Seb Posted November 11, 2019 Report Share Posted November 11, 2019 https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/tHDCprpq $60 They use 8x AA batteries. And they will work for a fair while with 4 dead and 4 fresh. I've got 9 months out of 8 fresh batteries. They're the same model as the Aldi cams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A month or two less, but about twice as many snaps. Battery WELL over half full. I have had it where I burned a full set of 8 batterys in a month though. Set it up on a real spindly tree and the camera went off every time the wind blew. 2000 some odd pics of nothing... Presumably the motion sensor kept firing (using power) even after the memory card was full I think mine were 2 for $150something (on fleabay).

TempesT Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 I have a pair of kings that seem to be doing the job. Picture quality is adequate same with the night shots. I purchased them then read others have had issues on on another forum and FB. Mine havnt present with that issue and if they give me another few weeks of good service ill splash and by a few more. Getting sambar on them is good fun. I kind of like the cheap ones. That and they have Kings written on them..... and well..... aint no one want to steal kings 4x4 gear so hopefully theyll live out in the bush happily. These get a good wrap for the next price point up. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/162795493167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawnb Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Have oztrail ones, work well enough, got two from Aldi and have had issues with the date resetting itself on one and random recording length on the other, pulled a card on one yesterday after three weeks on a stag bed, branch had fallen in the wind and I had 3154 pics of it from the 10th to 13th somehow erasing all the previous pics from the card. Shouldn't do that I imagine. Going to go with some higher quality one's next.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
