Hi 👋 DAVE , The day there is a beginning and an ending to everything..Your video was not viewed for four days and when I began watching, I said “” WHOA”” he’s making me famous.LOL . I was blown away by your expertise and how little I know about trail cameras and how much there is to learn..To get real picky you could see where one setting could result in a separate toutorial with pics lasting 10 min each ..Imagine?? By the comments they were pleased.,Appreciated new ways to see better results, and you know what else DAVE , it is the foundation on my approach to photography..It begins with what’s under your feet to infinity.. The ability for the few of us that have the ability to see vs those who have to go to school to learn . You are the former and welcome to my world pal . It’s beautiful.. Never a moment passes that a picture is about to present itself..Thank you. This is one special presentation and I was really taken back with the Doe showing so much affection to her young . For that I just may let the first Doe pass me by this fall !!!
Haha!! Not sure I can make anyone famous, but I do appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment on my videos! I think we all can learn from each other if we would just take the time. Everyone has something of value to add, each in our own way! Thanks again for your support.
Thank you Dave. This is my first camera and I am an older woman that has bears, skunks deer, raccoons, bobcats, opossum and, who knows what else , running around my yard. I only have 1 1/2 acre, but seem to be overrun with wildlife. Your voice of experience is a huge help on the set up and saved me a lot of time learning new tricks. I will let you know how I make out with my Hawkray Mini Hunting Camera.
Two years on and still helping others! Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks Dave.
I appreciate you watching and for your encouragement 👍
This is one of the most useful and best videos I've seen on CZcams. I can't afford an internet system for security and this will work for wildlife and security for me.
Wow, thanks so much for a really informative video. I’ve just bought a Victure for hubby’s Christmas present and this has really helped me to ensure that I have it all preset ready for him to get straight into using. I’ve gone with all your preferred settings which I’m sure will suit our needs. I’ve watched a couple of your tutorials and you are a great teacher.
Thanks for watching and for your encouragement! I’m sure your husband will enjoy his new camera!! 👍
This vid really helped me because you not only went through your preferences but explained what the settings were for better than the guide it came with. I like to record wildlife in my backyard woods at night and this cam is great for that.
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement. I appreciate it 👍
Hi Dave, got my first trail cam, and didn't know some of the terminology specific to infrared cameras. I was very happy to find your video and took notes so I can set up my camera. I mainly got it for pest control reasons, the small 4-legged critters that only come out at night. I think I'll be turning down the IR Intensity as I'm shooting close to the ground. And the point at the end where you discuss formatting the card was another question made clear to me. I did put the card into the computer and it seemed formatted with an image folder, but I'll go ahead and format it before using the camera. The small manual mentioned it in passing, so I wasn't sure how important it is. And I'll do it again after bringing video into the computer. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and wisdom. Have a great day.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Thanks for the encouragement. Enjoy your new cam 👍
Thanks Dave. You did a great job helping me with our settings. Excellent video. Plus you were generous with suggestions.
Thanks for watching and for your encouragement 👍
Wonderful! Thank you. I own a farm and am just setting up cameras to catch poaching on my private land. This helped me so much! Thank you.
Thank you! I appreciate your encouragement! 👍
This was informative. I always enjoy knowing how people get their shots. I am messing with my drone settings as we speak and without videos like these many of us would be lost. Thank you for this upload.
Thanks for the encouragement! No doubt I look to CZcams for how-to’s ALL the time!! 👍
Excellant video. I had no Idea what I was doing wrong and now I can set up my cameras and get decent pics. Thanks for the info.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
This is a very helpful video. I've been wanting to put up a trail cam and i am clueless on settings.. Thank you for this information. Really appreciate it.
Haha! We all have to start somewhere 😜
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍
Great tips on the camera settings. Mine are mostly the same here but I learned a few things as well. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! I really appreciate it 👍
All my camera get set to video and 20s length. I agree it fits the best for any of my scouting and making videos from them. Great Info. Have a BLESSED day.
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Thank you so much for this video. I am an older woman living in the forest on the Oregon coast. My husband bought me a GardePro A3 a few years ago, we set it up and got great pictures and then put it away for the rainy season. Three years later we have a pesky bear I wanted to get some pics of, but was very intimated trying to figure out how to set the camera up again, your video has taken that intimidation away, the camera is now ready to get photos, hopefully, of our local bear population. Thank you again!!!
Your choices for your camera settings are very similar to mine. I designate two SD cards per camera even when the cameras are identical models, I mark the cards and I still reformat them every time I switch them out, over kill maybe, but it works for me so far. I do not bait my cameras either, we have a lot of wildlife and the more I use the trail cameras on our property the more I learn where to put them. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching my settings video. I appreciate it. Keeping designated sd cards is never a bad idea. Thanks for sharing your experience from your cams. 👍
Great information bud I thanks for sharing I’ll be trying that this season !
Thanks for watching 👍
You have some great footage love the Deers. Thanks for sharing your bids & knowledge.
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement 👍
Thanks much, Dave. I do very similar. A couple things I do so I'll share, if it's okay. I'd appreciate your ideas as well as viewer ideas.
1.) How long I leave my trail-cams out?
I designate two 32GB SD card(s) for each camera. I check them about 7 to 10 days depending on time of season. If I'm checking varmint patterns, I'll check daily.
2.) What I do with my recorded trail-cam clips after making a video?
I received a 4 Terabyte memory disc from Santa on Christmas 😊 so now I started doing this.
After I make a video, I create a file folder on the 4 Terabyte memory disc, name/date the file folder, then place the new video w/ ALL related trail-cam clips in that file folder.
So now I can retrieve "a video" from the 4 Terabyte memory disc and all the related trail-cam clips I used to make that particular video are there in same folder.
After this, I erase the little 32GB SD card and now it's ready to be rotated to its designated Trail-camera.
It took me a while to figure out some kind of system to rotate SD cards, etc.....so I wanted to share.
Thanks for your videos. Keep them coming.
Some great information!! I’m glad your willing to share your tips/experience! Storage of media can be a huge deal, especially when dealing with hours of videos per check. Thanks for taking the time to watch and give your input! I appreciate it 👍
thank you so very much great video and a big help to me i have orderd a new camera so took note of all your settings and cannot wait to try it out,greetings from netherlands
Thanks for watching and for your encouragement. Enjoy your camera 👍
Thanks so much. Very informative. Especially for a first time user such as myself.
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement. I appreciate it 👍
Thanks for posting. I ALWAYS learn something new from everyone. Good show.
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
Awesome explanations! Thank you for explaining so I understand why.
Got my first trail camera today (Campark T86) . Thanks for your video I’ll use your opinions/settings as a baseline for my learning. thanks
Enjoy your new cam! They are a ton of fun! Thanks for the encouragement 👍
Brilliant and very informative tutorial! THANK you SO much xxx
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I appreciate it 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial more than welcome thank you! 👍🤗
Great video. I’m just setting up some cams in my backyard and your explanation of the settings was very helpful.
I appreciate you watching and for the encouragement. Enjoy your cams 👍
Hey thanks a lot I really appreciate the help I just bought a trail camera and don't know what to set it on now I have a good idea of where I'm going to set everything thanks again
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the encouragement. Enjoy your new cam 👍
Very informative video Dave, I have been thinking a lot time about getting some trail cams and I would have no idea what settings or even how to use them.
Thanks for watching! I caught an owl on trail cam recently and had to think of you. I’ll have to put it on Thursday’s highlights. 👍
Excellent information. The what and why of what you do will help others decide what they need to do. Thank you for taking the time to do this video.👍😊😊🇺🇸
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! It’s greatly appreciated 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial your welcome. I referred your series to a friend who was wanting a security camera. This video will help her adjust her settings for the best use of it.
Thank you so much for this information! It was so helpful!
I appreciate you watching 👍
Love the tips, I was planning to switch to 20 second videos on mine. Thank you!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching 👍
Very informative. I’m going to change the settings on my camera now. I hope to get some great results. Thanks dude 👍🏻
Best I’ve seen. In depth. Clear concise. ❤thanks.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching 👍
Awesome video buddy! Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate it 👍
Thank you for sharing the information my camera runs great now.
Great to hear! Thanks for the encouragement 👍
Great video thank you so very much for helping me understand the settings you explained everything very well. Great video.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your encouragement 👍
I do like the 1520p great camera but does not take good far away shot at night that's the only down inside on it
Thanks for sharing your trail camera settings Dave. Pretty much use the same settings. I've only used the time lapse one time, and that was while working in the food plot.
Thanks for watching Craig 👍
Thank you!!! I had a hard time finding this video! My targets walk upright.
Thanks for watching! Some upright creatures are the most mischievous 🙁
Grand and informative video. Reading the comments I have decided to lower my cam but also will take 1 photo.
Thanks for watching! 👍
Thanks buddy for all the great information my friend
Thanks for watching John! I appreciate it 👍
Absolutely brilliant and extremely helpful. Thank you
I appreciate you watching. Thank you 👍
Great help, first time in using one of these camera's, look forward to seeing what I catch in it. I set my camera as yours so see how I get on. Thanks
great video thank you! Nice video shots of wildlife you got there!
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just what i was looking for !
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement 👍
Thank you. I have my first trail camera and your video is super helpful. I live in a town house that backs to a large field and there are woods nearby. We have a lot of dear and we have two foxes, a male and female, that visit our yard every night. They love the hot dogs we put out for them. Hopefully they will bring their kits by soon. I know there's other wildlife nearby, we seen raccoons and possums, but that was over a year ago. Anyway, I walked along step by step with your video and I am confident I'll get some good video soon. Thanks again.

Thanks for watching! I appreciate the encouragement. Have fun with your new cam! I’m sure you’ll capture some interesting wildlife in your backyard 👍
Great and informative video. Many Thanks Dave UK
Really great information about trailcam settings. One of these days, I want to get a trailcam to set down by the creek, it would be interesting to see what passes by at night. 👍
I’m sure it would be interesting that know what all passes by when people aren’t around. Thanks for watching. I almost didn’t recognize you (you changed your profile pic) 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial you're most welcome and thankyou. Thought it time to update my picture. 😊
Hi Dave, thank you for this excellent video. I think you should add "jargon buster" to your CV. I have got myself a trail camera and I found setting it up a real pain. Then I came across your YT Channel, and I understand things totally. Thanx once again, Barnacle Bern SW Wales UK .👍😎
I appreciate the encouragement! Thanks for watching 👍
I'm a new user - your doing a great Job with your video- it simplified setting my camera up - most useful and practical information - lm now up and running- Thanks
I appreciate you watching and for the encouragement 👍
Great video. I look forward to the video every Thursday lol
Haha! See ya then!! 👍
Thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate it!
Thank you! Very helpful.
I appreciate you watching 👍
great information, very useful thanks for sharing
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 👍
thank you so much for helping me with the settings for my trail camera, which I`ve just got, I`m using it to see hedgehogs at night.
I appreciate you watching 👍
Excellent presentation. Thanks to you
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement 👍
Thank you this was very helpful
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it 👍
Hi my name is Mike. I'm new to this found you're video very informative. Just setting up to monitor my small back yard garden. Thanks
Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you very much, you clarified all my doubts in one video. Now I can record animals at night without any worries. ❤❤❤
Thanks for this video, so helpful, I’m setting up for the first time so your settings have given me a good bench mark. I have a Target Recording Time setting which you didn’t mention and Apart from mentioning 32 GT storage you didn’t say anything more about memory cards, apart from that brilliant, I’m looking forward to some great shots.....🤞
Thanks for watching and for the encouragement. I’m a little worried that the target recording setting should be off. When you want the camera to see movement and record (or take a picture) 24 hrs a day, the target recording should be “off” 👍
So should it be on when I want to record video?
No. I always have that setting off. Target recording is when you want your camera to operate during certain hours of the day or night. Most people (including me) want my camera to operate 24/7 👍
Thx.for the info.Dave.
Awesome video Dave I love my Browning Trail cameras and thanks for the tips. Again awesome video! I do only videos as well.
Thanks for the encouragement Bobby. I enjoy your swamp cams. It’s fun seeing different species and country side. If I ever capture a gator on cam...something went wrong 😂🤣😂
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Thanks again and stay well my friend
Greta info Dave, Same settings I use. except one of my cameras have a 30 sec video and the Tascos don't give you an option to change the length. I have been contemplating changing my IR flash lately. Seems I have been getting a lot of wash out and I am wondering if lowering the brightness will help with that. but like you said, then you risk the chance of not picking up what is further away.
It seems there’s no perfect solution because there are so many variables with trail cams and the environment we run them in. It’s still fun trying to figure it all out though 😜
Thanks for watching Joey 👍
Great tips, thanks a lot.
I've left my first trail camera on the field with many sets presented here.
Curious to check the results 😅
I appreciate you watching. Enjoy your camera👍
I collect 16 cameras every morning so I can afford the storage space for longer videos. I agree with your logic in most settings. The resolution is a bit different on each camera so I choose the resolution that is the lowest before I see any difference with the highest that maintains 30fps.(sometimes FPS in the day maybe 30 but only15 at night) Often I can not see the difference between 2K and 4K but the frame rate goes way down. Some video editing software struggles with higher resolution.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience and thoughts 👍
Great trail cam series I need to get mine out when we put mineral out
Do you ever run cams on the properties you trap?
Ya. But never around our sets. We just run them for deer
Good deal. Running cams close to your sets definitely could be a liability (or in my case, it proves how bad of a trapper I really am) 😂🤣😂
Helpful, thank you.
For battery life, I have started buying only cameras with the option for external batteries. I've started building my own external battery packs using a sealed lead acid battery and an ammo box. So far, I'm pretty happy with those.
That’s a great idea. External battery (and or solar) are a great way to extend runbtimes and save money in the long run 👍
Thank you for the information. I have a Browning Recon trail camera. I had fun with it a few years ago (tried a time lapse on roof of season change) but was totally demoralized by how quickly the 8 AA batteries went out. So it sat! But I talked to Paul recently, of Pine City Apiary and he told me to get the lithium. I got the rechargeable energizer lithium AA at work. Sha-shing! My card is 128 GB.
So wish me luck! Fun to share, won't have the fancy music like Paul! haha
Oh, and how if a simple branch moves it records zip. but newbees..
Paul’s right, lithium batteries are better. I also use solar panels which helps save money in the long run. Thanks for watching 👍
Very good thanks for that
Very helpful. Thank you
Thanks for watching 👍
Great presentation. No problem with fast/slow you are presenting.
What an outstanding video , do have a few questions on the GardePro E8PCF and sent you a note. 👍👍👍👍
I've been running 720p with 16gb cards. I think I'll be getting bigger cards and going 1080p. Thanks for all the great tips.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate your support 👍
Best trail cam video I seen so far, I set my cam up exactly the same way, if you can, it would be nice to show how you set up specific cams, like the browning or vikeri cams, go thru the settings those particular cams have
I appreciate you watching and for the suggestion 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial I don't subscribe to many channels, but if I leave a comment and the person comments back, well that earns a sub, I know a lot of work goes into making these vids, I appreciate it, subbed up!!!!
What is your favorite game camera that works the best and what is the correct position on a tree to place a game camera? Thanks
Thanks mate
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the encouragement 👍
You are awesome. My late husband use to set up cams so I learning. Can you tell me what “endless capture” means. Thank you.
Thanks for watching. Endless capture (when turned on or enabled) will allow the camera to continue operating even when your sd card is full. As it takes a new picture the oldest picture will be deleted to make room. When endless capture is off, the camera will stop working when the sd card is full.
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Thank you so much
Hi Dave, I got my first trail camera the other day Aimtom T905 and I have a setting that I'm not sure what it means, maybe you might know? It's IR distance and the options I have are: Near, Middle, Far. Great video btw, hope to try the settings out :)
That is your flash (or infrared) brightness for the night photos or videos. Near is the least bright while far should be the brightest. You’ll probably want it on the highest setting (far) or medium (middle) setting. I’m afraid if it’s on “near” it won’t light the subject up enough at night if it’s any type of distance from the camera. It won’t hurt to try them all and see which works best for your situation. That’s the fun thing about trail cameras, you can play around and make it work best for what you want it to do. 👍
@@HuntingFarmerOfficial Thanks, it was set to Middle as default, so I'll check out Far to see how it looks :)
Helpful. Do you know what "motion filter" means on the Dargahou 4k 48 MP Trail Camera. Is this what is blocking the sensing of motion at more that 10'? I don't seem to be able to capture longer distance.
Thank you. Gonna try to do mine again or I will be sending it back. I have a vikeri cam. Doesn't seem to want to record at night?
Thanks for watching. Hope it helps
Hi Dave,
Thanks for you videos and advice !
I have a camera that I don’t understand how to settle it properly. It is taking 2500 false triggers (pictures and videos) a day. I had the picture + video mode, it seems that it was taking from around 8 in the morning to 6pm pictures every 40sec (more or less), but without being in the Timelapse mode. I am living in the desert in Baja California, so maybe the hot temperature or the wind ? I have already changed the PIR sensitive to medium, but still happened to the two camera of this model.
Another model of camera that I used is not that sensitive to false triggers ! Do you know already had that issue ?
Thank you for you help
Wow, this is very interesting! I might ave mentioned it before but next time I build a hideout I might setup a trail cam in the area. All of your videos on this will definitely help. This is amazing for getting the right settings, thanks for sharing your preferences brother! I like the video only setting, makes sense so you don't loose any of the action. Awesome video!
Putting a cam in/near your hideout is a perfect example of trail cams versatility. They can definitely serve as security cams and are made to be weather proof and obviously run off batteries which make them useful in remote locations 👍
Great help...... cheers !👍👌😍
Thanks for watching! I’m glad it was useful 👍
Works great.
Thanks for watching 👍
I'm a trapper. I have 2 foxelli trailcams. I love them. Is setting at 15 mins. Time delay happy medium good enough for trapping. Cus I get way to many video and pictures if I have it on less time delay if I catch something in my traps. Anyway that was a very helpful video. Thanks
I think you’ll be good with a 15min delay in your situation. You sure can learn a lot putting them over your traps. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
Iv been eyeing u for a while already. Love ur videos. I'm a foxelli fan. Anyway no problem. Seems u no ur stuff. I'm gona set up my trail camera to 15 Mins delay tomorrow morning and put the to video mode and 20 second or 30 second record time. Thanks for getting back to me. Greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 👍
Wish you had told me how to set date and time . Although is seems elementary when l set mine it doesn't retain it. So l must be doing something wrong. Also is it possible to make red light not visible by covering it or is that a required function ?
Hi. On the photo stamp information at the bottom of the picture/video, what is the circle on the left side, sometimes completely white and other times black or half to 3/4 white? Thanks Nigel. Uk.
Thanks for watching! The symbol you are describing is the moon phase. All white would indicate full moon. 👍
Please do a video about cam placement, how high, pointing at what, etc
Thanks for watching and for the suggestion 👍
Qual câmera e melhor que a Browning Recon force Edge, e mais barata ou alguma similar ?
Was wanting to know, these 2 things plz. After you set it up on test, Do you leave it on test , or switch to the On position? Also, can you cover the flashing Red light, so it isn't seen.? Thank you, I enjoy your info. ,, Tim
Thanks for watching. You must turn the camera to “on”. Leaving it on setup will drain your batteries dead and it won’t take any pictures. You should be able to cover the blinking light without an issue 👍
How do I change the format of a video from .avi to something like wmv or......
Unfortunately most cameras do not allow you to change the video format.
Excellent video. I can get day video but not night video … it turns out black. Gonna try again with your setting … although mine were almost identical. I’ll hope for the best. Will let you know if it worked. Thanks.
Usually if the daytime video works but nighttime is black it’s a battery issue. Low batteries will give those symptoms. I highly recommend Energizer lithium batteries 👍
Great tutorial Thank you I needed that for a trail camera I was setting up. Do you configure your own setting for SMPT. On the creative XP Raven trail camera I got an email from them suggesting that I set my own SMPT as they are only sending 50 emails a day. How do handle that. I get more then that some days. You mentioned your software that you process your videos and SD cards with do you mind sharing what you use. Thanks again I appreciate all of your videos. Good job.
I’m not sure if this will help you but check out how to setup your email starting at 8:32
czcams.com/video/zr_m2M96CAI/video.html
Hi, I have one of my trail camera that I have problem that the video showing in fast mode can you please till why? Maybe have to do with setting? Thank you
That’s usually an issue with the playback device/software and not a camera issue. If the camera has a playback screen, watch the video on the trail camera to confirm the playback speed is normal. If its playback is normal, the issue is with your computer/laptop/phone (or whichever device your using for playback)
A minha não tá fazendo vídeos noturnos. HC 802A. O led fica só piscando. O que deve ser?
If your camera is working during daylight but not at night, the first thing I would check would be batteries. Low battery voltage can cause the camera to not operate correctly at night. If new batteries don't solve it you could contact customer service.
I have a GardePto E6. Is there a problem shooting through a glass door to the outside? Mike
I have a Dargahou 4k 48 MP Trail Camera that has a lot of settings. I'm new to trail cameras. There are a couple of delay settings. I can't figure out what is the best option or if they could conflict with each other. Is there a good tutorial on this camera and settings?
I appreciated your video on trail cameras. I have a DL-001, and it appears not to have IR function as the night scenes are so dark you can't make out anything. There are no settings for IR function. Is there another name for it? Thank you 😊.
Please help! I recently bought a PNI Hunting 350c cellular trail camera. I use the default email option. No other manual SMTP settings work. The problem is that out of a 3 photo burst, I only get one of the photos (the second taken). Is it possible to get all 3 of them? Every time I set it to burst, it only sends me one of the pictures. It seems that the camera first takes pictures, then it initiates the sending of a picture and in the meantime it starts taking a video and while it takes a video, no other pictures are taken.
Thanks dave. Just what i was looking for. So say the ir is how much light the camera puts out when videoing. So what exactly is the pir? Please explIn a little better for me please. I bought my camera to catch a thief, so i want to have as little light as possible
The PIR is the sensor that detects heat/motion and tells the camera to take a picture/video. The IR will allow the camera to take pictures/videos at nighttime. The camera will automatically turn on the IR lights at night
