The media could not be loaded. While all AA batteries will take decent daytime images and daytime videos, the nighttime camera performance will suffer, or not work at all when using AA batteries that have a voltage less than 1.5 volts. So this rules out both Ni-Cd (nickel-cadmium) and NiMH (nickel metal hydride) rechargeable AA batteries.And one-time use alkaline AA batteries, and even the Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries, so highly touted by some customers here, will experience a critical voltage drop-off halfway through its charge, well below the required 1.5 volts, again adversely affecting the night time camera performance and losing valuable opportunities to record nighttime action and events.Note: There's no battery state of charge indicator on the Wosports G100 trail camera. So mark on your calendar and replace/recharge batteries every 3 months or whatever the general lifespan of your charged batteries are.The only AA batteries that work with this excellent trail camera are the new technology 1.5-volt rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. They're generally marketed and sold in sets of four AA batteries plus a convenient 4-cell charger, all for usually about $ 25.00 - $ 30.00, with free shipping.My AA lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are actually a Lithium/Iron Disulfide (Li/FeS2) chemistry, and boast a 3400 mWh (= 2267 mAh) capacity for each AA battery.Note: These new AA lithium-ion rechargeable batteries can only be recharged in chargers that are specific to the brand name, and are included in most 4-packs at a modest charge (only about $ 3.00 extra), so it's false economy to risk an explosion or fire from using conventional battery chargers.Most of these 4-cell lithium-ion chargers come with a standard A-type USB to C-type USB cable, but no required 5VDC power source. A standard 5-volt A-type USB charging jack is required, with a recommended 2 Amp charging capacity.Enough said about batteries.Here are some specifications for the Wosports G100 trail camera:Memory: A full size SD card slot, with a maximum memory is 32GB, and at least a class 6 SD card.But 32GB class 10 SD cards are quite cheap, so go for a fast and reliable class 10 SD card.PIR (passive infrared sensor) Detection Angle: 50 degreesPIR Detection Distance: 15 meters (49 feet)Note: When the Wosports G100 trail camera IR sensor detects motion and records at night, all 16 red LEDs light up and are quite visible. While this is not an issue when recording wildlife, it may not be desirable when using the Wosports G100 trail camera as a security camera, although the red LED feature may prove useful if it causes potential thieves to quickly flee the scene. And, as there's no battery state of charge indicator on the Wosports G100 trail camera, the red LEDs are a quick and convenient nighttime check to determine if the internal batteries are still charged and the camera is functioning.Trigger time: 0.3 to 1.1 seconds, average of 0.8 secondImage Sensor: 1/4-inch CMOS, 2 million pixels, full color (daytime), black & white (night vision)Note: The advertised high resolution 5376x3024 pixel image is an interpolated image, and not any better than the low resolution 1920x1080 images.Lens: f2.4, 52-degree field of view, auto IR-cut; Horizontal viewing angle: 52 degrees; Vertical viewing angle: 30 degreesMaximum IR (850nm) Flash Range: 15 meters (49 feet).IR horizontal field of view: ~40 degreesNote: Interval time lapse (non-image time between video clips) toggles through 5, 15, 30, 60, and 180 seconds (3 minutes), which means that a person or animal is often seen walking off the video due to, say, a 5-second interval time lapse. In contrast, still photo images are instantaneous, with no interval time delay.Stand-by battery life: Guesstimated at 4 months, with 1.5-volt AA lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. But stay posted.Stand-by power consumption: less than 0.18mA, 6VDCRecording power consumption: Daytime: less than 100mA; Nighttime with IR LED flash: 350mAQuick-Start Guide:1. Switch Power Key to "OFF"2. Put in four 1.5-volt AA lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.3. With the camera off, insert a 32GB (maximum), Class 10 SD card (see format instructions below).4. Switch Power Key, to the left of the LCD screen, to "AIM"Note: Bright exterior red LED flashes while in AIM mode.5. Set Time and Date:6. Using the "UP" and/or "DOWN" buttons, to the right of the LCD screen, toggle through the hours (24-hour time only), minutes, month, day, and year.7. Press the "OK" button to select and advance to the next step.8. Set Camera/Video mode:There are 2 camera and 1 video icons to toggle through:Camera 1: The camera takes 1 still image.Camera 3: The camera takes still, 3-image bursts, all within the span of one second.Note: If still images are selected, a choice of "HI" and "LO" is offered, for high or low resolution. But "HI" quality is not recommended, as it is no better than "LO"Video: The camera takes 10-second videos only.Press the "OK" button to select desired Camera/Video mode.9. Set Time Interval, between image/video recordings:10. Toggle through 5, 15, 30, 60, and 180-second (3 minutes) Time Delay Intervals, for video as well as for still photos.Note: As a 10-second video clip is quite short, but the Time Interval allows multiple video clips with as little as 5 seconds apart.Press the "OK" button to select desired Time Interval.11. To Opt Out of, or Select Reset to Factory Default Settings:Display will show "dE FN" and toggles to "dE FY" to return the interval and capture mode to original factory default settings.Press "OK" button to accept your previous inputs.12. Toggle to "dE FY" to wipe out previous camera settings and reset camera to original factory default settings.Note: The "dE FY" option leaves your entered Date and Time intact.13. To format SD card: "FO rN" means No Format.Toggle to "FO rY" to erase and format SD card.14. A convenient tree mounting strap, as well as a flat, adjustable camera base with mounting screws is also provided.And another convenient feature are three 3/8-inch (10mm) diameter brackets on the back of the trail camera that I sometimes use to thread a modified bungie cord (see photo).While the image exposure sensitivity in the camera is automatically adjusted, do not point the camera in the direction of sunrise or sunset.Do not aim the trail camera too close to blowing tree branches and such, as it will produce an endless series of images and videos... of nothing.15. The camera will give a 10-second red LED flashing countdown before it arms itself.

Bought this for some cheap security outside of new construction.PROS:• Amazing battery life, even in freezing overnight temperatures• Night vision works fine• Rugged and definitely waterproof• If you're just looking to document motion and whoever/whatever passes by, it offers superior value for moneyCONS:• Can yield "corrupted" or "unreadable" pictures at times, which -- while frustrating after having left it out to capture a lot of pictures -- can be easily remedied/prevented by resetting the camera to factory settings (I just do this every time I put in a new card now, only takes an extra 10 seconds).• Motion detection can be hit and miss: it usually WILL detect something that walks by it, but not necessarily every movement the subject makes.* If you're looking for super-super-high-definition pictures, this isn't the camera. This will capture images in decent enough quality but nothing that will allow you to zoom in and see any real additional detail later.

This is an excellent outdoor camera!Very low price! It has all the features you really need. Customer service is very prompt if you have a question or two.

Part 2:Downloaded first set of field pictures from the trail cam and everything was great, good image quality, etc..Downloaded second set of images and the images were noted as .JPEG but corrupt / unreadable, just like my initial testing of the unit before taking it to the field. Not sure what could be causing this, I have tried different cards, I format them in the camera unit, still has some kind of issue and I can't depend on it for getting the pictures of what is coming to my feeder.I would not recommend purchasing this camera.I just got my G100 Mini Trail Cam and set it up and it takes images that say they are IMAG00001.jpg, but I cannot read the images. I tried switching from Lo to Hi resolution, Lo files are 260KB – 400KB, Hi are 1.6MB – 2.6MB, but my photo viewer on my PC says it doesn’t recognize the file format and won’t show previews or open and display the photos.I have tried several different Micro SD cards, I have formatted the card several times, I’ve tried using a different PC, same results, seems to take pictures, but I can't get them to display.. maybe it's me, going to contact their Technical Support and see if it is a setting I missed but it is pretty straightforward setup.UPDATE:I tried a different card, reformatting, reset the unit to default setting ,and viola, I get readable / viewable images, ready to take it out and see how it works in the field, review changed from 1 Star to 4 Stars, was really worried I bought a piece of junk but it was probably an operator malfunction, we'll see!Overall setup was very easy, only immediate downside is this unit doesn't have a screen for viewing images on the unit without downloading them, or to see how many images you have.
