Glad you found my video helpful. Sorry for the late reply- I’m just away at the moment. I suppose you get to the point where the camera has started its WiFi and then has the grey cross which you have selected. Then it is beaming out the WiFi. Go to your camera’s wifi setting (I appreciate you are at this stage) and U suppose this is where the camera is not appearing. It happens to me at time and I go through the routine again till it does. There is a possibility that your iPhone is connected to your strong home WiFi and that may be stropping it looking for another WiFi. Try turning off your phone’s WiFi. Then go through the routine with the camera and when you get to the point it’s sending out a signal - go from the app to WiFi settings and let your phone start looking for WiFi. There’s a good chance it will find your home WiFi and the camera WiFi. If that doesn’t work try being out of range of your home WiFi and see if it works. I’ve found once you get it to work once then it’ll do it easily the next time. Bear in mind, there is a chance that the camera’s WiFi might not show up as TC07 - it might say something else! Whatever is listed - select it 😀 I presume you are using the correct app as there are different apps for the various trail cameras. I think the TC07 uses the Game Camera Pro app but I’m away at the moment so can’t check. Good luck - it’s a good camera.

@@paultreviews Thank you Paul, for these detailed instructions, you given me something to try. Peace. Steven.

Sorry to hear that. Not quite sure what you mean by PR interval Y My T300 is out in the woods at the moment so can’t go through it with you but I will check when I get it back - but that won’t be till mid February unfortunately.

Excellent- I’ll bet your hedgehog appreciates your kindness. They do love to drink after a meal! 👍

@ Thanks for the reply. Food and water was provided each evening for mum and two babies. We loved seeing them.

It certainly was - 👍

Hi, you raise some very interesting points. The camera has a decent internal battery which is charged up by USB. This battery will last a fair time so if you are able to retrieve the camera to charge it up again then that might do. The solar panel is quite substantial in size and would charge the camera even in overcast weather - but of course nothing like as well as in sunshine. I would recommend the T180, CY95 for cameras that have solar panels, internal battery plus facility for adding back up batteries for when the internal battery runs out. I have reviewed both those cameras. The WiFi on these cameras is a local WiFi to your smartphone - I use this facility when close to my cameras to accurately position them, so I don’t know the maximum range - I seem to remember the manuals usually state something like 65 feet. None of the cameras I have use the Internet. If you do want one that is cellular, then you would indeed need to purchase a plan with a SIM card.

As a thought - how about connecting a small powerbank to extend the time the camera can spend ‘in the wild’

Thank you - glad you found my video useful. I’m afraid I can’t see how to adjust or stop the red light - sorry.

@paultreviews Cheers, Paul 👍

Thank you 👍

That’s a good question. If you check through the comments I made an in-depth reply to just this question. The answer depends on how you want to use it. Do you need back up power? A really compact camera? The absolute best video quality possible? Prefer to deal with full-size SD card rather than the micro cards? For the first two, the T180 would be better. With my cameras I have found the T180 to be a bit more sensitive when detecting wildlife. Don’t know whether that’s just my cameras.

Sorry to hear the camera hasn’t performed as you required. Trail cameras are fantastic when used as trail cameras but terrible as security cameras.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Suet block is a great choice. Once the birds find it they’ll be regulars - but you have to be patient as they can take time to get confident.

Glad you’re enjoying your many trail cameras Cliff! That’s a nuisance if at times your cards don’t show the videos on the computer. I know you’ll have done this but I presume you are formatting the cards in the trail cameras once you want to delete the videos? That’s interesting you can only register 5 cameras on the app. I have a number of cameras but some use a different app so I never reach 5. Nice to hear they work in your Canadian Winters! Thank you for sharing your observations and tips. Cheers, Paul

They’ll take sunflower hearts from a feeder and also hover and peck at suet. When I put up a hanging half coconut of suet they’ll hang onto it OK. They’re actually very dexterous flyers as they’re related to flycatchers.

@paultreviews thanks

Mine stayed around for two years - it could have been longer but I went away on holiday and it wasn’t in the garden when I got back…think it moved next door! Robins will easily feed from hanging feeders.

I’m pleased my video has given you some ideas. As you have fields behind you, you might get some ‘unusual’ birds. The pheasants are characters. I have one most Winters, he hides behind a really small bush when I come out - thinks I can’t see him! Pokes his head out to see if I’ve gone and then checks to see what I’ve left out for him. Enjoy discovering the birds in your vicinity.

Caught the pheasant peeping round the gate to see where i was when i went in for more seeds😂

🤣👍 hilarious!

Can i ask im making a mealworm feeder for the robins is it advisable to put drain holes in it or leave it so the worms stay wet sorry to pester you about this

Hi, I’m always happy to help. Definitely have drain holes otherwise the mealworms might get soggy and go bad. I’d only put a few out so they are eaten quite quickly.

I’ve had the T180 out in all weathers and not had any problems with water or moisture ingression - in fact all my solar trail cameras have been fine in torrential rain and frost. I actually think that the solar panels help protect the camera from the rain - a little like having its own rain hat.

Did you set the password yourself or did you just use the default one? The default one is usually 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Hello Zimtfee, That is an issue I had last month. I contacted Ceyomur and they said it was because of other electrical interference in the vicinity. I tried it in the house and in the garden and had the same interference on the audio when recording manually through the camera app on the smartphone and the camera’s WiFi. It is possible that it is my strong home broadband WiFi signal which covers the house and garden. However I haven’t had this issue with other cameras although I’ve only tried it with two others. As you know, there is no interference when the camera is recording by being triggered by wildlife and the camera’s WiFi is not active. As you are doing some manual shooting look out for another ‘gotcha’ This happens with many of these 4K cameras from different manufacturers and they do note it in their manual. If you set the camera for 4K video but you start recording using the camera’s WiFi and the smartphone app, then the camera will record in 2K and not 4K Hope that’s helpful, Paul

@paultreviews Hello Paul, thank you so much for your fast and well explained reply 🙂 I will try your tip when I am back home and I wish you a nice day. Thank you! Zimtfee

You’re welcome - enjoy your new trail camera. 👍

I’m sorry you’ve had a battery fail. Always best to keep batteries at between 20% and 80% charged when not using them.

@@paultreviews So, don't leave them on the charger!

Thank you, I appreciate your message.

Glad you liked it 👍

I have had all my cameras out in -5C and they have worked OK. Of course the batteries run out faster. I haven’t experienced -10C here but I would be confident it would work but for a shorter period of time. I’d fully charge the internal battery and put in a set of fresh AA backup batteries. When it’s very cold here it’s usually sunny all day so that would top up the internal battery.

😀👍

Thank you, I am pleased it encourages you to enjoy watching and learning about birds. 👍

Thank you for letting me know 👍

Hi Loucie, isn’t that unnerving when a single word deletes the comment. I am so sorry to hear your news, I know how it hurts as the same happened to a good friend of mine a few years ago. Such a lovely, caring day and legacy you gave him. Yes, I’ve watched all your videos…the kitten and of course the hedgehog - nice to see your humour and animal videos. My hedgehogs don’t call round anymore - they may have better food elsewhere - I hope that’s the reason. All the best 🌻

@ I’m sorry that your hedgehogs aren’t visiting! I’ve only had that one visit myself. Will they be hibernating yet…? Maybe that’s the reason…? 🤔

It’s so warm still and all three hedgehogs that visit my sister’s garden are still doing so. I have been on a hedgehog Facebook group and it does seem quite common that hedgehogs vary their routine so hopefully mine are OK.

👍👍

Hiya! I’m fine thank you, been doing a lot of my ‘day job’ and working on the house. Any surprise visitors caught on the trail camera? Your cute little mouse video popped up in my feed yesterday - also the hedgehog. Hope you had a suitably scary Halloween.

I have often seen skeins of geese passing over but this was so different and spectacular. I suppose they were lower because they would be landing just 2 miles away. So nice you also hear the migration.

@@paultreviews It was spectacular indeed! When I was a child there was a very big meadow, with multiple mini-ponds, in my area. If I am now not imagining something that did not really take place (it might be wishful thinking post factum, on my part), it used to be a resting place for migrating storks, possibly geese too. Now the meadow is a "posh" housing estate, inhabited by countless "cute and trendy" dogs.

Always sad to hear about humans supplanting the natural world - I hope the migrating birds still have places to rest.

@@paultreviews It makes me sad to but perhaps such birds used to rest where my garden is now, who knows.

That’s a good point.

I am surprised at how much 'talking' and 'calling' these birds make whilst strenuously flying!

Thank you David, I appreciate you letting me know. 👍

Bonjour, J’ai des liens dans le description de tout l’équipement que j’utilise au cas où cela vous intéresserait. Au cas du trepied souple: amzn.to/3YBy6il

I am sure he'll enjoy using the trail camera - opens up a whole new nocturnal world. This is the cable I bought from Amazon amzn.to/4hmKM40

@@paultreviews I hope he does. Maybe he will convince me to embrace the technology one day. Many thanks again.

Thank you Suzanne 👍

It is a privilege being close to any wild creature. Wildlife certainly responds to being provided with food. 👍

You’re very welcome - thank you for watching.

I’m very pleased my video was helpful to you. Enjoy your new camera! 👍

Thank you - glad you enjoyed my video!
