In case you are interested in the model, I got the following from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CQTPPMK/
I’m not sure if it is the best one out there, even at this price-point, but I’m pretty happy to have a camera which can take such interesting videos.
Drawbacks of this one:
- It only takes 20 seconds of video at a time. It will then pause for at least one minute.
- I haven’t been able to make the timestamp stick, so I don’t know when any of the videos are from. I’ll give this another try at some point- don’t want to be the guy with 12:00 blinking on his VCR after 10 years
- One night it was very blurry. The only thing I can think of was that I had it inside and brought it out just in time for the temp to drop and condensation to form. I left it out the next day in the sun for a bit and haven’t had a problem since.
- Only takes up to 32 gb micro SD cards. I have a 64gb, but it won’t recognize it at all. So, I’ve done everything with a very old 512mb card, which shockingly, has only filled up once (when I actually caught something).
- Doesn’t activate when it is upside down (oops!)
The last two are obviously minor, and several don’t reflect well on me as a user…
Pro:
- Nice quality (though I haven’t tried others to compare)
- Activates at the right time for the most part (not a lot of video of the grass moving in the wind)
- Video is pretty compact (storage efficient)
- While basic, the controls (other setting the time) are pretty basic.
- Sound (as Subdood pointed out)
