4 Cheap Trail Cameras on Amazon - FULL REVIEW

[@jst1moor]

Excellent “no bull” presentation. Thanks for doing this.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

You bet! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@1962riggs]

I watched your review and ended up buying 1 under $50 cameras. I purchased campak which I find absolutely wonderful. I can connect to a laptop to see my pictures or I can use the viewer on the camera. The pictures are great. Thanks for the review.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

1962riggs I appreciate the feedback! I’m happy to help!!!

[@sapotts1387]

This guy speaks my language. I need several priced good. Cant afford 5 expensive ones

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Well I hope this helps you out! Good luck this fall!

[@pastorjohn65]

Never would have thought that cameras at that price point would be that good of quality! Thank you for this review. You will allow me to get some more bang for my buck (photos)!

Im doing a school project and this helped a lot thank you so much

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Glad it helped!

[@jimamccracken5783]

VERY INFORMATIVE .. I like the fact you are brutally honest with your reports. I have friends with 400.00 trail cams and they are no better than what you tested. Keep up the great videos I really like them. I no longer hunt with a firearm but I like good deer videos. Stay safe idiots abound during hunting season.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Thanks Jim! I have no clue what someone would ever spend so much money on a single camera. I'd rather have 6 or 8 decent cameras for the same price.

[@cammacgregor9354]

After watching your AWESOME video tonight, I just ordered the newer version of the Campark from Amazon...it should be here next week. Assuming I like it, I'll probably order 10-12 more for our properties. Thank you very much for taking time to put this video on KZbin. Good Luck to you, Aaron

[@NextStepOutdoors]

They are great little cams! Thanks and good luck to you as well!

[@5mattcolour]

Got a handful of the Campark ones. They're good if you're covering a huge area and need 4 or more cameras without the risks of having them stolen. Very happy with the results.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I picked up a few more this last month. Will be making a big push to figure out some public in another state this next year and plan to just hang them high and pray that no one messes with them. Regardless, a lot better to be able to cover more ground with less financial risk out there!

[@mikemason4792]

Outstanding review. Thank you. I have bought one in the past due to price. I will purchase 2 of these.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Thanks for the comment! 🤘🏻

[@bogodproductions4712]

Great review! Without watching this video first I recently had ordered the same cameras and they are now currently out in the woods. Although I capture entirely in video mode, I basically used the same criteria when ordered on Amazon. I run a string of over 60 cameras and frankly I’m tired of people stealing them. I’m steering towards cameras with the no glow feature and cheap. I first camo them even further using caulk and paint. Using a small step ladder for added elevation, I like to cut out a cubbyhole in the side of a dead tree and cover the area using the same bark scattered on the ground. Of course I carve out the bark only the areas necessary for the sensors and lens. What an amazing difference. Of course they’re not really secure, but who cares, they’re cheap enough to risk it. I’m anxious to see how they work for me.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I appreciate it! These little cams are performing awesome still and happy to have taken the chance on them in the first place. A lot less of a hit on the wallet when you get one stolen...

[@WildwatchNature]

Cool stuff thanks for taking time to review

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I appreciate that!

[@shropshiretrailcams5020]

Thanks for this video. We're just starting out and have the Campark T20. So far it's been great. Might soon start looking at more and this video will help!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Good luck! That’s a solid little camera. Mine are still running strong.

Excellent video, appreciate it especially on the cheap cams for those of us that can't afford the expensive ones.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Thanks! I really appreciate that!

[@TheOffGridHunter]

12 MP is the new standard but I have an old moultrie I60 that takes better pics than a lot of the newer cameras and the trigger speed is pretty much perfect. Good review by the way!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

That’s awesome that the moultrie is still kicking! Thank you!

[@Nozoki]

Great reviews. A buddy of mine has problems with people dumping trash on his private drive so this is really helpful to choose a cheap camera to catch them in the act.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Exactly, this is a cheap way to monitor that. I appreciate the feedback!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Welcome aboard! I really appreciate the feedback!

[@davidhoy8997]

Thanks for that review. Last fall I undertook a study to update my inventory of trail cams. Half of them were first generation cams, the rest were purchased based on price, most were obsolete or junk. My main priority was user friendliness regarding set up / programming, the screen being a must. I ended up with a couple Zopus, a campark and a cabella’s, all under $100 ( with gift certificate for the cabella’s). I rate the Zopus the best. A simple thing like having the control labels in white on black vs black on black make a big difference in the field. The campark was similarity a good camera, but, it had the micro SD card. Good luck switching those out in the great outdoors. So, I ordered 2 of the camparks based on your work. I initially made the determination to buy US made cams, but, after viewing the options, like you, I put out a dozen or so cams and could not bring myself to by the least expensive US cam for $200. So much for my patriotism........

[@NextStepOutdoors]

You would be surprised how many camera companies are outsourced and like you said, the ones made here are expensive. I try to buy USA where I can but it would be extremely difficult to cover much area spending $200 per cam...

[@do7hemath937]

Good morning Dave. I just got my first camera and I was wondering why you said good luck changing the sd cards out in the woods. I'm thinking about buying a 4 pack of cards setting them all up and changing them out every day or 2. I'm trying to catch a thief. The camera i have has a rubber protector that you can pop out to expose the USB port, but you have to open the bottom door to take the card out and it's only 1/8" below the USB port. 🤔 Seems like they would have made it easy to change out the card instead of taking down & hooking the entire camera up to your PC.

[@charissa6648]

I have a browning $150 trail camera and a Gardepro A3 that I got for around 50-60 bucks and the Gardepro is my favorite camera. It's quality videos and photos contest with a camera almost double the price! They are a little more expensive now, like 65, but when I got it they even had bundles for 2 or 4. Should have gotten more then!!! Thank you for the extensive review! Have a Campark, but my favorite is Gardepro is my absolute favorite

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Thanks for the recommendation! I will check it out!

[@hagen-p]

Many thanks! Never had a trailcam before, got one recently (still testing it), and only now I know what can (and should) be expected from such a device.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Happy to help!

[@wildman8680]

Good review mate. Here's my opinion. Apeman brand cameras are inexpensive. But I faced are 4 out of 10 cameras mulfunctioned within few weeks of trail use. 1. Menu malfunction, 2. Auto zoom mulfinction 3. Poor night vision 4. Leaking 5. Pink glare. 6. Broken battery hinge. I wrote to Apeman manufacturer directly and they replied I can't get warranty if I do not buy directly from them. They even claimed I bought imitation Apeman. Oh man, its common we buy cams from local resellers to avoid the hassle and waiting time. Just my 2cents worth of feedback to warn would be buyers

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Yes agree on the apeman. Still happy with the other ones I tested and all are still in the rotation right now performing well.

[@davidtisch5237]

I ordered two trail cam u recommended that hybrid mode sounds cool 😎 I don’t run any vid now I leave the cam for a long time n battery life is important to me only run lithium I’m goin to run the new trail cams over scrapes on hybrid mode should be fun to watch thanks 🙏 good vid n good minded people think alike

[@NextStepOutdoors]

David Tisch scrapes will be heating up every day as we get closer to season. Nothing beats trail cam vids overlooking them. Good luck to you this fall!!!

[@IMBrute-ir7gz]

Great review! I never cease to be amazed at the advancements in today's consumer electronics. How on earth do you and your neighbors protect your vegetable gardens with all that venison prowling around?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

The flowers don't stand a chance and the veggie garden is fenced off. Fun to have wildlife around though!

This video was so helpful, thank you! I'm looking for a trail cam to watch over my garden in the back yard. We have critters, but not sure which ones were bothering the garden last year, so decided to get a couple of trail cams to watch over it. Your video has helped me to decide which one to go with. I recently purchased one of the slightly more expensive Campark trail cams (wifi/bluetooth) and wanted a less expensive one to go with it. I wasn't sure about the Campark Mini, but you helped me to decide that it would work just fine for what I need it for! So, thank you :)

I'm new to trail cams and I bought the T45 so I'm super happy to hear you say that

[@Dark30Outdoors]

Very, very good review that is practical information for people who want to use them to scout deer. I hate to see reviews that are just an unboxing because that doesn't tell us anything. Thank you for sharing this information!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Happy to help!

[@jeffw1246]

I thought about getting a couple cameras to record activity around the house, good information for someone who doesn't know a thing about those cameras, I don't have a computer so a viewing screen is a big plus.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

You can also buy SD card readers that plug into your phone that are relatively inexpensive.

[@OklahomaLoneWolf]

Great video. I have bought about 8 of the Campark’s in the last year. Love them and pretty damn cool that you can check pictures on the LCD screen and then wipe the SD card all at the tree.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

The viewing screen is real nice especially for a cheap cam like that.

[@bellasignora2668]

Thank you, this is very helpful, I didn't catch which one was your favourite, also do research best of next price bracket

[@NextStepOutdoors]

All of them aside from the apeman we’re essentially identical. The toguard was my favorite though. I have some new updated versions coming out each of the next two weeks. One is for cell cams and one for a similar test as this video but with all different cameras.

[@bellasignora2668]

Thank you so much, I will wait & make my decision then, thank you for your time

[@bellasignora2668]

Hi Aaron, how are you coming along with your latest Trail Camera test, I eagerly await your results & conclusions. I hope all this doesn't eat into to much of your Bow Hunting time, take care out there.....

[@purenkool2024]

Which External Power Supply do you use? If you decide to use one.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I normally just run lithium AA batteries in all of my non-cellular trailcams. You can run 12v batteries. When I do that, I keep the battery in a plastic field box and run the cord out of the top up to the camera.

[@purenkool2024]

Thanks for the tips. Just got a Universal Power Supply with various connectors, use 6V - 2 Amp type on my Victure Mini- trail camera here in UK.

Hi. Are you able to view the camera footage from the app when within the bluetooth or wifi range of the trail camera when it is switched to the ON position? Mine can't detect the camera wifi when I hit the wifi button when ON.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

No - these ones you cannot and to be honest, I’m not sure of any on the market currently that have that capability.

[@Jay_Rule]

@@NextStepOutdoors That sucks. Then what is the purpose of the app then? I'm waiting from the camera tech support.

[@davidhoy8997]

Nice job on this video. While recuperating fro surgery last fall, I decided to update my inventory of 10 or so trail cams most of which were antiquated and/ or junk. I was most interested in the user friendliness of the cameras as I had a few that were terrible. I settled on Zopu and a campark, both less then $100 and a cabella (gift certificate) about $150. I rate the zopu the best. Like in your comparison, there were many offerings that carried a different name but were actually the same product. Just a simple thing like having the lettering for the controls in white on a black background goes a long way compared to the black on black cams. In addition, there was an issue with the zopu. While peeling the lens protection off, it ripped in half. Likely because I did it in cold weather, zopu replaced it with minimal effort on my part. The campark is a decent camera, but, it used a micro SD card rendering it useless to me. Good luck changing out one of those in the bush. So, I ordered 2 of the campark cams you reviewed. Thanks for the assist.....

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Thanks for the feedback! If you still have the cam that takes the micro SD cards, they are really cheap. Since this video have deployed the cams in the field and have been really satisfied with their performance, especially considering the price tag.

[@Worldwide-Generosity]

Nice video. Thank you, for taking the time to create it. And, you mentioned your Husky in the videos. So, is the (Black) dog at 8:42 (right-hand side of the screen) pooping in the yard, yours too?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Absolutely. That is Fynn. He is a blue heeler/Australian shepherd mix. Best dog in the world.

[@GF_Burke]

I just got the T20 for Christmas. Just put it in the backyard. Nothing yet, but me walking to retrieve it. ha. But looks good. My thing was 'only 4 AAs', as it seems many required 8. y0 from Idaho!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Hope you like it! I have a couple away for Christmas this year. I’ve had several in the field all season and the 4 batteries have held up.

[@Kurtdog63]

Good info. Durability along with the quality of the last three would decide it for me. I have Coverts in the $125 range that have been out for 4 or 5 years and still going. I have bought cheap ones that did not even last a single season without having issues. Thanks for posting.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I appreciate the feedback. So far all are running strong. I'll report back after this year if there are any issues.

[@acanuck3267]

I've been running Apeman H55s which is a model up or two for a hair more money. I've very happy with that camera. I'm running 7 cameras and I get some awesome pics day and night. Only bad part is I have my sensitivity on one camera really high as its on an open field, as im trying to get more pics of elk further out. Takes pics of elk out to 60yards so its doing exactly what I want but I do have a lot more unnecessary wind pics doing this, but miss very few animals.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Usually there will be an indicator light that will flash when the camera is picking up motion. This allows you to walk around in front of it and test the detection area. Once you set the settings it will flash giving you a 30 sec delay before it starts taking pictures.

[@samaelmartinus3273]

Thank you. Do you know if any of these have phone alerts? Or any that do if not these and still cheap??

[@NextStepOutdoors]

None of these do. I have another video that is a cell cam review. That is more what you are looking for but none will be this cheap.

[@aladent]

Hi, thanks for the video. I just bought my 1st trail cam on Amazon. I got the updated Campark Mini 16MP 1080 HD Game Camera. (actually, I bought 3 of them). Have you tried this updated model yet? I also have one acre butting up against a wild life area on the northern fringe of Minneapolis. I have tons of wildlife in my yard, including coyotes, coydogs, turkeys and of course deer. I also have a good sized pond on the back of my property, so plenty of ducks, geese, herons, etc. How cold of temperatures will these cameras take? Do you have to take them down when it gets any certain cold temperature? Thanks!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I do not believe I've tried the other version yet. As far as temps they will function regardless of how cold from my experience. Good luck getting some cool pics of the wildlife around your yard!

[@aladent]

@@NextStepOutdoors Thanks. What memory card do you use and how much memory is enough for most situations? I saw another set up video on the Campark and the guy was advising a Class 10 Samsung Evo 4K card and he was using a 32 gig card.

I'm curious to see how durable they are and how long they hold up. Some cams seem to last alot longer than others. Great video!!

I had a muddy $30 camera and it died before even making it out of warranty . Then they want me to pay the shipping to them so I can get it replaced.

[@WildwoodTV]

Great review, refreshingly to the point, thanks 👍 I have a few cams too, Apeman reviews are due to free gifts not quality! After mine stolen I only buy cheap ones just to see what's going on in the wood. Yes they do look very similar - but the Mini ones are surprisingly good pic quality, easy to erect, long battery life and Quiet (some were so noisy). You can also get lenses for closeups.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Spareribs Wild I appreciate the feedback! Some of these cheap small cams are really getting the job done. All doing well for me in the field now too.

[@markmarsh435]

Great review! One thing I have discovered is that trigger sensitivity is highly variable. I put two cameras on the same tree and one will take three times the number of deer pictures as the other camera. Have observed this?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

From what I’ve figured out a lot of that comes down to the height on the tree/angle of the cam. There is a certain detection zone where it is more sensitive. I’d be curious to see the results if you ran the cameras on different trees at similar heights/angles.

[@bkbowhunter1]

Good review I always look on amazon for trail cams and other hunting gear I tried apeman camera last year sent it back not happy at all. New sub 👍

[@andrewilliamson6057]

I have 3 toguards like the ones in the video, the only qualm I have with them is even on low sensitivity you get a lot of branch sway and unnecessary pictures. They are very sensitive, so sensitive they pic up a squirrel about 30 yards out and trigger the camera. On the other hand you hardly ever miss a deer and you can pinpoint the settings to damn near not miss anything. I had to retire one from night time use because a wood pecker demolished my ir functions

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I haven't experienced excessive misfires. I try my best to trim any foliage in the way and have had good luck so far.

[@joelk9603]

Great review, very educational! Is the flash visible to humans when triggered to take a still photo?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Thanks Joel! The only visible light is a faint red glow on the camera while it emits an infrared flash but there is no visible "flash". Hope that makes sense.

[@WesternWild509]

Great review, man! Super convenient to have so much deer activity in your own yard!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Appreciate you taking the time to comment! Actually just moved onto 5 acres so should be able to sneak in a little hunting too! No longer in the city!

[@donbee4873]

Can I setup a couple outside around my cabin that has been broken into? Making sure they are hidden in a tree. Will these give themselves away to humans? Flashing, lights?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

They have a really dull red glow at night. If anything, I'd hang them high and the red glow could deter future break ins once they realize it is actively being monitored. I doubt they would see them though and should do the trick.

[@kiwiaabi]

Which of the 3 had the best options for numbers of pictures, or rapid fire photos? Are any of the 3 able to be locked with a phython lock? Thanks and great review!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

None of the doors are able to be locked with a python lock, unfortunately, however, all lock do the tree. The campark, letscom, and toguard all have essentially the same settings and can be customized very specifically.

I loved your review and because u did an outstanding job, I will be purchasing 3 cameras. Thank u

[@NextStepOutdoors]

That means a lot Cleveland!

[@noplot3301]

@@NextStepOutdoors Amazon is showing an upgrade to the camera you posted. Will u still get the credit if I purchase the new one? If not, please update ur links and let me know so I can order please.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

@@noplot3301 Yes I will still! I really appreciate the support!

[@TheDesertwalker]

A very well presented review and in correct English besides! Thanks. And the prices do fluctuate, don't they. I wonder if the distributors run pricing models to see what the target market will pay?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Thank you! That is an interesting thought. I bet they do!

[@dana44169]

Thanks for an honest review

[@NextStepOutdoors]

No problem!!

[@LynnDot]

Are you still liking the Campark a year later? I’d like to put some cheap trail cams around our property just to keep track of the wildlife, the quality of the video on these seemed great!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I’ve been rocking them for 3 seasons now and they are still kicking…

[@GBR1111-x2t]

I just bought one. Mini trail camera G100, by wosports. I'm satisfied with it

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I'll have to try that one

[@Gr8tLakesHuntnFish]

Do any of your suggested picks have the ability to lock the sim card up? Great video. Thanks for the review.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Yes, all of the doors lock. I'd recommend getting a pack of cheap luggage locks and using those.

[@infonesianew2024]

bro, can you record continuously without having to wait for movement to pass in front of the camera?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Responded to your other comment.

[@p.j.d.8199]

Do any of these have an on/off switch, the current one that I am using doesn't have a clearly marked on/off you hold the button in until you think it's on and sometimes when you check it you find that you didn't have it turned on. Also if they do have on off is the button on the inside or outside?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Guessing you’re running wild game innovations cams now. Super frustrating not having a designated on/off switch. All of these cams do on the inside of the door. They are clearly marked.

[@jackip.5058]

Great video and so informative! I am looking for a simple trail cam for raccoons, bobcats, and the occasional deer in my backyard. I have tried to find the Campark camera, but I cannot find it on Amazon. Since the video is a little older, are there any other inexpensive (under $50) trail cams you would recommend? Thank you!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

This one would be my go-to: amzn.to/3NfF98L

[@bhumane8642]

How do these work. Can you view from cell phone? Or do you have to go get camera? Do you need wifi or cell data? New to this

[@NextStepOutdoors]

These ones require some type of SD card reader. Most laptops have the capability, which is what i do.

[@jasonstiers6951]

Any idea of the battery life? It would be for the summer months.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I run Lithiums and they will last almost an entire year. If you are putting them over bait or minerals they will eat up the batteries quicker but I'd still imagine you could get through an entire Summer and into fall on the same set of batteries.

Hi,my friend.We are looking for reviewers to test trail cameras on Amazon. If you are interested in it, Please tell us, we will guide you to place an order and get this product for free.Thank you!

[@lincolnproffitt6754]

I bought a couple wild game extreme cameras there usually around 30-40 and they have been running strong for a year and the picture and video quality is pretty good

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I've tested a few Wildgames in that price range and either they dont have any adjustable settings or they are super not user friendly, so I've strayed away. Glad they are working out well for you though. If it's not broke, don't fix it!

[@StealthTRD]

Yea the terra extremes are good. Ive had them for years an love the video..

[@superpooper1945]

So they have flash? meaning if i use this to monitor my property, will people see flash coming out of a tree? Thanks in advance for the video and or answers!

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Yes, they would see a light red glow. If you hang them up in a tree they probably won't notice though. The apeman did not have any visible flash but quality was not nearly as good.

[@55project]

Are these trail cams Mirco sd or full size sd cards ? I would rather have the full size sd . And Good video as i was going thru what to buy to check out this season.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

They are about half and half. I’ll have to go through the Amazon pages and look up which ones are which since they are all deployed in the woods right now.

[@sierraridgereaper]

I had purchased a 2 pack of a no name brand called hollywtop from ebay for 65 last spring and they were excellent. Unfortunately I lost those 2 and 6 others in the north complex fire here in northern Ca. Unfortunately as well, those hollywtop are no longer available but after watching your review today they look exactly like those letscom you reviewed and had the same specs so Im betting they either just changed the name or like you said are made by the same mfg. I will be grabbing a few just to try them out. Thanks for the great review and video.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I appreciate the feedback. I'm happy to help.

[@osbornoutdoors8778]

Dang man all those links are already outdated. Do you plan on doing another review of the current Amazon cameras?

[@NextStepOutdoors]

I'm working on it right now!

[@osbornoutdoors8778]

@@NextStepOutdoors my personal favorite the ToGuard camera isn’t available on Amazon any longer, you have to buy it direct now. So I’m super curious to see some reviews for cameras available in 2021.

The Campark has been working for me after x2 bad apemans that would shut off, the Campark picked up a lady talking on her phone on a trail far away, pretty funny 😆

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Never know what you're going to get on cam!

[@subterfusion4005]

Got 4 camparks; second season with them this year, all working fine and still had a little battery life.

[@NextStepOutdoors]

Kelly Garrou mine are still running strong too. Planning to pick up a couple more yet. Viewing screen is a nice perk too.
