Camera Ratings
Detection Range: 7/20
The camera has a detection range of only 35 feet. Unfortunately, most owners don't realize how many images they have lost by having a limited detection range camera.
Speed: 3/10
While the manufacturer claims 0.1 detection speed, our experience is quite different. The photo trigger is average, and the video trigger is one of the slowest we have seen. Our estimated video speed is close to 3s.
Accuracy: 4/10
The GardePro A3 has three motion sensors and three sensitivity levels. However, we have found the cameras extremely sensitive to the wind resulting in thousands of blank pictures at medium and high sensitivity settings.
Battery Life: 6/10
We had quickly burned through several sets of batteries when the detection sensitivity option was set to medium or high. We have also noticed a low battery life when all three detection sensors are used. Therefore, our recommendation is to use low detection sensitivity and photo modes. In those settings, the batteries will last for over six months.
Daylight Images: 9/10
This is where the camera shines. The daylight images are crisp, colorful, and comparable with high-end trail cameras.
Lowlight Images: 3/10
The camera captures color pictures during dawn and dusk. Unfortunately, the image quality is just subpar. Photos are incredibly grainy and out of focus.
Night Images: 5/10
The nighttime images are grainy and slightly out of focus.
Design: 6/20
The camera does not provide an option to secure the camera with a python lock cable. While it has a door padlock option, it is pointless, as anybody can remove the camera from the tree. Another drawback of this model is its bulky size. The camera strap is thin with a flimsy plastic lock. The cheaply made plastic strap loops are thin and brittle to the point that one of our cameras felt the tree.
Verdict: 43/100
