GardePro E6 WiFi Trail Camera

We are very happy with this trail cam. It produces really clear pictures and videos at high resolution. We use it in our back yard. We have seen deer, raccoons, mice, possums, rabbits, and both red and gray foxes. The motion sensors work well, and the remote connection is a great plus. We can sit in the house and review the pictures it has taken, see the live view, and also upload the photos to our computer. Be aware that the connection process requires Bluetooth so the range is limited. But once you are connected it works on Wi-Fi and you have a longer range.

We are loving this trail camera to watch the wildlife in the back of our property. The pictures are very clear and videos are amazing with the motion sensor. It is durable, even with a deer being curious about something new on his path. Definitely worth the money. We plan to add another one in another part of our property. I believe it would be great for security purposes if you need one to see who is invading your space. 🤨

This trail camera is pretty solid overall. the image QUALITY is really impressive, especially for wildlife monitoring. I've been able to capture some fantastic photos and videos of deer and coyotes in my area. (Once even caught a raccoon stealing my trash, little rascal) The camera's 48MP still images and 1296P HD videos are more than enough for most people's needs. It has a wide-angle lens too, which is useful if you want to monitor a larger area at once. While the image quality is great, the Wi-Fi connection can be a bit spotty sometimes, especially when I'm further away from the camera. It took me about an hour to get it connected the first time because there was some weird interference with my neighbor's microwave or something (who knows). Overall though, the connection has been decent for most of the time. The app is easy enough to use too, which makes checking on the camera and downloading photos a breeze once you finally connect. Just be prepared for a little bit of frustration when setting it up at first.

Gardepro E6P wifi trail lives up to the Gardepro name. Like all their cameras the video and sound quality is top notch. Setting up is a breeze, and I have posted a video to youtube showing day and night vision videos. The cameras are built in good quality, and the app controls all the features the camera has. Line of sight the wifi will reach 100 feet away.

We started having minor issues with trespassers this summer. When Black Friday 2021 rolled around I decided to buy a bunch of budget cameras to test them out and keep the best six. I compared: (3) GardePro E5 ($53.99) (3) GardePro E5S ($57.99) (1) GardePro E6 ($83.99) (1) GardePro E8 ($97.99) (2) Wosport G6oo ($41.99) (1) Usogood WIFI trail camera 4K (Gifted to me, currently lists for $113.99) (1) my one year old Victure ($84.22) (Black Friday 2021 Prices except for the Victure, which was Black Friday of 2020) So my winners and keepers in order are 1) GardePro E6 2) Gardepro E8 3) Wosport G6oo. Everything else (Except the Victure) got sent back. That about sums it up, but if you want the details and why I made those choices then read on. I initially set up a test in the forest behind my house and put all the cameras side by side on a board about four feet off the ground. I set it up so that I could walk into view at a right angle 90 feet away from the cameras then walk directly in towards the lens. I let the cameras run for 24 hours and made several trips down to the board midday, evening and in pitch black darkness. For physical design the GardePro cams are all awful. The screen is on the inside lid behind the camera, so it’s only visible when you have the camera pointed in the wrong direction. Figuring out where to mount the camera so that it’s pointed at the precise right spot is a real chore. The battery compartment lid is crazy tight. I had to use a flat screwdriver to get to the batteries and for some reason none of my rechargeable batteries fit. Finally, the memory card slot pops out the bottom and it’s not always obvious when you have it “locked” in. I envision SD cards getting lost in leaves in my future. The E6 and E8 had some redeeming qualities though: The Winner: GardePro E6: It worked perfectly right out of the box with very little configuration. The poor physical design is overridden by the WiFi feature, which allows me to get the cam pointed using the screen on my phone. I could review the images and videos on the cam without pulling the card so dropping it out the bottom is a smaller concern. The sensitivity isn’t perfect but it works better than anything else in the group I tested, except the slightly more expensive E8. The images and video were not as good as my phone. They aren’t even as good the phone I stopped using eight years ago. But compared to all the other cameras in the test they are exceptional. I was easily visible in the night time video at 90 feet, and could almost start to recognize myself at about 50 feet away. My face was easily recognizable when I got to somewhere between 25 and 20 feet from the camera. GardePro E8: This performed almost exactly as the E6. The only reason I put the E6 at the top of my list is that I don’t really see any extra value for the price, unless getting a slightly higher resolution (32MP vs 24MP) is super important to you. I was more interested in video, and they both record at 1296p. If they were within $10 I’d buy the E8, but at the time of this writing there’s a $20 gap that I don’t think is justified, unless there is some other feature I just haven’t noticed yet. If I discover some other benefit in the next year I’ll come back and edit. If they both go for the Black Friday prices again I’ll get the E8. Wosport G6oo: Honestly, these were so cheap I bought them to use as decoys. These don’t have the invisible IR so when they trigger you will see a red light. I intended to set these up as a deterrent, with a second (and better) camera watching the same area but out of sight. Someone approaching the camera would hopefully see it and turn around, but they decide to trespass anyway and steal one of these cameras to cover their tracks, I would get proof from the better hidden camera. I was really surprised at how good the sensitivity was right out of the box, the quality of the videos and audio, and how intelligently the physical case is put together. After sending back the E5 and E5S cameras, I decided to just mount these up out of reach with a ladder where a trespasser can’t get to them easily. UsoGood: As far as usability and sensitivity goes this is a great camera. Unfortunately I was not impressed with the images or video. The images I got were all grainy both night and day, and had a serious fisheye distortion without adding any noticeable field of vision over the other cameras. I had put this on my wishlist after drooling over the feature list and the reviews, but as badly as I wanted to love this camera I had to send it back using the gift receipt. Hopefully my in-laws won’t be upset. GardeE5 cameras: Great images for the price, but the sensitivity and audio was not good. They never stopped triggering. In 24 hours I ended up with 990 images on each camera. I retested these by putting the sensitivity down to medium, and then they wouldn’t trigger until I was within 25 feet. Another deal breaker was that the audio on all three was horribly muffled. If a trespasser is talking I want to be able to hear everything they are saying. If a deer suddenly turns to look somewhere I want to know what sound made it jumpy. GardePro E5S cameras: Like the E5, great images for the price, but the sensitivity and audio was not good. They triggered nonstop and in 24 hours I ended up with 1391 images on each camera. I retested these by putting the sensitivity down to medium. They improved but I still ended up with about 20 pictures and videos of a dead still forest with no clue as to what triggered them. I think I could have gotten the sensitivity to work as needed but the biggest problem I ran into was that the audio on all three had a consistent clicking sound in addition to being muffled. I tried downloading the newest firmware but that didn’t seem to make any difference. Victure: I don’t see these on Amazon anymore so it’s probably not worth mentioning, though these had rave reviews in 2020. The sensitivity on this is a little low but overall it works as expected, and I’ve gotten some great clear videos of deer and racoon. The biggest issue I have with my Victure is that the IR range at night seems to be weak. Any movement beyond 25 feet at night is so poorly lit that you can’t tell what you’re looking at. It’s the perfect camera for tracking Bigfoot, as you’ll get all the blurry ghostly night images you could hope for.

Works really well, run time on battery is really long, not picky about SD cards, really good about false triggers. I had a less expensive one from one of those 'alphabet soup' companies that didn't do anything as well. GardePro is well worth the extra cost.

When these cameras work, the picture quality is pretty good. I own several, but I’ve had ongoing issues. They don’t perform well in cold weather, one only works occasionally, and another rarely takes pictures or video at night. I set two of them out just last week and both stopped working completely. I’ve only had them for about a year, so the reliability is very disappoinng

so this is a 2 part review.the camera itself works good and produces nice video.the first 5 months it worked great then I started having issues.tech support was fast with their responses but after 2 weeks of back and forth about why my camera works intermittently they finally told me that I need a firmware update.this is why I gave them 2 stars.it turns out that you need a windows computer not a MacBook or apple product to do the update.now I'm stuck with a camera that can't be returned.i also tried another gardepro camera and had the same issue.that one I will be returning.

First time trying a wildlife cam. After reading reviews I decided on the E6 WiFi as wanted to be able to just use the phone to see videos and download etc. Set up was pretty straight forward and we were up and running in no time. Captured some great shots of Mammy hog that’s living in our house we built and looking forward to seeing her babies soon. I used Duracell batteries that cost £10 for 12 so not the really cheap ones. They only lasted 5 nights. We had been taking 30 sec videos with a 30 sec delay but as the mice were also out at the cat food all night long we were ending up with 100 plus clips per night so I’ve now dropped the clip length down to 15 secs to see how that goes. If it wasn’t for the mice it wouldn’t be so bad I guess. Going to look at getting a power cable long enough to reach into the window as otherwise it’s going to cost a fortune in batteries. Other than that tho the camera and phone app is brilliant and has got us some great clips of the hedgehogs.

Exellent for a few days when even traffic 1/4 mile away set it off! Picture clarity is great when it works. Eats batteries in two or three nights. I tried expensive batteries but made no difference to longlivety. Now, with new duracell batteries installed it isn't taking any night shots of wildlife but picks me up putting food out for them. Trying to see if neighbours missing rabbit is still around with the wild bunnies but the camera isn't seeing anything. Battery life is still showing full. I had stopped using it and now too late to send it back. Very disappointing. Wish I had got the solar powered one. Previous one of a different manufacturer used to last weeks on a set of batteries. I have just updated my review as, in desparation, I reset the camera to factory settings. There must have been a glitch as it is now working fine with good detection and good quality videos and reasonable battery life. On reflection, this camera is ecellent value for money.

Used this for 10 weeks and very pleased with the quality of the day and nighttime videos. My main concern when I purchased it was battery life, so I bought some good lithium batteries. They have lasted ten weeks. They take an hour to recharge and I’m back up and running, so not concerned anymore. Camera was very easy to set up. I have it set to capture 30 seconds of video at a time. I access it via Wi-Fi twice a day on my iphone and either download or delete videos.

I purchased this trail camera last spring and it worked really well until summer then stopped working because of the hot weather. So I forgot about it then last week I set it up with new batteries and it worked for about 16 hours and then shut down. I have tried everything including using AI to talk through all possible setup problems and it still wont work. I think the camera is badly affected by temperature. I contacted Gardepro support - what a joke the phone number is useless and so is there chatbot. The new AA longlife batteries also completely ran out within 16 hours of filming and then trying to solve the problem . No I do not think the camera is worth the money I paid because it wont function in hot or cold temperatures and therefore is useless for at least 6 months of the year. I am now looking for a camera with rechargeable batteries and that can work in hot or cold temperatures

It is reasonably easy to set up. It uses 8 batteries. We have found connecting via the app on either android phone or iPad not good. The connection keeps dropping out making using the camera a pain. The video quality is not good as they are jerky/jumpy. Not very happy with the camera and would like to return it.
