Wildgame Innovations Terra XT 2.0 Trail Camera Review

The Wildgame Innovations Terra XT is a camera that has a very fast trigger and recovery. This camera will continue taking photos before transmitting them, unlike some other cameras that won't take another unit transmitted. This is a great option for not missing much. - TCP Staff

Case Design

The Wildgame Innovations Terra XT 2.0 is a fairly well case design. This camera features a user-friendly setup switch and a tree bark design for enhanced concealment. It includes a dedicated hole for a Python cable, ensuring the door latches securely.

Please note that the camera has a 1/4 x 20 mount located on the back, not the bottom. The latch is designed for easy opening and closing, and the camera appears to have a good seal. Additionally, this unit will still have an SD card slot. 

 

 Camera Setup

    The camera does not have an internal screen so the majority of the setup is done on the Wildgame smartphone app.

    • Download the Wildgame App
    • Create an account
    • Scan the QR code found on the inside of the camera.
    • Select your camera settings
    • Insert batteries and SD card into the camera and power on. There are a few status lights that tell you the signal strength.
    • Press the Sync button to force the camera to take a photo and upload it. This will help to make sure the camera is connected.
    • Make sure to select and purchase a data plan, but it should be ready to work!


     

     

    Durability

    The vast majority of consumer-grade trail cameras are inexpensive, imported devices exposed to harsh conditions 24/7/365.  Most manufacturers only offer a one-year warranty.  We stock only the most durable units and provide an additional year of warranty at no extra charge. The Trailcampro exclusive 2-year warranty allows you to deal directly with Trailcampro avoiding long wait times on hold with the manufacturer and prolonged periods without a replacement camera.  We turn around most warranties in just one business day!
