TOGUARD H20 Mini Trail Camera is incredible and has a feature that is not advertised.
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I just received the TOGUARD H20 Mini Trail Camera. What an incredible device.The H20 has all the functions of a larger camera at less than half the price and footprint.I have attached a size comparison photo of the TOGUARD H20 next to the Campark T70. Both are great cameras.The still picture quality of the H20 is excellent and the motion video is of equal quality.It is my observation that the motion sensitivity range exceeds the specification. Most of my motion triggers are at 60 to 100 feet. The camera also performs well at the specified motion trigger range.The H20 manual is well written and guides the user through the setup and operation of the camera. The H20 camera uses four AA batteries but a hidden surprise has revealed itself. The TOGUARD H20 mini has an external power connector. This is an extremely valuable feature to me. Most trail cameras at this price do not have an external power connection and AA batteries quickly rack up. I use rechargeable batteries on all my trail cameras and to find a camera at this price, with the quality of video and still pictures, the motion sensitivity range, with zero learning curve to setup and operate and an external battery connection is a real find.A big plus with TOGUARD and Campark products is the Customer Service. It is my experience that all inquiries receive an email reply within 12 hours. This is basically the Time Zone difference.You cannot go wrong with the TOGUARD H20 Mini Trail Camera, I strongly recommend this camera for all applications the incorporate motion sensitivity.

Great for home security!
Absolutely well worth the price! Compact design takes great 12MP pictures and vivid 1080FHD videos with IR night vision. Factory settings are spot on for what we need. Very easy to operate and has numerous settings to suit your needs. We use it for home security on the inside or outside the house. As you can see in the videos we staged a robbery in progress (LOL) in both day and night scenarios. What great images! We definitely recommend this camera to anyone wanting to catch a thief, annoying critters damaging property or game hunting.

Easy to use, works well
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. This is a TINY trail camera and I love it. I want 5 more!Easy to use, you just put in the 4 AA batteries and an SD card and strap it to a tree. It also has a gimble-type mount you can screw down to a surface. But the strap works very well. Turn it on and walk away.You can get photos and/or video clips. There are lots of options in the menu to set up what you need. It has a nice range and it senses thermal as well as motion. Nice resolution. I can't wait to take this camping this weekend!The photos and video show 2 different set ups. Both are the same tree in the same park on the same day. It is bright and sunny out. The fist view is with the ducks in the shade and the background is brightly lit. The second is with everything in the shade. You can see cars moving past in both views, to help you see the frame rate and resolution of the camera.

Great for capturing wildlife!
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I bought this camera about two weeks ago. It takes 4AA batteries, though it has a DC port available. The box did not include an AC/DC adapter, so you will have to buy that separately if you want to plug it in. This isn't a problem if you keep it near a home, but remember it's a "TRAIL CAMERA" and really designed for use out in the middle of nowhere. I recommend you buy some rechargeable batteries and keep a set ready to go, just to be safe.The camera is light and plastic. It feels a bit like a toy, but the housing is designed to take a beating...just like a toy. In my opinion, it's clever to make it out of tough plastic like this. The housing clamps shut and keeps moisture out. I had no problems keeping it in my backyard during recent rain.The camera comes with several accessories, including mounting gear and computer connection cord. The unit can be mounted on a standard tripod screw as well, and comes with a bracket that will allow you to set it up in a permanent spot.The user manual is a joy. Whomever wrote it actually knows English and grammer very well. Descriptions were clear and correct, and easy to follow.The On/Setup/Off switch was the most confusing thing for me ... until I read the manual. OFF is off. Setup is for using the menu system to set the camera options and to review video. The ON selection was the confusing thing...there wasn't any indication that the camera was READY and ON. Looking back on it, this makes sense because you don't want to let the things you're filming know that there is a camera recording them. Just know that it works as intended, and is described in the manual. Read the manual!I have attached a video of actual use. I captured my son and his children being a human train. The camera and area were in very, VERY LOW light. I was impressed that there was still color available.The daylight color and crispness are excellent. The night vision is excellent. The audio is excellent, better than I expected. The lens has a very wide angle of view and managed to capture detail all the way across the field (see video).The software/menu system is easy to use. Setup and installation were simple and very fast, especially if you understand how the ON/OFF switch works (LOL).Transferring or reviewing video is easy and seamless. It recorded in .AVI format. The camera stores clips up to a number you select. I had it set for 5 second bursts. You can record longer. You can also set a trigger time so you avoid capturing birds that fly by but don't stay in front of the camera.Videos do not loop. The card will fill up and you have to transfer and delete to use it again. The maximum card they recommend is 32Gigs. I used an 8 gig card and it's fine for my purposes.IMPORTANT: This is not a baby monitor, this is not a dash-cam, and this is not a security camera!!! This is a TRAIL camera to capture wildlife doing their "thing" in a natural environment. For what it's meant to do, it does it very well. Don't try to use this camera for stuff it's not designed to do...you'll just be frustrated.Overall, I am very impressed by this camera and it's quality, especially the ease of use and quality video/sound. As a TRAIL CAMERA, it is excellent and I'm happy I bought it. We're going to set it up in an area that we think might have coyotes. Of course, if a person passes by, their movements will also be captured, but the video length would be limited.There were no "cons" for me as long as you read the manual. I'm pleased at how nice this camera is, and the price is reasonable.I would buy this camera again, and I would recommend it to my family and friends. It's a great way to get into filming wildlife at a good price point and with a quality lens in a package that's easy to use.Bottom line: Buy it. You won't be sorry.
