GardePro A3S 2-Pack Trail Camera (Non-Cellular, Non-WiFi), 64MP Photo & 1296P HD Video, 0.1s Trigger, 100ft No-Glow Night Vision, Motion Activated Wildlife Camera

This Is A Truly Outstanding trailcam And Better than Most At twice the Price . There Seems To Be A lot Of Confusion Over The Field Of View. There Are 2. The Motion Sensor Is Either 60 Or 120 Degs With The Side Sensors On And The camera Lense FOV That's 63 Degs. That Causes A Telephoto Effect. So If You're Doing A Wide Target Area Move The Cam Back Some And Do A Detection Test. Both My Cameras Had The Video Problem ( A freeze Frame Picture & 30 Sec Audio About 60 % Of The time) . I Emailed Support & They Sent Me An Email With The New Firmware Update Attached. You download The Update , Drop It In An SD Card , Follow The Inst In The Email And You're Good To Go. The Update Also Added The Picture +Video Mode. The Picture & Video quality Is Outstanding . Its Crisp & Sharp. The IR LEDs vary In Output To Prevent Whiteout Which Is Great But If There Is A Close Reflecting Object Like A Tree In The Foreground The Rest Will Be Darker. This Cam Will light Up An Area 75 Ft Away Like High Noon In B+W Or Give Perfect Exposure On A Deer Face At 5 Ft With A Dark Background. The Cam Also Has A 3rd Mode At Dusk & Dawn. A Special Sensor & Sony Software Give Another 30 Mins Or So Of Extended Daylight Color Video. Not As Good As The Normal Day Vids But The A3s The Only One I Know Of With This Goody. Battery Life & Storage - The Over 3 Mon Standby Batt Life Is Fine But Unless You're Tracking Snow Lepards Or Bigfoot And Can Wait 3 Months Why. The Point Is With Most Every Goody It Is Low Use . On The Other Hand On 20MP & 1080 FHD Video It A Memory Hog. ( HD Takes Space) The Cam Will Take SD Cards Up To 128 Gig. However 8 AA Batteries Will Only Fill About 32 Gig (That's About 250-300 1Min HD Vids) If You Have It Set On A Feed Station Looking For That Special Buck That May Be About 4 Days. If You Want To Go To 64 Or 128 Gig Cards You Need An External 12V Battery And A Plug In That's 4MM (Yellow Tip) (Important - Do Not Get The 90 Deg Plug In - They Don't Go In Far Enough To Make Good Contact - Will Fall Out & You'll Be Un Happy. Also Put In The 8 Batteries - It Will Keep Your Presets During Trans And Is A Backup If Some Coon Pulls Your Power Plug. - Amazon Has The Stealthcam Battery Box Under "Batteries" And I Think It has A 4mm (Yellow Tip) Plug. I've Been Running 2 A3s 24/7 For The Last 3 Months I Just Ordered Another.

(The attached image is cropped way down, not the full frame) Great camera, especially in daylight, but it also works well in the dark (out to maybe 50 feet, after that it falls off pretty hard). In daylight its good generally, it does suffer with harsh contrast, try to place it such that the light is fairly even in the scene. Don't get fooled into caring that it can do big megapixels.. it doesn't matter.. The quality of the lens is such that anything over about 4mp is wasting space on your card... I can not see the difference between 4mp and 16mp - it simply doesn't have fine enough optics for that kind of sensor resolution to matter. Just the same, it takes pretty good photos considering what it is and the price. Motion detection is very good, doesn't false too much (if there is water in the scene all bets are off!).. Motion detection at night is really good, very few falses. Can't be beat for the price.. Simple, reliable and not too expensive.

This 2 pack waterproof trail camera is awesome. I use these for deer hunting and they work great. The video and picture quality is very good, I'm not expecting movie theater quality here. I just want relative good quality photos and videos to identify wild animals on public property. I paired the cameras with 64GB memory cards and it is more than enough space to record movement. Night vision is also pretty impressive and works well enough to get video confirmation on legal animals to hunt. My only complaint is the size of the clips to secure the camera to a tree/post are very small. A belt style lock will work fine, but not enough room to fit a small size cable to secure the camera on public land. REQUIRES 8 x AA batteries

First: I received nothing for this review. This is important as many, many of the cheaper, Chinese "brand" cameras get their good reviews by bribing people to take down bad ones with free stuff. I own/have owned probably about 15 trail cameras and have had them out in the woods in both freezing temperatures and 100+ degrees and 100% humidity. Except for this brand and the expensive American brands (Browning), they all break fairly quickly. Putting a camera in a great spot and coming back weeks later to find the camera took zero pictures is the ultimate bummer. Don't buy bs like "wosoda" and "wosports". It will fail, quickly. This camera is affordable, reliable, packed with features, super easy to use and takes absolutely amazing footage. The night time stuff is remarkable, and better than any other camera I have-- including a 200 dollar Browning. I use my cameras to find and look at cool animals, not to hunt. Hence, my needs are actually significantly GREATER. I'm not trying to locate a buck to shoot (I click right past all the stupid white tail pics), I'm looking to view smaller, faster, more interesting animals. Many cameras take such crappy footage, that these smaller animals look like little white blurs at night, or just undistinguished brown blurs during the day. This camera catches astonishingly clear, detailed, night time imagery, and crystal clear day time imagery. I've included a video of a weasel. Note you can see the tip on the tail, the face, etc. In the bobcat photo, you can see accurate depth, detail and color. Most other cameras you get a washed out, pixelated piece of garbage. If you're new to this, just trust me. I OWN 5 OF THESE AND THEY'RE ALL GREAT. This is the camera for you if you need an affordable, very high quality product.

*UPDATE* I had to update my review....this camera is amazing! I based my other review on viewing the video and pictures on the the camera screen. This weekend we downloaded them onto our laptop - wow!! Our family and friends were so impressed with the clarity of the image,color and the sound. I have added a video - it sounds like there is some sound distortion, but it is only our creek nearby. We are SO impressed with this camera! We bought this camera to see what kind of wildlife we had on our property. The 1st day we set it up, we made the mistake of putting it on the highest sensitive motion (I can't remember the exact setting name as it is not here, nor do I have the manual at my house). The motion sensors were so sensitive we had a memory card full of leaves blowing for hours! (Our fault - the directions specifically warned about that!) So, we set it on low, and checked it a week later - oh my goodness!! It was amazing! We had all kinds of elk (including babies!!) and some turkeys. Our favorite was when one of the elk came up to the camera and sniffed it! CUTE!! The picture was amazingly clear and the battery life said full even after 2 weeks. And, like I said, the 1st time used we filled a 64 GB memory card! We are extremely happy with this purchase and are planning on buying another one for our gate area. It is very easy to set up and use. We LOVE the fact that we can check the pictures right in the woods instead of having to take it back and download it onto a phone or computer. Great camera for a great price!

Nice product. Easy to use

I received my two pack of GradePro trail cameras (model #A35) on January 28, 2025. I had similar cameras prior and set the two cameras up with ease a few days later. The quality seemed good and as I noted prior the setup went quick and easy. Throughout February 2025, I used the cameras several times and they worked as advertised. The picture quality was pretty good although the video playback mode did not always work. On March 31, 2025, I pulled the SD card out of what I call camera "A-1" and found moisture had somehow entered the camera and fogged up the light and the camera lens (see picture). I viewed the videos on the SD card and the view is obstructed due to the water intrusion. I inspected the rubber seal, and it was intact and there was no debris present that would have caused the "weather tight" seal to fail. I live in Southern Oregon, and we have had rain in the last month but nothing extreme that should have caused the camera to fail. Unfortunately, the return window on the GradePro cameras closed on February 27, 2025. These cameras were not hugely expensive but should not have failed after less than 3 months. I understand the rubber seal deteriorating over a period of time, but failure after less than 3 months is unacceptable. Fellow outdoor enthusiasts do yourselves a favor and spend a few more bucks and get a higher quality camera that will last several seasons. I would have given the cameras at least a 4.5 star review had the seal not failed. What good is trail camera if the "weather tight" seal fails? It's not! Disappointed in Oregon, Johnny M.

After three attempts and getting no pictures I was about to return this camera. The problem turned out to be the SD card. The camera thought it was full even though there were no files on the card. Since this was a card from a different camera I then formatted it using the camera’s menu. Still no luck. Then we discovered when you use the camera to format a card it copies the owners manual onto the sd card using up the space. We next formatted it using a computer and now we get photos. You have to go into the menu to discover the camera does not like the sd card. There is no error message but it won’t take any pictures. I was using a 32 gb card. Now that we finally solved the problem we will keep the camera. Other than that the menu is easy to use and it takes great pictures and videos. My only other complaint is the view window is on the inside of the hinged door. You can use it to look at photos but if you want to see what the camera sees to aim it the issue is that since the door is hinged you won’t be seeing the same view as when the door is closed. If the camera is attached to something this makes aiming with the screen impossible. If you use an external power supply you have to unplug the wire to open the camera. Doing that makes the camera forget time and date. This is a major stupid design flaw.
