Deer season is not over in many states and as this picture shows, some decent bucks have survived the firearm seasons and are still “available.”\u00a0 In bad weather situations, a cellular camera is an ideal way to keep tabs on your stands and animal activity in the area.\u00a0 Unfortunately, freezing temperatures are battery killers, and getting there to replace them is difficult and expensive when you must replace 8-12 batteries.<\/p>\n

Technically a security camera, this V200 model has performed well for two years.<\/span><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Security and Wildlife<\/h3>\n

Vosker cameras are sold as security devices, yet they caught my eye due to their price and built-in solar panel.\u00a0 My deer stands are difficult to access and I wanted a camera that would send images instantly and not require frequent visits to replace batteries.\u00a0 This V200 model works day and night and extends the life of 8 AA batteries to a year in my experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"
This camera is easy to set up and operate.<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Technology and I do not do well.\u00a0 Fortunately, the camera was very easy to set up and the digital screen and minimal buttons were easy to navigate.\u00a0 You scan a QR code with your cell phone which loads the app and installs the camera.\u00a0 Once done you get this screen that will allow you to make sure that the camera is working and you get a preview of what it sees.\u00a0 Notice the “searching network” tab and the battery charge which are visibly displayed.\u00a0 You toggle up and down the menu with the buttons and then push “OK” when you want to read them.<\/p>\n

\"\"
This small solar panel powers the camera very well.<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Solar Power<\/h3>\n

Solar panels work best when they face the sun for long periods of time.\u00a0 Both of my stand sites are on northwest slopes where getting direct sunlight is difficult.\u00a0 Despite this disadvantage, the camera extended the life of my batteries for about a year.\u00a0 the camera takes photos, time-lapse photos, video, and photos plus time-lapse images.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The battery compartment is easy to load.<\/span><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Easy Peasy<\/h3>\n

The battery compartments of some cameras are difficult to load.\u00a0 Not this one.\u00a0 Push a button and the back of the camera pops open with a diagram so that you don’t get the polarity of the batteries mixed up.\u00a0 You will note dirt and debris in this camera, the reason for which will be clear in the next image.\u00a0 This camera has been in the field for two full years in very harsh conditions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Black Bear Toy<\/h3>\n

Black bears have been the biggest challenge to this camera.\u00a0 They have torn it down three times and doing “who knows what” in the process.\u00a0 Notice that the belt clips that make the camera easy to attach to a tree have been completely torn off.\u00a0 This meant that the camera lay in the leaves and snow for a week or more until I could rescue it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Incredible customer service.<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Incredible Customer Service<\/h3>\n

My camera stopped working two weeks ago.\u00a0 I learned that the camera was taking pictures and saving them to my media card, yet not sending them cellularly.\u00a0 I called customer service on two occasions, waited about 5 seconds each time and the same person walked me through a solution.\u00a0 Apparently, my media card failed and after reformatting it and reinstalling the software, it worked immediately.\u00a0 I’ve never worked with a company where I got such accurate, concerned, and speedy customer service.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Great Night Pics<\/h3>\n

Daylight only tells half of the story.\u00a0 These two youngsters are about to square off and will be shooter-size next fall.\u00a0 I have artificial licking branches at this site, yet the motion sensors only fires when an animal is present.\u00a0 The night identity range is easily 50 feet.<\/p>\n

Sharp images are stored to a media card for personal retrieval.<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sharp Color Images<\/h3>\n

I set my camera for instant transmission, something that quickly burns battery life in other cameras.\u00a0 Although clear, these cellular images are smaller in size than traditional cameras.\u00a0 If you want more detailed images, you can retrieve them from the media card.\u00a0 My goal is to know what animals are near my stand and Vosker has done an economical and consistently great job of delivering to my phone each day.\u00a0 I highly recommend them. www.Vosker.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
