BushnellTrail Camera CORE S-4K, No-Glow Game Camera with 4K Video and 1.5” Color Viewscreen

I gave this to my husband as a Christmas gift. Easy to set up and access the photo card to view indoors. We’ve enjoyed seeing all the wildlife visiting our bird feeders. Even got a good laugh at the neighbor dancing in her yard over by our property line.

Great camera. And great price.

I had mounted this to the same tree as my 10 year old trail cam that has been working great. I wanted to test this one before putting it out in the field. My old camera captured 32 videos, 30 of which had actual animals. This Bushnell captured 1 video, of me, coming to take the card out. Tried all the settings, its a total bust. The one video that it did capture looked amazing! Returned it for something else.

When this camera works it works well. Images and video are sharp and clear. Bushnell customer service has been great. Unfortunately I have had to work with customer service way too many times. I am now on my forth camera. They have all been replaced under warranty which I appreciate, but I really just want a camera that keeps working. Each camera has had a different issue. One just stopped working all together, another started taking pictures and video in black and white only, and another started taking choppy video after a while. Hopefully the forth one remains solid.If the camera was consistant I'd glady give it five stars because it has everything I want.

Would have preferred one that could transmit the pictures to my phone, a bit expensive however the pictures are very good and the motion sensor is sensitive. Next one will have cellular capability

Easy to operate. Good cover

Not really made explicit anywhere but when you turn it on the LCD screen shows what the camera is seeing, which is great for setting it up, and a feature that's been missing on Bushnell cameras (and many others) for years. That was a major reason I bought this one, having to race back and forth to a laptop twenty times to get the image set up right would drive me nuts.The picture in the manual shows the SD card being inserted upside-down (contacts at the top), it actually goes in face-up.When the description says it uses SD cards it really does use full-sized SD cards, not micro SD like almost everything else does. If all you've got is micro SD card you'll need to use a plastic SD card adapter for the camera.The files get big really quickly, a few 30-second videos at medium resolution (1080p) consumed over a gigabyte of space. If you've got a 32GB SD card lying around that you decide to use, it's not going to go far. This is a bit of a problem because while micro SD card capacities keep going up, common full-size SD cards have mostly topped out at 32-64GB. Everything over that size is not common and often stupidly expensive. Looking at a local supplier, they don't even have a 512GB SD card while micro SD cards in the same capacity and from reputable vendors (Samsung, Sandisk, Kingston) are plentiful.Files are saved as MOV's (QuickTime), circa 1992. I mean, pretty much anything can still play these things, but yeesh! The encapsulated video is H.264 with AAC audio, but the choice of MOV instead of MPG as container format is puzzling.The camera runs fine off rechargeable NiMHs, just drop in some Eneloops and you won't have to throw away a set of batteries each time they run down.Someone who did a partial teardown of one pointed out that the screws are inside the gasket rather than outside as is normal for IP67 cases, which means the screw holes present a potential ingress point for moisture. The silicone protective caps for fibre optic connectors are exactly the right size to plug them, but if you don't happen to have those lying around you may want to press a blob of vaseline into each hole to prevent moisture ingress.If anyone from Bushnell is reading this, Google "ip67 gasket" in image mode to see what I mean about how the gasket should be laid out.

Batteries last a very long time. Batteries are from August 2024 and still have plenty of power left. Captures adequate photos of animals stealing vegetables from the garden. Much more reliable than some of the less expensive cameras. You get what you pay for. This camera is top notch.
