“So far so good, I am very pleased with this newly designed camera and impressed with how well it works. The photos and video are of an excellent quality, and personally I would say better than some of the big brands out there, I know, I have been using those other brands for years now.
As soon as I saw this lovely camera within the Naturespy email, I just had to get one. Normally I have to mess about with solar panels to save batteries with my other trail cameras, so this one is a huge benefit.
I've been testing this camera out for the past week just within my back garden before placing out within a rewilding charity location, and it's been through some horrendous weather just at home, all within any issues at all. Even though we haven't had much in the way of sunshine this week, the solar panels are still fluctuates between 85% and 100%, very impressive.
The main this for many of us is the quality of the images and videos, and once again these are certainly of a high quality for the picture, size and detail.
I would attach a couple of videos/ photos, but there's no where obvious to do so here.
My only gripe is that when you are viewing what the camera is seeing on your mobile phone, there is a delay between 5-20 seconds, and I was standing no more than six feet away for most of the photo and video transferring, so it can be a bit of a waiting game. Even so, at least with this I can now see where the camera is looking, and I won't cut off and area I need it to monitor for me.
Still, I would highly recommend this camera, simply brilliant,
Paul

“We’ve had a really good experience with NatureSpy. We received excellent advice over the phone about the camera best suited to our purposes. The Helarctos is brilliant. The instruction manual is well written in plain English - setting up the camera was consequently straightforward and it’s really exciting to see the wildlife in our community orchard.”
“Following the excellent information on website, I am very pleased with the choice I have made for my (simple) needs. Straightforward to use, great results of the hedgehogs in my garden.
I like that purchases contribute to wider wildlife schemes.”
“Although I will not be using my camera traps for a while. I have no doubt that they will do there job well. Having been looking at these traps for a while. However the delivery of my traps from you was quick. Thank you. yours C Jones.”
“Amazing watching the hedgehogs and the fox in our garden... oh and the dreaded neighbourhood cat.
I did notice I could not get a signal from the camera when I placed it behind our shed around 60 feet away where one hedgehog has his/her nest underneath.
Otherwise totally brilliant thank you.”
“This camera was recommended by a friend to watch the hedgehogs which visit our garden. The clarity is really impressive both on the recording and the livestream. We have fixed it to a stake so we can move it around to find the best position and so we are able watch different areas of the garden. Until we put it in the final position we haven't connected the solar panel but the battery is still showing 100% after a week. Simple to set up. Very happy with this camera,”
“Initially, we purchased the Wild Cam 2, but our home Wi Fi proved too weak and unstable for it. It was changed, without debate, to a Helarctos Solar version, which is now working great, and we are compiling a lovely library of visiting hedgehogs on our patio. The customer service has been excellent, and we highly recommend Nature Spy and their products which we cannot fault.”
“Easy setup, great pictures/views.
Solar panel working well so no need to charge up the camera at the moment.
Camera has been out in torrential rain and no issues.
Would definitely recommend this product. 👍”
