📸 Meidase S3 Trail Game Cameras: 20MP 1080P H.264 Video Wildlife Cam with 0.1S Trigger Time & 0.5S Recovery Time - Ideal for Outdoor Deer Cam, Motion Detection, and Night Vision Review

Unlike some other Meidase security cameras, this one runs on 12VDC (not 6VDC), but the connector size is the same. This version is also different in that this version plays video OR images (not image pack, then video). It records audio and saves videos in MPEG-4 format for you to play on your Android device (other versions are saved in AVI format, which needs to be converted). I'm powered by an external 12V DC battery which is housed in a waterproof plastic box so I can't comment on the AA…

Upgrade to 1 star. As I spent hours watching a herd of deer hopping around the camera I was hoping to get some good shots, unfortunately not a single deer. However, I have about 120 photos of weed. In addition, the batteries were completely discharged in 4 days. I would not recommend this camera. First review: The camera takes great pictures during the day, but the motion detection doesn't seem to work during the day. During the day, weeds blowing in the wind activate the motion detector, but a

I was going to wait a few weeks to post my review as I wanted to make sure it worked properly. I bought the S3 to observe and enjoy the wildlife roaming my mother's territory. This is my therapy. I use it for video and I have to say that the audio and video quality is excellent. This is a no glow camera, no light at night so wild animals will not be scared at all. I had problems after the 1st week. The video played, but only with sound, so I couldn't see anything, only hear it. I emailed the…

GENERAL An excellent camera that delivers amazing 1080P videos and 20MP photos. It is very useful that the video is in MP4 format. It's very easy and intuitive to set up, and having a color display inside is really useful not only for setup, but also for viewing photos and videos. The camera has been in continuous use for almost 2 months and recorded over 1000 1080P videos on the first set of batteries. I have contacted support a few times and they are very helpful and responsive. It is…

This is my first camera trap so I could do something wrong but the 8 AA battery pack died in 3 days. The camera feels solid, the manual that came with it was detailed, and the camera's menu system is easy to use and accessible. Daytime recordings (2MP factory settings) were good and sharp when the animals were standing or moving slowly (deer, pasture). Night shots were just as good as others have posted, but it looks like the night vision camera only extends 20 feet. The other problem I have…

This review is more about the company than the product. Read on and you'll see what I mean. I bought my first S3 in April 2020 and it works great. I still use it. I liked it so much that I made this second purchase. There were problems with that from the start. The main problem is that the video flickers like in early 19th century movies. It was very difficult to watch these videos and very annoying to get a good animal video only to have it ruined by the flickering. I contacted the company via
