Trailcampro Analysis

     The Wildgame Vision 8 review is in progress.

Quality of Design:     63/100

Dimensions:  5.75" x 4.25" x 2.75" |  Battery Type:  8 AA Batteries  |  External Battery Jack:  None



Case design is certainly unique.  The camera opens from the bottom, with the help of one extremely small latch.  The Vision 8 also has six small screws visible on the outside of the camera.  In the past, cameras that have screws on the outside like this are subject to corrosion from moisture.

The Wildgame Vision 8 Lightsout trail camera does not have an option for a tripod or Slate River Mount but it does have a built-in bracket for a python cable lock.  The power button also makes it had to know whether the camera is turned on or off.  We prefer a simple toggle switch that clear states "On/Off."

If you are familiar with Wildgame programming, you won't have a problem getting the camera going.  We find the programming to be odd and not intuitive.  However, you certainly won't need the owner's manual to get the camera running.  There also isn't a great deal of setting options to choose from.

Durability on this particular model is unknown at this time.  In the past, we have had some durability issues with Wildgame cameras that we have tested and reviewed.

Detection Circuit:     47/100

Picture Trigger & Recovery Speed: 0.73 s. / 8.0 s.  |  Video Trigger & Recovery Speed:  2.65 s. / 10.3 s.  |  Detection Range:  60 ft.

Picture trigger speed is decent, but recovery time is extremely slow.  8 seconds to recover and take a subsequent picture is not competitive.  Video detection speed is even slower.

The detection range turned out to be 60 feet in our Detection Shootout.  This is average by today's standards.

Overall, this is detection circuit is well below average.

Picture Quality

This category is under evaluation.

Battery Life:     90/100

Resting Power (on):  1.01 mW  |  Daytime Power Consumption:  1.53 Ws |  Nighttime Power Consumption:  6.21 Ws

Battery life turned out to be a real positive on the Vision 8.  This camera has very efficient power consumption.

If this camera were to take 35 day pictures and 35 night pictures every 24 hour period, this camera would last 10.1 months in the field on a set of 8 AA lithium batteries.

    Trailcampro 90 Day Return | 2 Year Exclusive Warranty Details 

    If you purchased your trail camera from us (Trailcampro.com), here are the following warranty stipulations. If you purchased from another retailer, we recommend contacting that retailer or the manufacturer of that product for their warranty details.

    If You Purchase From Trailcampro.com

    We attempted to make our return policy and 2-year exclusive warranty as simple as possible.  However, there are a few stipulations.

    90 Day Returns

    You may return or exchange anything purchased from Trailcampro for a full 90 days from the date of purchase. Please use the items as you normally would and much as you like subject to the rules below.

    Our return policy lets you field test products, at no risk to you!

    • Buyer's remorse? Return the camera to us for a full refund (minus shipping).
    • Purchased the wrong camera? We will ship you the right camera.
    • Something wrong with the camera you received? We will replace it at no cost to you.

    90 Day Return Policy Rules:

    • 90 days from date of purchase.
    • In order to receive a full refund, items must be returned with their original packaging (including UPC code) and all contents
    • Cameras or products must be returned in their original condition.  You cannot write on the cameras, paint them or deface them in any way.  This completely voids the warranty with both us and the specific manufacturer.
    • If you purchased one of our "Package Deals" and only return part of the package, we will refund the items full price minus the package discount.
    • Orders with quantities of 5 or more are not eligible for a refund or exchange.  They are still eligible for warranty replacement.
    • There are no returns on used cameras or cameras that clearly state "No Returns"
    • If you are returning for a refund, you are responsible for return shipping.  Your refund amount will be minus the cost of the initial shipping to you.

    2 Year Warranty

    We strive to make our customer experience superior to anything available.  Traditional warranties only last a year and must be processed directly through the manufacturer.  This process usually involves frustrating minutes on hold with call centers and oftentimes weeks, if not months of down time waiting for your replacement product.  We process our warranties in-house and expedite the replacement process. When you call Trailcampro you'll speak directly with an expert who will immediately identify the problem and offer a solution. 

    2 Year Exclusive Warranty Details: 

    • Warranty starts from the time of purchase and continues for a full 2 years.
    • Replacement cameras receive the remainder of the 2-year warranty leftover from the original purchase.
    • Warranty is only valid for full retail priced orders (quantity discounts void our 2-year warranty). Discounted items still receive the manufacturer warranty.  Price matches void the 2-year warranty as well.  
    • If your defective camera has been discontinued, we will exchange it for a similarly priced item to your liking.  
    • If you have a 3G cellular trail camera, it is not considered manufacturer defect if you lose 3G reception in your area.
    • Used cameras do not apply for our 2-year warranty
    • Cameras cannot be marked on, damaged, or defaced in any way.  Warranty is for manufacturer defect only.  Defect does not include damage, whether intentional or not.

    If you have any questions that were not answered here please feel free to contact us.

    To warranty a camera please use the form below.  Upon receipt of an RMA number, you will need to ship the camera back to us.  You will be responsible for the shipping charges of the defective camera back to us.  We will ship the replacement back to you for free.
