GardePro T5NG Pro (Non-Cellular)
Trail Camera Review
The GardePro T5NG Pro is a No Glow trail camera with a top-notch Sony CMOS sensor. Pictures and videos are best in class, and the flash reaches out well past 100 ft. Compared to the T5NG model, improvements include a much better case design, including teeth for placement, and a 1/4 x 20 mount on the back. It's hard to believe this Gardepro trail camera is only $99.95 - TCP Staff

Longest Lasting Choice: Energizer Ultimate Lithium
If the GardePro T5NG Pro were to take 35-day and 35-night pictures every 24 hours, this camera would last 29.8 months in the field on a set of Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries.
Video Mode
If this camera were to take 15 day and 15 night videos every 24 hours, it would last 6 months in the field on a set of Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries.
Ultimate Lithium batteries are the longest-lasting battery choice due to their incredible consistency and capacity. We've loved these batteries for a long time. However, in recent years they have become cost prohibitive and forced us to seek out a more affordable, eco-friendly option.
