GardePro E5

Set the trail camera up right away and set it up. It worked flawlessly from the start. The setup was easy using the menu and up and down arrows. The picture quality is really good! The GardePro E5 Trail Camera is a great buy for a great product!

So I purchased in 2023. Tested fine at the time. Got a chance to use it this year. Left in woods for a couple weeks- when I retrieved it, lens and display were fogged. Was not in extreme weather condition. Water was in the unit and now not operational. I do have two other identical cameras that work fine. This camera did record a weeks worth of images. Camera looks fine, no damage to door or seals visible- really overpriced for limited use. I contacted the company and received new unit in three days. I do own two others. Have been happy with battery life, imagine quality, sensitivity which are all adjustable. Will look at their cel based camera that can work off one phone plan as opposed to others that you need one phone plan per camera.

I have owned a lot of brand name cameras, and have about a dozen in operation at two hunting properties. I bought three of these to replace worn out Moultrie cameras in locations with no cell signal. I set them to snap a picture and do 10 seconds of video. I’m impressed with the clear pictures and video including sound. I can hear the crunch of deer walking on leaves and a clear buck grunt in one it captured at night. Pretty simple to set up, swapping SD cards is pretty quick. The are bottom loading and I generally prefer side loading cameras so I don’t have to bend over so far to find the SD card, but these are easier to see, so I’m happy even with that. No idea how durable they will be but they seem as well made as others I own.

I've always been a Moultrie guy but I needed some new non cellular cameras so I took a chance on a couple of these since they were only 40 bucks. Much to my surprise the clarity of the images are way better than any other camera I own. Super easy to program as well. Solid camera. Highly recommend.

I remember these cameras were expensive, with limited viewing angles, and lower resolution about 10 years ago. Times have changed. Compared to my overpriced, Bushnell from 2017, this is awesome.

I've been buying GardePro cameras for years and the A3 has been my favorite so far. But I saw this GardePro E5 and it looked like a newer model and the price was great so I decided to give it a try. After 30 days of trying my best to like this thing, now that i'm ONE DAY past the return window, I can't stand it. But first, the positives: the user interface of the cam is the same as my trusty A3 - easy to configure and everything makes sense. I managed to take a few practice videos with it and they quality was great and the videos were in .mp4 format (which is so much better than the cameras that produce .avi's.) And that's where the positives end...which brings us to the negatives. I'll keep it brief and there are only two: 1. The camera won't recognize a Micro SDHC card inserted into a regular SD Card adapter. Every other trail cam I've had for the past five years has happily accepted a micro sdhc card with an SD card adapter but not this one! I tried four different micro sdhc cards and four different adapters. This camera would only work with a regular SD card. Oh well...disappointing but not a deal breaker. 2. But the real deal breaker is that the camera just doesn't properly detect motion/record at night. I've had it sitting outside my house for the past two weeks and it hasn't recorded a single video...and there's plenty of wildlife that goes by and trips my Arlo cameras that are pointed in the same direction. I ran a motion test on the camera just now and it only detected motion within 8 feet of the camera on the sides - and NO motion when directly in front of the camera. I had high hopes for this trail cam but was left sorely disappointed and now that I'm one day outside of the return period, I'm stuck with it. Other GardePro cameras might be good but this one has been terrible in my experience.

Improvement over previous models. Instructions haven't been updated with the new settings

Takes good pictures and videos when it works, however... It has failed to initialize several times, so it took zero pictures. Also, the locking mechanism is poorly designed, so it is hard to use snake locks. It works for the price point, but you would probably do better to stick with a name brand.

awesome camera, never know what your gong to film

Love the quality. Great pics.

Bought for cottage and has been catching some amazing pics of our local wildlife.Leave it up all year and handles a multitude of extreme weather conditions we face in Canada.

Works great

Good medium quality product.
