That one shows 40.1KB in file size. I think the files are being downsized when loaded on here though. So I would think they are larger on your phone or computer than they are on here.

Go in the app to the camera and then advanced configuration then under quality select High

It’s on high.. I also think this one set back a little far. Might help positioning a little closer.. Anyways, I appreciate the help. Not dissatisfied with the product.

Here is a photo for comparison with my Canon 90D at 32.5MP. The original is 16.9MB and this file is 40.1KB in size. I also downloaded a larger file but this site will not let me load the original file being it is to large. The larger file is only 526KB in size. It not near as grainy or blurry as the smaller one. But neither compare in quality to the original file size.

You may just have a camera that has a bad focus or lens. Like I said above I have several cams that take really bad pics and then have one or two of the exact same model, bought the same day that take much better quality pics.

Did it update successfully using the mini SD card?

I've had 3 going for a couple of years and overall I'm happy with them. The camera at my feeder had a weak one bar signal, so I added an external antenna on an extension cable fed through a 10' PVC pipe zip tied to the trunk of the tree. That fixed the signal problem. I use external feeder batteries zip tied to he tree with no box and they last about 8 mths before needing to be recharged. When I have used AA's they seemed to last longer than expected.

Photo quality: The resolution is low because it's designed to be sent over cellular (reduced data size and transmit time). The pics stored on the micro SD are better, but still not as good quality as I was used to, but again, these pics need to be reasonable size to be sent over cellular if you buy the HD package, which I think is a good idea. I do miss the crisp 10mp photos from my old disconnected camera, but it's totally worth the tradeoff to be able to see the animal traffic from 100 miles away. I do a lot of hog hunting and they go through patterns where they wont' show up for weeks, so it's great to know when they are coming and not waste time driving out to the property when they aren't there.

I've had good luck working with support work though the small number of issues I have had.

The best part of the camera is the 100 pics/mth for free plan which is great for security purposes. I only pay for one of my cameras (250 pics/mth).

To save battery, it's best to only transmit once a day. I look forward to that notification that comes at 8pm every day.
