Priced at just £38.49 and with some negative reviews I was not expecting too much from this new trail cam from DIGITNOW!. Once you get over the few quirks in the design this camera can in fact produce some excellent results. But what is a trail camera? A trail camera is a camera that is designed to operate unattended outdoors and to automatically capture pictures or video of anything that triggers the built-in motion detector. They are mainly used to monitor wildlife activity but could be used for security purposes also. This new model HT-001 arrived packed in an attractive mid-market product box inside of which was the camera itself, tree mount strap, USB cable, software CD and a User Guide. Although the camera itself is made of plastic and is rather lightweight (which is perhaps no drawback) build quality seems fine in general. The User Guide is large, well printed and in understandable English but has clearly been edited to remove mentions of the remote control included with other models. The camera takes four AA batteries, rather than the eight needed by most trail cams. Take note that if used intensively the batteries will quickly run down but in normal use should last several months. The batteries are housed in a compartment in the base of the unit. It has the option to use an external 6v/2A power supply (not supplied). On the front of the IP65 water-resistant camera are the lens, motion sensor, 30 LED infrared panel, status LED. On the bottom is a single retaining clip holding shut the flap which opens to reveal the battery compartment, TF card slot, USB port and AV port. Under the flap is the single control, a turret switch to select On/test/Off. It is recommended to not go straight from Off to On but to pause briefly at the middle position. On the base is a standard tripod screw aperture. There are no other controls or display panel. Because of the lack of a front opening door and control panel this camera has a smaller profile than any other trail cam I have tried and is far thinner with a rounded back better suited for tree mounting, So how you operate and configure this control free camera? The manual and Amazon page makes reference to a remote control but there is no remote included with this model. Instead, there is a CD containing a user guide and control software for various trail cam models, Opening and running the MSCONFIG app with the camera connected to your PC allows all the basic parameters to be set: timer, video length, etc. There is no way to monitor the battery life or camera settings other than by the status LED on the front of the camera. One particularly useful feature is that you do not have to choose between Video or Stills as you can set it to record both at once. Remember to format the SD card before use and before running the config app. After setup on the PC to use the camera just set the turret switch to on, position the camera and leave it to do its stuff. I was pleased and not a little surprised by the photo and video quality, too often budget trail cameras fall down here by using cheap hardware to save production costs, but not so here. The MSCONFIG app only gives the maximum video size as 720p but examining the camera video files I see they are 1440x 1080 at 15fps and the photos 4608 x 3456. The still photos look good and the video, although not great, is certainly fine for the price. I did find results rather hit and miss, sometimes the camera seemed not to have triggered as it should, although most times it was fine. The trigger speed of 1.1 seconds is slow and so time needs to be taken to position the camera to mitigate this. Try and locate it so the subject is moving towards the camera to give the device time to start working, the slow trigger speed is one place where corners have certainly been cut but it is not an insurmountable problem. Care must also be taken also to avoid false motion sensor alerts – foliage, vehicles, etc – as this will soon flatten the battery. This camera can be great fun if you have a big garden and wonder what goes on there when you are away. The results are far better than I had feared for the budget price. Professionals might look to pay more for higher quality, ease of use and remote access.
