frank2757: First this is my new go to camera! I have bought two and plane to buy at least 3 more. I have no connection to the company other than as a customer. This camera works with iPhone s and Android s. The app works just fine no issues. The instructions are clear. The menu in the camera is SIMPLE! EASY! Now I thought I'd need constant WiFi service but you do not it works away from my home perfectly. I use an iPhone 11 and 12 (I have two phones with the app on both) When connecting to the camera your Bluetooth must be on. The camera screen walks you through the entire connection process. You will get a message asking you to join a WiFi connection. You say ok. Then you'll get a message asking you to allow a Bluetooth connection. Say ok and your connected to the camera. Simple!! I use it in locations where there is no WiFi. So the camera must be creating the WiFi signal. Its not the type of WiFi to surf the internet its for the camera to your phone. BTW adding a new 2nd camera is easy too. The picture quality is great. Just remember your distance farther away less light in IR. I'd like to see the company add a connection between both cameras if you have more that 1 that...

northernborn: Good value for the money. Very user friendly set up. One complaint I had, is that is did not come with a mounting strap. Luckily I had one from an old trail cam. Also a minor complaint is that I would have preferred it if the switch had the ON and OFF setting on either side with the Set in the middle. It is too easy to accidentally slide the switch to the SET position rather than ON and end up with nothing. Currently it is OFF/ON/SET. Fairly good quality photos and video EDIT: Mounting strap found. It was in between a double layer of cardboard in the box. Luckily I had not thrown out the box. It can be easily missed. Therefore, I am upgrading my rating to a 5 star

J. Arthur: I have 6 game cameras, four of which are Meidase (just bought one more to replace one from another brand). This is the best camera I have. It is easy to use and reliable. I did have a problem, but Tao from Meidase Support took care of it quickly, sending a replacement.
I love wild animals, hence the cameras. I have hundreds of videos of javalinas, deer, racoons, foxes, coyotes, skunks, people and other critters. The area behind our house is a national forest. Catching wildlife on camera is not always easy – there are so many variables involved in getting a good picture: location, time of day, position of sun, wind and nuisance animals (mostly birds) that trigger shots. Often the animals do not cooperate as they should. The use of a game camera is part science and part art. I set the camera menu for 1 photo followed a by 30 second video. I usually leave sensitivity setting on ‘medium’ and battery life is always good for 2 weeks. Sometimes either battery will deplete or memory card space will fill up beyond this point, depending on traffic. As I said, there are so many variables.
What I like about the Meidase product:
1. Good resolution
2....

CathyCathy: The media could not be loaded.  This is a very good camera and at the price it's a terrific value. Having said that, it is not without some shortcomings.

First the good:
Daytime image quality is excellent - very sharp with accurate color reproduction. Nighttime image quality is not as sharp but that is to be expected from infrared cameras.
Motion is detected at distances of at least 65 feet as specified. The deer in the attached video are about 65-70 feet from the camera.
Since being installed, the camera has been out during several snow storms, thick fog, and three heavy, wind driven rain storms with no water leakage.
Setup and configurations is easy.
Build quality is good.

Now, the not so good:
The IR lights are specified to work at distances up to 65 feet. In my experience, the actual useful range is closer to 40-50 feet that. At further...
