5.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal For The Price, October 29, 2009

For the amount charged, I don't believe there is a better deal than the Wildview 5.0 mp IR game camera. Sure, there are more pricey brands available with extra features that SOME of us may find necessary. After 12 weeks of use, I am pleased with the day/night picture quality of the Wildview unit. The 5mp daylight color images can be zoomed to get a closer look w/o loosing adequate picture quality. Yes, there have been a few "false" triggers but it comes with a 1gig SD card (for well over 100 images) and I have a 2gig back-up to exchange when I'm curious. The 30' trigger range is not ideal but can be overcome by setting the camera at active locations. I have obtained several sets of images, so far, of deer at about 35'-40' under clear sky in open woods. (Go figure?) My son and I will purchase additional units to monitor active mineral sites and active deer trails. These 5mp IR units are a giant step improvement over earlier models. If you're interested in monitoring an area or just curious about what's around, these are great fun and affordable cameras. Make sure the camera is about 4.5'-6' off the ground with a 1"diameter stick at the top rear for improved coverage area. Our best results have been with a 1 min. delay with 3 pictures per triggering.

This was the second WildView camera I've purchased, the first one was a regular flash model that has worked well for two years particularly through our very cold winters.

So I decided to buy this IR model. It worked great...for the FIRST TWO WEEKS. Then it quit.

Called the company. They said no problem, send it back and they'd replace it. Two weeks after I knew they'd received it, I called to find out the status on the replacement. A very nice gentleman informed me that they were on back order.

Three weeks more pass with nothing from WildView. I just called and was told it still on BACK ORDER WITH NO ESTIMATE FOR DELIVERY. They won't refund my money because I bought it from Amazon. Can't get a refund from Amazon because WildView now has the camera.

If you do buy one and it breaks, send it back to Amazon. Don't even try to exchange it with WildView. They have a serious problem in their supply chain and, quite possibly, their quality control at the factory (probably in China).

Amazon claims to still have these units in stock. WildView should buy the Amazon stock and send out the replacement units. I have to wonder just how many replacement units they have on back order.

I'm going to have to buy another camera in the interim (definitely NOT a WildView) since I have no idea how long they're going to sit on this problem.

When I purchased this for my father-in-law I was looking for something simple to use that gave him good picture quality. I got that and more. Its very simple to use and the picture quality is great! The night pictures are crisp and clear. Suprised at the quality of this camera after I had priced more expensive models. It's very easy to use. The only thing I can say negative about it was that it didn't come with any instructions, but they were easlily found online. Great value.
