GardePro A3S Trail Camera, 64MP 1296p Game Camera with Clear 100ft No Glow Night Vision, Fast 0.1s Trigger Speed Motion Activated Waterproof, H.264 MP4 Video

I got this for my dad for Christmas on sale. Based on reviews this seemed to be the best for budget and it does not disappoint! He said it was easy to set up and the quality of the images were great. I got him some rechargeable lithium ion batteries to go with. It has been up for about five months and I don't think he has yet to swap the batteries.

this is the 4th one I have bought works perfect, daytime photos and videos are sharp and clear, nighttime is black and white and quality is acceptable considering its dark, easy to set up and customize timing and file size, catches all the wildlife running around especially at night. bought 64 gig cards so even after 3 months there is still lot of room on the cards, its interesting to see whats running around on your property when you are not home, we have 5 acres so that is why I have 4 of them. not cellular I did not want to have all of the data send to my phone all the time. check them every couple of months, batteries last a long time, after years still on the original set

This is by far the best trail cam I've bought. And I'm happy I bought two. - Great video - best audio witch came as a bonus surprise to me - batteries last for what seems forever - never fails on the date, time, temperature stamps I purchased the two in December 2024. June 2025 one of the cams stopped working. After inspection I discovered that water had penetrated it burning out some of the electronics. I emailed Garde Pro about my situation and they replaced the camera free of charge. All they needed was proof of purchase. They delivered it promptly as well. Now I am back to my two camera set up. Garde Pro has proven to me to be a class company to deal with along with a fantastic product. Thanks Garde Pro for keeping this customer very satisfied.

I was looking for a no glow IR camera that was invisible to the human eye and found this camera after quite a bit of research. Most of the no glow cameras were twice or three times as much so I was a bit apprehensive. But, after some testing I'm very happy with it. I set it up beside another proven camera and it triggered every time. Most images were center frame. Pros: 1) The price is great. 2) The audio was excellent! Way beyond any of my other cameras and even distant or low volume sounds were captured by the camera. 3) Exposure is adjustable for different locations and will auto adjust mid video if necessary. Medium setting seems to work the best for me so far. 4)LED's invisible to the human eye. This camera is totally undetectable at night. No red glow visible at all. 5) Clear night time photos and video. 6) I like that it uses full size SD cards so I'm not fumbling around with a tiny micro card in the woods. I will say that it needs a pretty fast SD card though. I used a class 10 card first and noticed some stutter in the audio. I switched to a faster A2 card and no more problems. I think many of the negative reviews are from people who are using slower or incompatible cards. If you are getting partial photos or weird video/audio artifacts switch to a quality card with a transfer speed over 30mb like a U3, V30 or faster if you plan to do a lot of video. Sandisk has never let me down. Just because a card works in one make of camera doesn't mean it'll work in all of them. Cons: 1) Bit rate of the video reveals it is on par with 1280x720p even though the video settings allow for 1920x1080p video. Not uncommon but disappointing. In all fairness, the description says 1296p not 1920p (though it lists 1920x1080p setting in the description) It is typical for a camera in this price range and not a deal breaker. 2) My biggest gripe seems like the most trivial but it is the on/off switch. Every other camera has "off" all the way left and "on" all the way right. "Settings" is in the center position. They are easy to turn on and off with gloves because you can just push it all the way over. THIS camera has "On" in the center position, which means I'm going to have to remove gloves and be careful to only slide the switch one click every time I turn it on. That is going to be irritating every time I check the camera.

Works quite well, night vision is good too. I find the reaction time a little slow (at least in video mode) when an animal is moving at a decent pace and the framing is tight. Overall solid value; I’m still on my first set of rechargeable 8x AA’s and it’s been 2 months. Like all Amazon trail cams, take a look at the specs. You get 1080p/30fps out of this camera, but the higher resolution brings a lower frame rate. A 30 second 1080/30p video is about 30MB or less, so only a bit rate of about 8mbps. I think you’ll run into this with any random capital letter brand here on Amazon when you’re not paying several hundred bucks. I’d hazard the megapixels are interpolated as well; not that you need 64mb trail camera photos anyway. Edit: This thing is great on battery; lasts for months. I use it only on video mode; it’s pretty good for the price. I find it misses some fast moving animals, or catches them late.
