“When it works the footage is okay but the app is unintuitive and furstrating to use. I recommend buying the tripod stand and solar panel as I ended up buying these separately. The battery barely lasts 2 days then you have to spend an entire day charging it (shame it doesn't arrived charged like most other items these days). It also gives you over 20 notifications that the battery is dead which is annoying. Getting the video footage to load is painful - it spends ages buffering or saying it can't connect and the wildlife cam often goes offline for no reason. To save footage to your phone you have to navigate to a particular timeslot, wait for the video to load then quickly press the record button. The instructions say "wait until the video stops" however it never stops - you have to press the video icon again to stop it recording. It saves videos to your phone in the most ridiculously named folder 'bf26660ddcfa22f89cyde0'. A lot of my frustration comes from having owned a NetVue Birdfy bird feeder camera first - this always works, never goes offline, auto records clips, and is intuitive to use (and is in a similar position in the garden, just higher up). I chose the NatureSpy for a ground cam as the profits support wildlife conservation but wish I'd not bothered”
“It’s just a bit complicated.what with timing.and other
I thought all I had to do put batteries in and switch on
At 78 I find gadgets a bit harder to understand now”
“This looks like a great little camera but I had not realised that it would ONLY work within the wifi range of our router, hence little use outdoors in our garden, field and stream bank where we wanted to use it. That may be perfectly obvious to others, but it wasn’t to me. Will have to return it (and pay postage), so a bit disappointed.”
