The first couple of years I used Amazon bought cameras costing £60-£80, Apeman, Aucee, Reagle, Crenova and others. The image quality varied quite a bit not because of the quality of the lens but the focal range. My best camera and the only one still working is the Aucee.
However, over the last 8 months I have replaced the now deceased cameras with Brownings and I now have 3 of these. Initially the image quality did not look much different to the Aucee, but the build quality is much better. These cameras ranged from £184 – £165, so quite a bit more expensive, but hopefully will last a lot longer. Also unlike most of the Chinese cameras above there is much better support should anything go wrong. I bought mine from Wild View Cameras in the UK who have excellent support. They also have a FB page which is well worth a visit any most queries will have been answered on this site at some point.WildView FB . One of the best things I have got from this group is buying Close-up lenses for the cameras. Basically you buy a 37mm lens adapter and a few 37mm Close up lenses and fit one of them to the camera lens using a black ‘bluetac’. This brings the cameras much closer focus than the standard lens which is really for large animals. The result is that it transforms the image quality for most Trail cameras and well worth the £20 or so investment.
