similar, I found this particular one was more functional and user-friendly too. I managed to set this one up faster and it had more reliable results so that just showed me that I'd correctly interpreted the user guide -- whereas some others were very hit and miss - their online manual is in perfect English with photos and everything.

The images are extremely clear, and the camera is easily triggered by the sensors. But it's not TOO easily triggered so certainly in my case, I did not get any shots endless messages on my phone that were leaves blowing around or similar; every shot was a useful one with either a vehicle, animal or person in it.

One thing i did find amusing was finding out how many colorful but nosy birds live around my garden (no, i'm not talking about...
