Game Camera Pro

The camera itself is great, the app is not great. I put up with the wonky UI for months because, with some effort, I could actually download photos and videos from the camera. Now, however, I can only download photos; when I try to download a video, the app crashes instantly. There is ample space on both the SD card in the camera and on my phone, so those are not the problem. In addition, connecting to the camera has become increasingly difficult, despite the camera and I being in the exact same locations. The Bluetooth signal is often lost, the wifi won’t get turned on… Perhaps the camera needs to be dusted off, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt there. Another thing… when exporting local files, the video names default to the date and time (which is great), but the photo names default to “File_000”, so I have to manually rename each photo. Over all, major bug fixes and a UI overhaul (read some of the other reviews for details) are desperately needed. Very disappointing.

If you are familiar with the concept then this will be an easy setup for you. But even if you are not, you can follow the instructions, they are good enough if you have technical background, otherwise, i think it would be a little challenging. i am able to access the camera via WiFi from about 90 feet, it is fast when you are close to the camera but starts to slow down as you get further. It is slow at 90, but workable if you reduce your video resolution. I am recording videos at 1080p, which i think is reasonable. And i setup my still shots at 8mp resolution. I have a green belt behind my house, and i setup the camera right next to a water bucket and i am getting great videos and shots of wild life. I also set it up next to my birdbath, and that was a lot of fun seeing the birds up close. I am accessing the camera footage entirely thru WiFi. It would be nice if it had alert function, sort of like a door cam, but you can put those driveway alert bells and you will get the alert at the house It would also be nice if i can access the camera over the internet (again like a door cam) But you have to consider that this camera is made to be a placed in remote areas where there is no wifi. For that consider getting a camera with built in GSM slot to access via the cellular network. Even with that, you still gonna run into non service areas All in all, it is worth the money to me.

The concept is good, but the quality is terrible. The app freezes while downloading data, you have to force-quit and try again, etc. Which is a shame because if not for that I’d be able to do everything with this camera without even going outside. As it is I just pull the data card out and bring it inside when I want to download videos off it.
