GardePro E5 Trail Camera

Set the trail camera up right away and set it up. It worked flawlessly from the start. The setup was easy using the menu and up and down arrows. The picture quality is really good! The GardePro E5 Trail Camera is a great buy for a great product!

So I purchased in 2023. Tested fine at the time. Got a chance to use it this year. Left in woods for a couple weeks- when I retrieved it, lens and display were fogged. Was not in extreme weather condition. Water was in the unit and now not operational. I do have two other identical cameras that work fine. This camera did record a weeks worth of images. Camera looks fine, no damage to door or seals visible- really overpriced for limited use. I contacted the company and received new unit in three days. I do own two others. Have been happy with battery life, imagine quality, sensitivity which are all adjustable. Will look at their cel based camera that can work off one phone plan as opposed to others that you need one phone plan per camera.

Had this thing a while now and we love seeing all the animals that stalk the neighborhood at night. Pros: UI is very good, the little preview screen works great - easy setup - ran a long time on one set of batteries - decent range and detection - tons of fun Cons: middling photo quality. it might produce 24mp photos but the sensor is definitely not 24mp they just blow up the photos for marketing purposes. -1 star for that. as for the quality of the pics closer to native resolution: not bad, not great. good enough for fun but don't expect to be making postcards or wall prints from your captures. sometimes slow to start capturing: even with no delay and no photos I would get a lot of animal butts. we found the video quality to be just as good as the photos (if not better) so I turned off photos hoping to get video to start sooner but ended up missing even more. Seems to work best with a single capture then video. Overall: works great for the price, It would definitely be 4 star if they were just honest about the actual sensor size.

I have used Browning cameras in the past but they didn't do well catching pictures of cats, dogs, oppossums and raccoons. The Gardepro camera does a great job of that. I wanted a camera that takes pictures every one or two seconds which most do not. This camera has a 0 second setting which works more like a 1 or 2 second setting. I bought one to try it out and liked it enough to buy a second one. I will probably buy one more.

I bought these as kindof a cheap public deer hunting land camera that I hoped wouldn't get stolen. I could not have asked for better performance for the cost, 8 batteries lasted almost a month in each in cold/hot extremes and the picture quality is pretty solid, even at night. My only gripe is that you need to get very small pad locks for them to actually fit.

I've been buying GardePro cameras for years and the A3 has been my favorite so far. But I saw this GardePro E5 and it looked like a newer model and the price was great so I decided to give it a try. After 30 days of trying my best to like this thing, now that i'm ONE DAY past the return window, I can't stand it. But first, the positives: the user interface of the cam is the same as my trusty A3 - easy to configure and everything makes sense. I managed to take a few practice videos with it and they quality was great and the videos were in .mp4 format (which is so much better than the cameras that produce .avi's.) And that's where the positives end...which brings us to the negatives. I'll keep it brief and there are only two: 1. The camera won't recognize a Micro SDHC card inserted into a regular SD Card adapter. Every other trail cam I've had for the past five years has happily accepted a micro sdhc card with an SD card adapter but not this one! I tried four different micro sdhc cards and four different adapters. This camera would only work with a regular SD card. Oh well...disappointing but not a deal breaker. 2. But the real deal breaker is that the camera just doesn't properly detect motion/record at night. I've had it sitting outside my house for the past two weeks and it hasn't recorded a single video...and there's plenty of wildlife that goes by and trips my Arlo cameras that are pointed in the same direction. I ran a motion test on the camera just now and it only detected motion within 8 feet of the camera on the sides - and NO motion when directly in front of the camera. I had high hopes for this trail cam but was left sorely disappointed and now that I'm one day outside of the return period, I'm stuck with it. Other GardePro cameras might be good but this one has been terrible in my experience.

I remember these cameras were expensive, with limited viewing angles, and lower resolution about 10 years ago. Times have changed. Compared to my overpriced, Bushnell from 2017, this is awesome.

Takes good pictures and videos when it works, however... It has failed to initialize several times, so it took zero pictures. Also, the locking mechanism is poorly designed, so it is hard to use snake locks. It works for the price point, but you would probably do better to stick with a name brand.

Tengo varios meses usándola y tiene un desempeño muy bueno , fotos y videos muy claras de día y de noche , ha resistido cualquier lluvia siempre y cuando le ponga cinta aislante, ha resistido muy bien el clima al sur de Sinaloa

I’ve used it for 3 months now. From sun to snow, from 30 to -20 Celsius. The battery last about 3 weeks to a month, depends on the amount of activity. Very good for the price.

awesome camera, never know what your gong to film

The description on the site clearly states this camera has a Field of View of 120*. Wrong. After ordering I discovered in the manual a FOV of 70*. After testing it was confirmed - 70*. Totally inadequate and misleading as a trail/game camera. It has been returned.

Bought for cottage and has been catching some amazing pics of our local wildlife.Leave it up all year and handles a multitude of extreme weather conditions we face in Canada.
