Awesome video, helped a ton

[@knightingalesaid]

Thanks!

[@robertbrown1876]

thanks alot i bought one at the flea market didnt have instructions so this was very helpful

[@knightingalesaid]

Great!

[@CerronethFormal]

I’ve been using these for three years now. Absolutely love them. I have 5 of them in use right now.

[@knightingalesaid]

I like them too! The batteries don’t last long though.

[@knightingalesaid]

Do you have any problems with the SD card showing the pictures or videos? Some people do.

[@bradking2615]

Glad you figured it out because I don't really like reading the instructions either 😂 evidently you didn't get the extended warranty . I have a hard time seeing smaller things also and am thinking about possibly getting some kind of small stickers for something I can remove incase something goes south while it's still under warranty. Thanks for the share

[@knightingalesaid]

Thanks for the comment!

[@RadReelingFishing]

Very helpful! I laughed out loud when you said "ask me how I know".

[@YouNoy]

Great job sir. Thank you for the how-to. I was in a low lit environment so watching someone go over the setup made things very convenient.

[@knightingalesaid]

Thanks for the comment!

[@KevinLara-z9r]

Thank you mr.gary bought one used without directions. And because of u I got it set up and in the woods.

[@darrellsparkmanjr.982]

I just got this exact camera hunted for thirty plus years and never used one. Thanks for the video made it easy for me to understand and setup. I’m old school so not good with technology.!!! Lol

[@knightingalesaid]

That’s great. Hopefully you can find out what kind of critters are roaming around your yard. Take care.

[@davidgoetz2737]

Thank u sir, nice instructions, clean language appreciated, God Bless you

Hopefully you are still doing these can you put SD card in a camera and see the pictures if so mine says no images

[@knightingalesaid]

Thanks for the comment! Good deal.

[@jeffshelton4741]

Thanks. you made it much easier than having to read directions. I bought this same camera under the Primos name.

[@knightingalesaid]

That’s awesome!

[@lonniehollifield133]

2024, i have 5 of these things, duracell batteries last 2.5 years. 1700 pics off one of the cameras and one set of batteries!! Best picture, no but good enough and if they get stolen I'm not out much.

[@knightingalesaid]

That’s awesome! That’s the way I feel about them. It’s not 4K, but you can see what’s out there. The short videos eat up my batteries. It’s cheap so if it get stolen your not out 300.00.

[@gdawg4ever119]

Just wanted to say you did a very good job with this video. You covered it all and imo did a much better job than the others I’ve watched. Thank you. Also I just gotta mention you sound just like Dennis Burkley talking 😄👍🏻

[@Jim-jg2gy]

Great video thanks. Just picked one up from walmart the other day and was wondering how to set it up. Do have a question though . Do you have to take sd card out and put in a computer to see how many images it took or does it show on camera? Thanks again

[@knightingalesaid]

Yep! You will need to put it in your computer.

[@Jim-jg2gy]

@@knightingalesaid okay thank you so much

[@colonel9990]

Very helpful review. Just bought this exact camera. Trying to catch we think a raccoon getting in our dog food down where we keep the other livestock food. Just set it up following your video. Think I've already caught it on video. I'll check tomorrow. I pretty much had set it up without reading the instruction booklet. Pretty straight forward set up. But, with your review I double checked what I had already done. Thank you for this no bull review.

[@knightingalesaid]

Thanks for the comment.

[@achosenone44]

thanks for showing me how to set up the camera very much appreciated!!! )

[@knightingalesaid]

Thanks for the comment! Good luck!

[@Brandon_Barlow]

How do you turn the camera audio on and off? Some of mine record video with audio some don’t

[@knightingalesaid]

I don’t remember a audio volume on it. I would check the file format and make sure it’s compatible with that computer.

[@gregheath3589]

Thanks for the info, I think you did a good job, again thank you

[@knightingalesaid]

You are welcome!

[@JerryHubbell-g9m]

How do you get to see pictures off Sim card rest of mine I can put in my digital camera and see all pictures this one says no images. Bought card reader and downloaded huntsman app still nothing

[@knightingalesaid]

I just always put the card in my computer and it works. I have heard of from some that some cards don’t work with it. I bought the recommended cards for it.

[@wvhunter5749]

[@jakhays2593]

Nice video I was curious about these cameras I spent 20 dollars more and got a similar Bushnell branded cam and the controls and display are almost exactly the same I wonder if they came from the same factory

[@knightingalesaid]

Who knows! They work well. The resolution could be better. For the price it’s not bad.

[@ericcharlton311]

The addresses for Bushnell and Tasco are the same.

[@chrissmith7364]

I got one of these puppies as a white elephant gift yesterday!

[@knightingalesaid]

It the long run it’s better to buy rechargeable batteries for it.

[@jamesbarrett7803]

That was very helpful I still don't know is there different size as far as big or small SIM cards I know you say there's a little SIM card in the 32 GB Trey there but you get the tray I didn't have a tray with this camera they don't come with the tray

[@knightingalesaid]

At 4:46 on the video you will see. What I have as far as the card is concerned. If you can’t find it you may have to order it.

[@twomblypublishing]

that was a great tutorial. thanks! mine is set up now!

[@knightingalesaid]

@@knightingalesaid I don't know if I'm stupid or what, but I was able to download images to my PC once.....and now I can't seem to get them to download. I'd lova a little hint on how to get this accomplished. thanks

[@fishersouthworth7134]

Great video…. Can you download those pics on an iPhone… I’m having problems getting them to my iPhone… it just shows a white jpg on my iPhone…

[@knightingalesaid]

I haven’t tried that. They are just jpegs. I would send them like a email to myself. You should have no problem opening them and saving them.

[@Cry-cry270]

Do you know if it’s comparable with 64 gb san disk? Even if it’s a 32gb trail cam??

[@Cry-cry270]

Compatable*

[@knightingalesaid]

I don’t know.

[@MichealBacon]

No it is not. The camera will take pictures but you'll get blacked out photos

[@ericcharlton311]

manual says max 32gb cards and recommends Sandisk (full size) or Sandisk (micro in adapter) memory cards

[@doyrayburn2668]

Thanks!

i got a tasco camera easy set up it takes lots of good pics i got lots of deer now in my yard i put out corn for them !!! i also got a wild game innovations camera next week i am ordering a browning camera !!

[@knightingalesaid]

That’s awesome! It’s fun to see what lurks in our yards. Raccoon and possums will also eat corn.

[@achosenone44]

@@knightingalesaid yep got a raccoon and some kind of wild cat had a vicious face on the camera

[@MikeJones-jf7lx]

Where does it show battery life? Did I miss it?

[@knightingalesaid]

I don’t remember a battery life. It just stops recording or lighting up.

[@MikeJones-jf7lx]

@@knightingalesaid that’s what I thought. I have that exact camera. It’s one of my favorites, super easy to use, but I would like a battery life reading. Thank you so much, I enjoyed your review.

[@ken5042]

I bought a bunch of these, they give you the bare essential job, you get what you pay for..Don't look for fine detailed pics, especially when the animal is moving, all you get is a blur, and when the batteries get weak, the time stamps change so that you don't get an accurate account of when the picture was taken. If you need to have a lot of cameras to cover a wide area, they will do (for the price). If you desire nice pictures, spend a little more and get a better camera. If you are only interested in seeing what is in your area, these work fine, to a point.

[@knightingalesaid]

They are base line units. They will show you what creeping around your yard and the woods. I would like to have a nice one for a bird feeder.

[@badassbees3680]

They go through batteries fast..other than that for the money you can't beat em..they do as good as my $180 Bushnell. Moultrie no,but for the money can't beat em,I leave mine out year round,some 4 yrs old now...my only complaint is flash drowns out pics sometimes.

[@John-Deere]

I got this same trail cam and it won't work with my MacBook Pro, it records in a different format so I can't view the images, I've tried three different SD Cards with the same problem. Maybe its mad for DOS operating systems?

[@knightingalesaid]

@@John-Deere I always used android with it. I have Apple too. Mac is so finicky.

[@DeniseSlack]

I have this exact same camera. Video has no sound?

[@knightingalesaid]

I don’t remember it having sound.

[@thatruthhurts1670]

I got 2 of them one works great but the latest one I bought took pictures but when I put the card in my reader the pictures started disappearing and I can’t see them I even tried formatting and everything what could I be doing wrong I even done your step by step advice

[@knightingalesaid]

The batteries don’t last real long on these. The light on it will start to give out. I use a tester on my batteries to see what the charge is. This might be your issue. Put new batteries or the ones you have from the hood camera and see. Use a dark room or closet to see how long the lights stays in or fades on the unit you have first.

[@thatruthhurts1670]

I got new batteries and my pictures are still disappearing

[@ericcharlton311]

Does the LCD display show you the cycle count of photo/video taken? Dis you access the light menu? Choices are LED (light emitting diodes), IR (infra red) and PIR (passive infra red) for what type of night illumination you prefer.

[@stephenaddair]

Mine worked great last year but I put batteries in them this year but one of them keeps taking pictures every 30 seconds

[@cardiaccuse9orng4lf82]

Can I cover the red light.

[@knightingalesaid]

Animals can’t see it. It doesn’t scare them! You won’t see anything but darkness if you do. It acts like a flashlight on the animals.

[@cardiaccuse9orng4lf82]

I want to use it to catch a water thief. I guess the one without the light would be the best bet for that.

[@stevenrankin2788]

You are correct I did not want to read the directions thank you for a well instructed video

[@knightingalesaid]

Thanks!!

[@samuri89]

Ok so i have the same exact camera and itll take pics but on video mode all the videos it takes is just a black screen. Any idea why?

[@knightingalesaid]

I dont know. I suppose you have a good SD card for it. If its to cheap it may not work. And if the batteries are almost dead it wont video well. Batteries only last a couple of weeks, unless you get the rechargeable type. At night time it will be black & white. Daylight will be in color. I use a cheap battery tester to test my batteries. Make sure your red lights are coming on to illuminate the area at night. If the battery is almost dead they wont come on for long. And you will have a dark video.

[@spencergoolsby535]

If my camera doesn’t flash white and flashes red in the dark when I wave my hand does it still work the same

[@knightingalesaid]

That should be fine.

[@armanddemers500]

cette caméra marche tu avec le détecteur de mouvement ou juste avec photo

[@ericcharlton311]

Motion activated for 1 or 3 photos or 10 second video clip

[@gamerngunz]

I have this camera but when i get all steps set up and ready to start recording pics it says (Card) instead of back to the time on the screen whats the problem??

[@gamerngunz]

And i have my sd card in right and i have formatted it to the computer first as its a new card

[@knightingalesaid]

I don’t know! Tasco recommends using SanDisk® SD and SDHC Cards (up to 8GB capacity) in this Trail Cam. Mac users have a problem seeing the pictures sometimes. Did you delete reset your camera? It seems to me that some card’s won’t work with it. I think I bought a lower GB card.

[@Carsruns]

Does this take micro or regular sd card ? Also how do you view the pics

[@elizamvaladez4786]

I use this sd microSDHC card when I bought my camera

I bought this camera a month ago working great I would check it every day and get many pictures allways delted all pictures before putting the card back in work great until lathe other day I pulled the card and no photos was taking I did everything normal and the next day I go a lot of pictures then the next day I only received two pictures and the next some of the pictures would let me click on them they took up no storage and some were the time and date was it was glitched out at the bottom now I can’t get any pictures tried changing batteries and it didn’t fix I can access the menue and the sensor pics up but the camera seems to not be taking pictures and suggestions

Great information, but the constant lip smacking is seriously annoying

[@knightingalesaid]

Let me ask you a question! Do you think there is something wrong with you? 16,000 people watched this video and no one complained, but you. The buttons on this camera make a clicking sound. There is a large clock you can’t see. It makes a loud clicking sound. I don’t smack my lips that much. Just curious!

[@cipmike1964]

I have 2 of these but the older model. They take good pictures and videos. I bought 2 Spypoint Cell Links and put them on these and turned them into cell cameras. You can get the Cell link for $35ea. if you shop around. They come will 100 pictures a month for free. If you joint their club for $100 yearly, you get 250 pictures a month on every camera you have, even if like me you have 20 cameras. They do have different plans but they are per camera. I usually do pay $8 a month for unlimited pictures during deer season only on the 2 camera that are on my feeders, since there are coons, squirrels, birds and deer eating on the corn.

[@knightingalesaid]

Thanks for the comment! That’s some good information. I’ll have to try that.
