Well camera arrived,it did fit inside tub,I started taking some photos at different stages of doing the tub..but my cameras batteries gave in..so no photos sorry.
I finished the tub and Im very happy with the outcome,an empty diet coke can perfectly fits behind the camera to keep it in place snugly.
Being placed inside this tub should hopefully offer it more protection from the elements.
I bought some new digital camera batteries,here's a few pictures of the completed tub to give you an idea.....

For the batteries I would use..
Energizer AA Batteries Ultimate Lithium
As for the TF card I think the max is a 32GB micro Sd,I got one off eBay for £5,just remember to format it before first use.

What did you catch it on?
co-op own brand crunchy peanut butter.Ive got roshield rat&mouse bait and roshield caramel attractant and the crunchy peanut butter over wins every time.
Ive got roshield trap boxes as well but find the victor trap is much better,mind you as you know rats are very cautious of any new item in their routes.
This particular trap has been in place for well over a week.

returned to seller,didn't refund me,got eBay to step in and had full refund within 24 hours.
A strange thing happened today..the first original trail cam I bought but returned because it stopped working but the seller wouldn't refund me so I got eBay to step in and was fully refunded within 24hours.
The seller returned it to me with a label on saying he was not accepting the parcel even though Id been refunded?
No good to me...its broken,so I kept all the accessories(pc lead,card reader,and mounting strap)and binned it...did give it another try beforehand,but still broken.
Why didn't the seller just bin it???

It protects them from the worse downpours and of course constant drizzle we get but eventually they do succumb. I have brought odd ones back to life by leaving them on a radiator for a few days but it isn't always successful.

I don't think mine is going to be far behind you, its already cutting the bottom of the frame on pictures and misses video altogether sometimes!
I even tried to dry it out in the tubful of rice trick,it did soak up the condensation on the camera lens and pirs but didn't fix it.
with the next one im going to adjust it like the last without time/date stamp but going to cut it down to 4 photos and 20 secs of video,on the last one i adjusted it 5 photos and 30 secs of video,the default is 3 photos and 10 secs of video.

I've just ordered a similar one with a 32gb micro SD card.
Wildlife Hunting Trail Camera Scouting Cam Infrared Night Vision Trap HD 1080P
WWW.EBAY.CO.UK
PIR Angle:60 degree. USB Slot: 5pins USB 2.0. Image Sensor: 3MP Color CMOS. Work Mode: Photo, Video, Photo+video. IR LED:38pcs 940nm black Lights...well after using it 3 times it packed in and stopped taking photos and videos and would not even identify the SD card.
I tried new batteries,a different sd card but nothing worked.
returned to seller,didn't refund me,got eBay to step in and had full refund within 24 hours.
I dont think it agreed with storm Eunice some water got inside,did try to dry it out for a few days but didn't work.
just ordered another same model off different seller but this time i have a plan......I've got a waterproof round(cylinder) shape Tupperware container,going to cut away just enough for camera lens and pirs,going to cover it in camo wrap vinyl and place camera inside.
just this time Im not going to leave it out in torrential weather!!

Generally, I'm not impressed with picture/video quality on mine but then again it does the job and is VERY cheap.
I am amazed how sensitive it is, sparrows and a single field mouse set it off.
Yes all the family are enjoying the photos and videos, funny thing is my wife called it another one of my useless unused toys!
Well now she can't wait to have a look what it has caught?
As far as watching videos on my android tablet I have now downloaded a media app called VLC it has a red traffic cone for its icon and works great with the trail cam.
For the money I'm very pleased and even managed to buy a 32gb micro SD card off eBay for a fiver.
Its surprising what wildlife comes into your garden,wish I bought one earlier.

IR LED:38pcs 940nm black Lights...Mines arrived and I'm very pleased with it,good quality pictures and videos day and night. I've altered the default settings so it now takes 5 photos and 30sec video clips each time the pir is broken(default is 3 photos and 10sec video clips)and I've disabled the time/date stamp to increase viewing.
Only problem is I can view photos on my android tablet and TV but if I need to view videos I've got to connect to pc but I can put up with that.

I run all my cameras on rechargeables and don't have any bother.
Really, when mine arrives, I have some rechargeable batteries, I'll give them a try.I'm only going by what I've read on the net?

Mine has Duracell's in at the moment but it does say you can also run it from a 5vDC supply, (4 x AA batteries should be 6V). I will be giving the rechargeable batteries a try, they tend to be in the order if 1.2v each so a hint under the 5v it can be run with, worth a try, who knows what will happen!
Worth a try,let us know your outcome?
No doggers will be safe now.
