New View Hunting T5 Trail Camera - Battery Life after 4 Weeks

[@blueboy1183]

So far it looks like the camera is working out well!! Enjoyed the video and update!! Thanks for sharing!!

Todd, I am keeping my fingers crossed. I am really anxious to check Jerod's camera. His has been out for 5-weeks untouched. Not sure what mode he has it in or what. The real test is how long will the batteries last, and will it continue to work after 6 months or more. I don't like that idea of a camera that will only last about 6 months or a year, and then develop some kind of issues. Like the Apeman H55's that Jerod and I have. We bought those and thought these were awesome cameras, then just after a year started having issues with them. We would set them and not check them for 6 months; battery life was good in those cameras. Then when we checked the pictures, we noticed that somewhere during that time the camera did like a reset and the date default back to whatever they programmed in it. We knew we had the date and time set correctly when we set them out. We would look at the pictures and everything was good and about halfway through we would see the date and reset to like January of whatever year. Still took pictures but not sure what did that. These cameras are in locked boxes, so we knew no one messed with them. Those cameras are still out up at camp, and they haven't been checked since we left deer camp in December. These cameras, if they do well here at home testing them, may be their replacements. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie

So far, we are pleased with them. But we will know more here by the end of December if they really are worth it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie

Juddie, Thank you for updating us on the trail camera testing situation. I admit we were not aware of the potential issue with the SD cards until we received Dan's email. After receiving feedback, we checked some of the cards and found there might indeed be compatibility issues. This could cause the camera to malfunction while still consuming battery life. Regarding the card reader not recognizing the SD cards, this is an issue we haven't encountered before. We are now testing with different card readers and hope to have results soon. We are grateful to hunters for honestly bringing these issues to our attention. We assure you that any customer encountering quality issues will receive the best after-sales service. keep listening to hunters!

So far, the battery life on mine is doing well. I checked it yesterday, a total of 5 weeks in the field, 4 weeks of shooting pic/video and I still show full battery. As for the SD card issue, I believe I have figured out the problem. I have had my Wildgame Innovations iPhone SD Card reader for several years. I believe at the time the card reader was made, the highest lever of SD cards, at the time, that it could read was a 32 gig card. I check the card read using some SD cards that I bought from our local Walmart store, and if the SD card was higher than a 32 gig, it can't read them either. SD cards technology has really developed and we are seeing cards that are 64 gig, 128 gig, 256 gig, and on and on. Older technology, like my card reader has to be replaced with a new version that is capable of reading the larger capacity SD cards. I am currently looking at getting a newer SD card reader I was shown from a fellow KZbinr that is on Amazon. I don't think it is an issue with the SD cards you provide with the camera, it is my old card reader. The SD card you provided works will in my PC. The only thing that would be nice is to include the micro-SD card adapter for those who may not have one. Thank you for watching and taking the time to respond. It does show how you care about your products. Juddie

[@newviewhunting]

@@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures Thank you for your clarification, which helped us identify the problem. The pace of technological advancement indeed far exceeds our expectations. I remember many years ago when our MP3 players only had 128MB of storage, and being able to store a few dozen songs was thrilling. Technology has made life more convenient, and it allows people to participate in hunting with better equipment, though I'm not sure if that's fair to the animals, haha. We do watch the product review videos carefully, so we can have a clear direction when improving our products.

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

@@newviewhunting thank you for replying. I was hoping you would see that it wasn’t an issue with the SD card but with my old technology card reader. Thanks so much for listening.

Camera seems to be doing good thanks for the update battery life is impressive also

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

So far, Dan, they are still working. Of course, Jerod's hasn't been checked since he put his out. His has been out now for about 5-weeks. Might try to get him to check his today, but it is supposed to be up in the 90's and I don't like being in the woods much when it is that hot. I am hoping his battery life is okay. Don't know how he has his set, if it is just pictures or if he has it in pic/video mode. I guess we will see. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie

[@scrubbusteroutdoors-yz3ct]

That camera takes clear pictures and videos. Looks like a goodn. Thanks for sharing

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

It does! Steve, I hope it lasts better than the CEYOMUR cameras that Jerod and I reviewed. I do like the quality of the images and video, and I don't think I have them on the highest settings at all. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Juddie

[@jasonbailey457]

Nice pictures and videos yal stay safe out there

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks, you too! Appreciate you watching and commenting, Jason.

[@BryansKnivesKy]

I'm pretty impressed with that trail camera! Appreciate you showing it. Hope you're having a great weekend, brother!!

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

So far so good, Bryan. Only time will tell, it has only been out now for 5 weeks. I am more interested into 5 months or a year to see how well it does. So far, I am impressed with it. Having a great weekend except for the heat!! Hope you are having a good weekend as well. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie

[@BryansKnivesKy]

@@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures Same to you Juddie!

[@ReelWVFishingandAdventures]

Seems to be a pretty good camera. I was wondering how the battery life was going to be. I may have to look at getting one. Looks like it takes pretty good pics. Thanks for sharing

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Keith, so far, I am pleased. Jerod hasn't touched his since setting it out. I am anxious to see how his is doing. Mine has been out for a month and set to pic/video mode for 3-weeks. We all know that video mode really pulls on those batteries. I am going to keep a close eye on that. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie

[@ReelWVFishingandAdventures]

@@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures The trail cam I use is nothing crazy but I can get a whole season out of the batteries if I just leave it in picture mode but video mode drains them very quickly even with quality batteries.

[@Dmowery5036]

Seems like it’s doing pretty darn good. I bought a Browning camera and it only takes Browning cards. Every other card says there’s no card inserted.

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

So far so good! After talking with Dan from Whitetail Warriors Deer Camp channel about his issue, I was a little concerned. I wanted to see after 3-weeks of pic/video how the batteries were holding up. A pic, then a video, along with audio, and the video being 10 seconds each should take a toll on batteries. I will keep a close eye on the batteries and see how it does throughout the remainder of the year. I hate when things are like proprietary, and you can only use what they want you to use. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie

[@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88]

Wow it works great for you👍. I think I may have found my problem - I think it’s there SD card. When I put it back inn, the screen tells me no card. So I put another micro card in it and it’s working fine now. I think what happened, was when I first checked it, I downloaded the pics I had on to my phone right at the camera then I put SD card back inn and didn’t look at the screen cause I herd it click inn. Closed it up and left. Came back few weeks later nothing on card and batteries dead. So brought it home and hopefully I found the problem

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Dan, so far so good. Again, only time will tell how good the camera is. We are only a month into testing. I am hoping to go to Jerod's today and check it again, and get him to check his. He hasn't checked it once since setting it out. I think this time though I am going to put one of my micro-SD cards in it. I like being able to use my card reader for my phone to see the pictures. Hopefully that is all that is wrong with yours. Keep me posted. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie

[@bkbowhunter1]

Nice video and pictures

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks, Brian. So far so good. Still a long way to go to see how well it does. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie

[@sarg304outdoors]

Hey buddy great video 🎉🎉

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Thanks, Sarg!! Hopefully this camera will be a good one. Only time will tell. Those old CEYOMUR cameras we reviewed, some didn't make it 6 months, some just a little longer. This one, so far, is doing good and the battery life seems to be okay, but it was only a month out, and 3-weeks of shooting pic/videos. We all know that the video setting is what will eat up batteries for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie

[@NorthMissouriOutdoors]

I’m having the same problem got one to try out paid for it out of my own pocket can’t download videos on any of my card reader’s had two tc 24 that does the same way

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Wow, Randy. Wonder what the deal is? I like using my Wildgame Innovations SD card reader with my phone. When we go to the woods to check cameras, put that SD card reader in my pocket with my phone and I am ready to check cameras. I actually bought some micro-SD cards, from all places, TEMU. Got a sweet deal on them, well the as the old story goes, you get what you pay for. They work, but the SD card reader won't read them, only my PC will. As I mentioned in the video, don't know if there is a difference in them from what we have here or what. It is strange. Thanks for watching and commenting. Juddie
