Review on Camera M2 1080P,Free Batteries Activated Waterproof by Mike Pedroza

Revainrating 2 out of 5

SD card failed due to poor design

Yesterday I unpacked the camera and went through the date and time setting and tested the camera once. It seems to have worked. So I removed the SD card, plugged it into my computer to view the images and removed the test images. The picture quality was very good. I replaced the SD card, closed the case, took it outside and found the place I wanted to monitor for the night. This morning I went out and grabbed the camera and tried to see the results. Nothing! Only the message "Insert SD card". The card was there. I took out the SD card and took it to my computer. That's when I realized the card was cracked and broken! My mistake I think because maybe the card wasn't fully inserted into the camera when I closed the case and it got stuck on the end of the card and broke it. I acknowledge user error, but I will also blame the camera design for the door being so close to the SD card slot that this can happen. So if you decide to buy this camera, be very careful when inserting that tiny micro SD card! Now I have to buy another ticket. I will also buy some American AA batteries to replace the cheap Chinese ones that come with the kit.

Pros
  • Game & Trail cameras
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
