Verdict: 63/100

In our opinion, the GardePro X50 is a unique trail camera that offers the option to disable its cellular function and use it as a traditional camera with a memory card. This is a great feature for those needing cellular functionality only during specific seasons. However, during our testing, we encountered frequent drops in the cellular connection, which was disappointing. The camera also only transferred images every two to three days, regardless of transfer frequency settings. We only tested one unit, so it's possible that this was a problem specific to that unit. The phone app is easy to use, but at the time of writing this review, the manufacturer doesn't allow viewing pictures and videos through their website. Despite these issues, the camera is still a great value. While the nighttime images were just average, the daytime images were impressive. If you're looking for a hybrid camera that provides affordable cloud viewing and can overlook infrequent file transfers, the GardePro X50 could be a good choice.

Unfortunately, connection issues are common with this model. We recommend trying these steps: 1) Turn OFF the Cellular option in the settings. 2) Turn OFF the camera. 3) Turn the camera ON. 4) Switch the Cellular option back ON and wait a few minutes.
