Thanks for the honest review. A tip worth sharing I learnt from the The Hunting Public (THP) team was, as an extra check of the camera's view after installing, using the camera on your phone, put it on reverse and hold the phone up against the trail camera, and then you can see what angles etc.. the trail cam is likely to capture.

Good info. Thanks for taking the time to make a video about the cheaper trail cams.

Talk about timing Robbo, I just got back into the office at work from setting up a couple Trail Cameras around site and got this notification. LOL We are running the Swann cameras here. Never used them before so can not comment on how they go. Hopefully they do the job. Love yah work mate Keep them coming.

Thanks for this really informative upload mate, i am very interested in this type of camera and is good to get an honest review of the pros and cons.

O’ dear Robbo, A fox on your door step, how lucky is he 😂😂😂

Hey mate, few years back I was using lillacorn and managed to pick them up from ebay for $150 each. A little more than what you paid but the quality was great on both photos and video. Battery life was excellent and they were left out for 3 or so weeks at a time. Unfortunately both were stolen which is a shame as you like to think that fellow hunters are honest. Both had access codes so fingers crossed they weren’t able to access and use them. Mate thank you for the up load of the vid today as you can imagine we are all going stir crazy at the moment, you certainly made my Monday👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Nice review Robbo, always good to compare the cheaper units. Good to show the options for all budgets. I swear by Little Acorn's, got 3 of them and can't complain about the quality. Not overly expensive, therefore I can sleep at night not fearing my $400 buck camera is in some turds backpack because they are cheap skates.

G'day there Mr Robbo, Firstly champ, I love the shout out you did to Profty, I have a "very similar" orange hat. Mate, at the start of the second lock down, I knew I wouldn't see the scrub again for a spell. So I bought a Swann trail cam from Bunnings of all places. Truth be told, I didn't do too much research on it as the shops were shut and it was my only option apart from online shopping. I set it up on a great walking track near me in Austral past Liverpool. There is a place called "Shale Hills dog park", there is a designated dog park, and and then a massive walking track that forms part of the Western Parklands that stretches all the way past Mt Druitt. I have set it up in a number of places both to see what was about, and to try and learn how to operate it properly too. The battery life is excellent. It takes up to 8 AA batteries. 4 in the actual camera, and 4 in the backing plate. The first time I put it out I put it too close to some leaves off a tree and the camera snapped all the flicking around of the leaves. When I collected it two days Larter, no lie there was over 3500 pics taken. Even after that the battery was 100%. The night vision is pretty good, but the flash or glare factor is a problem sometimes. I have put the link to my Facebook page below, I post the best pics on my page as a way of keeping my love affair with the scrub alive when locked down, as well as to kill the boredom. facebook.com/bart.fenech/ Bring on freedom day mate!!!

Another Good vid on affordable gear. I have had a Bunnings Swann cam for 3 years. I leave it up bush for months at a time, copped all sorts of weather, pp high country. Battery always lasted, good pics and vids. Find over exposed pics sometimes first light or if shady think it gets confused night/day mode

Hi Robbo, I bought 3 of the Kings cameras earlier this year. All 3 have way too much over exposure on the daytime pics, even more than your pics. Video is ok as is nightime pics. I only use them in the video mode now. I checked them only last week and 2 out of the 3 were on the ground as the plastic brackets at the back that hold the straps had broken. I saw a comment that one guy here uses the Swann cams from bunnings. I have 2 of these also and they function fine so far. they were twice the cost of the Kings cams but are worth it at $149.00. I run several other cameras as well. I paid $350.00 each for Bushnell cams about 10yrs ago and they are still going strong. Anyway thanks for your review and happy hunting.

Great work Steve.

Thanks for a great review mate

Good review Robbo. I’m using the Little Acorns off eBay. I bought those about 5-6 years ago and used them for 2 years then didn’t put one of them back out until a few back. The first week it worked no problems when I checked so then I left it out for about 6-7 weeks. Checked again and didn’t even bloody work. Was pretty pissed off. So now I don’t know what’s around that area apart from a doe and yearling at her feet. I’ll try the Aldi ones when they’re back out. Cheers mate.

Fantastic review Robbo.

great! very informative!

Gday, I have a maginon, and it does great stills . Had it out for 3 months on private property. Even got a wedgie sitting in front of it. Cheers, great vids

I found the same issue with the kings over exposure.. The only good activations i got on them were at night. Thanks for confirming that it wasnt just the 2 units i was running.

Hi love the video!! But I’m confused.. when you operate that camera, did you put them at SET position or ON position?

Recently bought the Swift Enduro 4G camera from Australian outdoor cameras . Best trail camera I've used , however its not cheap .

hi robbo i have 3 hc801b an 2 vimel both lots are great cameras. hc801b was 75 each an the vimel was 65 for 2 on ebay.for trouble shooting overexposure dont have them facing into the sun ive found it works

Great detailed comparison mate .. I've gone from Leupold to Kings now and having a decent run .. 4 cameras is better than one .. what sensitivity setting are you using in the Kings ?

I don’t know about sub $100 but I just bought my first trail camera a couple weeks ago and it’s a Swann camera from bunnings for $140 I’ve been really impressed with it and how well it picks up stuff.

Is there anywhere in the settings to set the light conditions like most cameras to compensate for sunny days that may help. Hope you understand what i mean. Stuart Palmer Adelaide Sth Australia

I think my Aldi one is a Signal, bought it last year.

Thanks for the review, i just bought two kings and wondering what size SD card you are using as I have 2 x 64GB cards?

How’s the Aldi, holding up after a year? Love the vids 👍

Gday Robbo, My Dad bought 2 Kings Trail Cameras to use on the farm and we are getting 30secs on the day time videos and only 6secs for the night with a low battery indicator and did you have trouble with this and what settings did you have? Ps great review.

I brought a ebay one bout the same price found it alright except first time using it where the strap goes through broke

Steve the latest Aldi camera's lve been told are made in the same factory as the lower priced bushnell's in China.. I've got one and it works great for what it is ..no over exposure, sound o.k., but not as good as my spy points..you get what you pay for l guess..thanks for vid..

I use Bushnell, great quality, menu not the simplest in my opinion. The price is over $100

ive got 3 boblov ebay cameras, theyre great quality and seem to last for a fairly long time.I tired the Swann Bunnings camera and it stopped working with in 3 months so i wouldnt go back to them.

I don't know if it's KZfaq compression or if it's my aldi camera being a lot newer than yours, but mine definitely has better night time picture and video quality than what yours has shown. For the money and aldis fantastic returns policy, their camera is hard to beat.

I've tried 7 Swann trail cameras and each one works fine at first but after a few months they all stop working. Won't be getting anymore.

Still using kings picking up a heap of sambar now and getting a few dogs too.

I have 2 Swann security cameras from Bunnings. They hold 8 batteries take pretty clear videos and photos.

Kings had a special going only last week 2 for $158

What price do they start at???

I have two of kings cameras and a Nate has two as well. We are both having trouble with them the main thing is not taking night time footage on three of them and one only takes night shots here and there but very disappointing for night use and also set up both cameras beside each other to compare one took three hundred and twenty shots only in day time and the other only took three again in day time only neither camera took a single shot at night and my dogs were moveing around the yard. So all in all very disappointed with the Kings trail cameras

Hey Robbo, I use trail cameras for work and in the bush. The best bang for buck weve found, which is mentioned a few time already is the Swann camera. Great high resolution images with a good trigger range. I also use the Signify Aldi camera which takes great photos and has a massive battery life (6 months in the bush on the one set of batteries). I've also used the Ltl Acorn, Gerber 3G and 4G and our latest one is the Spy Point 4G. The Gerber are quiet hard to set up the sending of images to email. The Spy Point comes with its own sim card and a app, and is a subscription based service. Would love to sit down and tell you some more. Otherwise check out my Instagram @hewesy 👍 cheers for another video while in iso 👌

Been here before mate,better fellow hunter have the choose to pinch yeh kings camera,or the better name they might not be able to read that is the one they take.

I wonder if the one thumbs down was a Kings Rep ???

Kings jobs work well for night but rubbish during the day bang for buck there not bad

Hi Robo , should you put your name and ph number on it ?

Been there done those. They're crap. Lucky if they're not over exposed.I've been trialling cheap tc's for 6 years now on my instagram account @bsmith_outdoors

For that price ya not going to go insane if a low life bottom feeding scum bag steels one.... Ive had 2 $400 moultrie cameras stolen at different times by poachers (on private property mind you).... havn't bothered getti g new ones but for that price its worth another go
