Good, User Friendly Trail Cam
I've purchased many trail cameras over the years. I purchased the Wildgame Innovations Cloak Pro 12 Invisible Flash with Batteries & SD Card, Tru Bark Camo on Amazon Prime Day and am so pleased with it.The Wildgame Innovations Cloak Pro 12 Invisible Flash with Batteries & SD Card, Tru Bark Camo trail cam comes with a 12mp memory card and AA batteries, which is such a nice bonus! Normally I get a new camera then realize I have to run to the store and buy batteries.The Wildgame Innovations Cloak Pro 12 Invisible Flash with Batteries & SD Card, Tru Bark Camo is the easiest set-up of any trail camera I've owned. Within 15 minutes of opening the package, I had it set up and mounted on a tree in my yard.The camera has both video and still shot options. The video quality isn't bad, but isn't the best I've had; it's a bit grainy. It does the job, though. I'm very satisfied with the quality of the still shots.The camera comes with 2 bungee cords to attach it to a tree. I like the bungee cords much better than the adjustable strap that all my other trail cams have.Within a couple of days, I had captured photos of a buck and a doe (see attached photos). Super fun, easy to use trail cam that comes highly recommended from this user.Happy Trails!

Good cameras when they don't malfunction; still waiting on customer service
This is a good camera, esp. given the price and its no-glow nighttime IR flash. I bought a two-pack for a low price about 3 months ago, but recently one of the cameras has stopped working. Display won't turn on and the indicator light stays solid red. Customer service is nowhere to be found.Pros:-Adjustability (choose btwn video, still; delay adjustability; burst capability; sensitivity adjustable, etc.).-Black flashCons:-The camera struggles with motion, and so many of the pics are blurry. Very often I can't even tell if a deer that's 10-20 feet away from the camera is a buck or a doe.- Customer service. I waited on hold for 40 minutes before giving up. Submitted a warranty claim on their website and an inquiry telling them about my issue via their online form. Still nothing. Bummed out because I like the cameras for the price, but it doesn't do me any good if it won't turn on and customer service won't answer me.Will update rating if WGI Customer Service responds quickly.

It's going to take a lot of pictures.
Only thing I have found to be a problem is it takes pictures when trees blow in the wind. It will detect trees blowing 80-100 ft away.

Shutter delay, giant video files, poor image quality
Excited to try out this new camera, but after using for a couple of months, I have more cons that pros:Pros: Battery life seems good. Simple to operate and pull images off the SD card. Night pictures seem decent and comparable with other cameras I've used. Held up to some monsoon rain events.Con 1: The shutter delay on this camera is too long! Most of my images showed nothing in the picture, or just the tail end leaving. Using video helped to measure the delay. Driving through on my tractor, the video starts with me in the middle with about 5 seconds to exit. That would indicate a five second delay from when it senses movement to when you get an image or video. I can find no way to adjust it and it's quite annoying.Con 2: The image quality during the day isn't really very good. Perhaps in the middle of a sunny field, but under the treeline everything is very dark and grainy until it gets dark enough to go infrared. Worse than most cameras I've used. I have plenty of blurry pictures of deer as well from the slow shutter speed in the late afternoon when shadows get long.Con 3: While the image quality isn't great, the image size with the high pixel resolution is high. 30 second video in the daylight was over 100 MB. Can fill up a card fairly quick! Just images isn't nearly as bad though.In summary, I don't plan to buy another wildgame camera product. It's also worth noting that the amazing deal I got on Prime Day is still slightly more expensive than what it's going for now, a few months later.

You need a device or card reader to see the photos.
It’s fun and I have captured photos of the critter in the garden. It’s really dark in the area at night so the picture isn’t real clear. It’s hard to tell if the camera is on until I look at the SS card. Easy to place in shrub/tree. Yes, I would recommend it.

not what i was hoping for
video playback gets stuck on the first few frames and doesn't capture whole movement of subject, and when this happens the video is choppy and flashes the same image repeatedly over and over till video end's ? still shots are ok but fuzzy. and i am using the SD card that came with the camera. also the less than half a second time from when the subject walks into the view of camera is more like 3 seconds sometimes when i was testing in my yard. i had two points marked out in the cameras view and while walking between them camera started recording when i was at the half way mark between those points and not from the beginning . sometimes the video capture works fine then it gets glitchy on the next few videos . if i do an average of 20 short video captures 7 will be choppy and stuck on the first frame

Good product!
Bought this so my grandson and I could see what walks through the woods when we aren't there. The pictures are good...especially any daytime - night time, of course, are in black and white and sometimes a bit fuzzy but all in all it works very well. It took a bit to get the right height and angle for best photos..we enjoy pulling the sim card every few days to see what is checking out the scrap pile...he is still hoping for a skunk. So far we have had deer, raccoon, possum, fox, coyote, owl, crow, squirrel, and a turkey.

So far so good...I think...
Bought this to capture the wildlife in our suburban yard. We've seen deer, coyotes, raccoons and opossum, but we have yet to capture anything yet on the camera. So far, just pics of my daughter and hubby checking on it! Lol! I'll update my review to 5 stars once we catch a real live animal on it!
