We've been using a Bushnell camera for a few years now with regular battery problems and it's never been very practical for our needs. We have regular visits to our garden from badgers, various breeds of deer and the occasional fox so wanted something that was a lot more advanced. We recently researched cameras that were more versatile and this one fitted the bill exactly. We've been using for over a week now and battery is still showing 80% full which is brilliant. We haven't tried the purchased solar panel yet. We can highly recommend the Wi-Fi Wild Cam 2 for several reasons, live images visible from our iPads, motion alerts, good quality images and a good price for the technology.
