GardePro E5S Trail Camera: 32MP 1296p HD for Wildlife & Game Tracking

AGGRWR: I bought one of these and it worked so good at such an affordable price I bought another! Great high quality pictures and video, though quality is diminished most of the time over cellular. You can request high def pics or videos over cellular but that costs more. You can always download the chips and get high quality that way too. The app is easy to use and give very quick timely notifications. I am very happy with these cameras!

JonnaJureeJonnaJuree: It's alright for the price. Doesn't hold up all that well in rain and cold out in the open but photos are pretty good unless it's foggy out. I have witnessed times when I've been in the stand watching deer eating for 30 min and it never took a pic of them. Other times, I get 800 pics/day.....idk 🙃 oh... and it costs $15/mo for unlimited photos sent to my phone. App is pretty decent but I've never used any other brand of mobile camera for comparison.

David Flint: This #8 of this camera I own, and use on my wooded trails. They have been licked by bears, bucks, and rain and snow and they each day give great pictures and videos. Even bought for my daughter, and working great.

Bethany ClawsonBethany Clawson: The media could not be loaded.  I use this game cam to see in my backyard. It works well for night photos and videos. It was a little confusing figuring out how the online part works. I like the fact that you can request which videos you get in HD. If you don’t know what you’re doing the videos seem crappy and choppy so note You do have to request the HD photos to get the good videos with sound and photos. I repeat YOU HAVE TO REQUEST HD TO GET THE FULL VIDEO WITH AUDIO LIKE I HAVE ATTACHED TO MY REVIEW, it works well, just make sure you request for HD. All in all, so far no issues. The only complaint would be battery life is a little iffy if you’re getting a lot of photos/videos, however, I will probably purchase the solar panel eventually.

The Lone Consumerist: TLDR: You're playing the cheap-stuff lottery when you buy one of these. You may get one that works, you may get one that does not. Don't get this product if consistency and reliability matters.

Good:
- Cheap
- Relatively Compact
- Seems to come with a solid antenna

Bad:
- Poor QC
- SIM Locked - You HAVE to buy their service.
- Poor Privacy - You HAVE to send all of your photos through their servers. That's sketchy, and I don't like it. Don't use this for stuff you care about.

Upon unboxing it was clear to me that this falls into the category of "cheaply made electronics". After all, what can you expect for a hundred bucks?

The main issue I had started when I tried to "activate" the camera. First, you have to download their poorly-made third-party app and hope that there's nothing nasty hidden in the software. Next, you go through a somewhat clunky "activation" process that is supposed to activate service on the SIM that is pre-installed. This is where things failed for me. After five hours went by, the app on my phone was still reporting "activating".

I used their support site to try to troubleshoot via chat, and even after...
