Guardian Trail Camera Lock - Tree Mount Holder Accessory for Game Cameras

JJ & EJ: I received this camera lock, and the lock was missing the key. I emailed the manufacturer and asked them to send a key, I never heard back from them. The product is so so…customer service is subpar. Thank you. Hope this helps.

WolfBenz: This is a great trail camera, easy to set up, simple to use. The wifi connection is super slow for downloading videos, so I avoid using it, but the video quality is outstanding.

Amazon Customer: As mentioned, it’s just banding held in place by a grub screw. Very easy to break into. I went to move a tree stand I had locked up with this and forgot the Allen key. I found a stick, wedged it between the tree and banding, pried and it snapped free with minimal effort. Don’t waste your money.

Steven : They send you a key with this product which is not unique or theft proof. Anyone with T 27 Torx allen type key which also has a hole in the center can open this lock. You are better to buy metal strapping drill some holes in the center and put a lock through it or continue using a cable lock to protect your expensive trail cam. Now that I have this product, I will have to drill a hole through the metal strap and put a lock on it.

Charles Griffs: I have these on three of my cameras. Here in Arizona all of my hunting is on public land, some in areas that see a lot of foot traffic. I have heard of several cameras being stolen in the area, but mine have not been. These are light weight, easy to use, and secure. The work with cameras and with camera security boxes. I recommend you use the strap that comes with the camera to attach it to the tree, fence post, whatever, then put the camera lock strap on and tighten it down. It is a shame that the hunting community has gotten to the point where cameras are stolen, but at least with these, you can rest a little easier about leaving your camera out there.

Amazon Customer: I just got 2 of them one for each trail camera. This product is great. It is durable and definitely does its job. The banding is a little long but it's pretty easy to keep out of the way by double wrapping it around the tree or placing the extra banding underneath the trail camera. The edges of the banding can be sharp as I cut myself installing one (equivalent to a bad paper cut) so I'd recommend wearing gloves when installing them. But the possibly sharp edges definitely will help deter people from messing with the camera. All in all exceptional product, easy to use and install, and definitely durable.

chad: About the company (Gear Nation):
After having my Python lock on my trail camera defeated twice, I found the Cam Guardian. I contacted Gear Nation and asked them to send me a product so that I could test it thoroughly before purchasing one for my other cameras. Jonathan at Gear Nation was excellent to work with and always responded immediately to my emails and questions.

About the product (Cam Guardian):
The Cam Guardian is a steel band which is held secure with a tightening bolt. The tightening bolt is housed in an aluminum box to prevent tampering. I have been informed by Jonathan that future models will feature the locking bolt recessed into the aluminum block to be even more secure. I put this product through multiple tests to be sure it was as secure as it is advertised to be. I tested it compared to the other options available for trail cam security. The key is an allan wrench typle key with a unique torx style end which has a hole in it's center (think of a handcuff key) allowing a pin to be used in the head of the bolt. This feature prevents a regular hex/torx wrench being used. The key is changed frequently in the manufacturing process....
