Great review. I recently reviewed the Campark TC22 and was so impressed asked to review the TC17 which I have just received. Looking forward to testing it.
thanks for the review we are looking for property in the smoky mountains so I might try one sooner or later, I already have 2 solar Campark trail cams, which do you prefer this or the trail cams ?
Depends on what you want to do. I prefer these for security and general surveillance of our property and seeing animals when we are not there. For high detail video like I use in many of my videos I prefer the T100 and TC07. BB
I have purchased this camera with the solar and I have help installing. I know I need to purchase a plan and plan to do that. I don't know anything about sim cards, what is the mini card for? I believe the regular sims is to connect to my verizon provider. This will be a security camera for me. Just pics maybe occasional video for tresspass. I would like to do a monthly plan I am thinking. Can you point me in the right direction. Trail cam challenged. LOL Thanks
That's a good camera. You need to poke out the tiniest version of the sim card and insert it carefully into the camera and add a micro sd card to record to for posterity then install the app and power it up and follow the directions. I think there is 100 MB of starter data then you have to buy a plan through the card. Have fun and good luck.
I was really thinking about getting one but I can not seem to talk to anyone about them. No phone number to call them. The more I look the more I see bad reviews. I was hoping it would work and be a good product
I don't know where you are seeing bad reviews, I don't think it is realistic to be able to talk to someone on the phone today, but they like most companies will respond by e-mail in a timely fashion. Many people simply don't understand 4G trail cameras, they are just like your smart phone, they need a data plan to work right. this one has so many capabilities and is so much fun to use that people find themselves needing more data, but that has nothing to do with the camera it is the way things work. Very few 4G trail cams have live view and video and PTZ and voice. BB
will this camera do time-lapse? for example 1000 stills a day from sunup to sunset? my interest is in an instrument that will oversee my garden and all the critters that visit it to achieve at the end of the summer a seamless video of the stitched high resolution still shots. maybe you know of another camera that will do what i want. thanks for any clarity.
You would be better off with a high quality trail camera like the Campark TC06 Trail Camera: shrsl.com/3nk72 I tested this camera and it has become one of my favorites - for the test see: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2kQT--O6Tyw.html another option which is a bit cheaper and simpler is the Campark T100 Trail Camera available at: shrsl.com/3nywk as it has great quality and doesn't switch lenses between day and night so better chance you wont get non-matching frames around dusk and dawn. I've used this one a lot it doesn't have good sound like the TC06, but in your case sound wont be important. I did a time lapse experiment quite a few years ago with an older Campark trail camera ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PgikhoitqN4.html quality is much better now. BB
Mine worked for 2 weeks and then stopped working Service is handled from china and they offer zero help. They keep replying to charge camera. Buy any other brand
After 2 weeks you have to buy a data plan, either their's or another companies plan that's the nature of a cellular trail cam as I said in the review in detail.
