Campark Mini Trail Camera
This is the smallest trail camera in the Campark range as the name suggests. At just under 4.2 inches in height and 3.7 inches in width this camera is very small. It’s almost cargo pocket sized, it’s that small.
The size of the camera makes it the ideal for setup locations where being discreet is necessary. This could be on public land or as a security camera to an entrance of a property.
Being so compact there is a slight trade off in the size of the 12MP image sensor. The smallest out of all the trail cameras in this review.
If you’re looking for extra pixels in still images to take a closer look at the detail of wildlife then some of the other trail cameras in this article have larger, more detailed still images.
Design Features
The camera housing is of the clam shell design, which is typical for trail cameras these days. It’s IP56 rated for dust and water ingress protection.
Accessing the control panel and battery compartment is just a matter of releasing the sturdy plastic latch on the right handside of the case.
Inside the camera, a battery compartment takes 4 x AA batteries. Directly underneath which, is a 2.4″ color LCD screen.
The LCD screen allows you to access the menu settings and features by pressing the buttons on either side of the screen. Like all the cameras here, the screen and operating panel are well thought out, allowing easy operation of the menu.
Camera Settings
The Campark T20 does have a few less features and settings compared to the other cameras. However, it does have all the standard trail camera functions you’d expect see, plus a number of useful additions.
The T20 has what Campark call “Shot Lag”. This setting allows you to select a period of time where the camera will not record any photos or video after the initial trigger by wildlife. This saves on memory card space. The setting can be set from 5 seconds, right up to 60 minutes.
The sensitivity of the PIR motion sensors can be set from low, medium to high. A useful function that allows you to match the cameras sensitivity to the locations activity, for example the edge of a quiet field or a busy urban backyard.
Target Recording is used to set the exact time of day the camera is active. So for example, you can set the camera to only record between at sunrise between 5am and 6.30am, which is a really handy feature to have in a trail camera.
Campark T20 Summary
This is one of the smallest trail cameras available to buy currently. Being so small has it’s advantages as I mentioned. Great as a covert concealed camera on public or home security.
If you want the big megapixel images then this camera may not be the ideal option. Don’t let that put you off though, the video and picture quality as with all Campark cameras is very good at this price point.
Campark T45A Game Camera
The T45A is the upgraded version of Campark’s best selling trail camera, the T45.
The camera is another clam shell design with 2 metal clips on the right side of the case that allow access to the operating panel, color screen and battery compartment.
Camera housing is IP56 rated for dust and water ingress protection, which is the standard these days for trail game cameras.
The base of the camera has a 1/4-20 thread insert to allow the fitting of the metal swivel mount that comes with the camera, as do all the cameras in this review.
The image sensor is 14MP which takes pictures at 4416 x 3312 pixels. This is plenty big enough for scouting, home security and wildlife recording.
T45A Camera Settings
As with the T20 mini camera (see above), the T45A has Shot Lag, adjustable motion sensors, plus Target Recording options in the settings menu.
In picture mode there’s the option of recording pictures in short bursts, from 1 to 3 pictures.
Video resolution is adjustable, as with all Campark’s cameras, from 240P up to 1080P. I wouldn’t suggest using any of the lower video resolution settings, but the option is there if your concerned about filling up an SD card quickly.
Overall, the T45A has pretty much all the settings you’d expect to have on a trail game camera.
T45A Trail Camera Summary
This is a budget trail camera and for the price point he T45A performs very well both at night and daytime.
The detection range is fairly standard at 65 feet and the trigger speed is fast enough to capture all but he fastest moving wildlife.
If you’re looking for a low cost trail camera in a multiple camera setup for scouting. The T45A is worth considering.
Video and picture quality are better than average and the battery life is excellent.
After a months use taking over 700 pictures, the battery life indicator should still be on or around full when using lithium batteries.
Campark T70 Game Camera
First impressions of the T70 is that it’s one solid, rugged camera housing. This is more evident when you look at the IP66 rating, the highest of all the cameras in this review.
This camera will stand up to almost anything the weather elements throws at it. This makes the camera a great choice for setting in harsh environments, such as swamp areas or arid dust and sand terrains.
The other major difference with the T70 compared to the other cameras, is the fact it has No Glow infrared LEDs as opposed to Low Glow emitters.
The No Glow IR night vision makes the camera undetectable to animals or humans, which is a great advantage on public land.
The clam shell case has a 1/4-20 insert at the bottom for tripod mounts, plus a loop for a python lock for added security.
Campark T70 Features
The T70 shares all the menu settings of the other cameras in this review (see above). It does have a couple of extra settings that are only seen on higher end trail cameras.
It’s possible to set the shutter speed for the video mode. There’s 2 settings 1/15 where motion blur is more obvious on fast moving wildlife at night and 1/20 which has less motion blur. A useful feature that gives night time video a sharper image overall at the higher setting.
The other additional setting on the T70 is the ability to adjust the infrared LED strength.
The 3 settings from low, medium and auto allow you to dampen the power of the illumination at night for closer setups where wildlife trigger the camera from several feet. This is something you only see on more expensive trail cameras.

Campark T70 Summary
The Campark T70 is the most feature rich camera in this test. It’s also the most rugged. This makes it the ideal camera for scouting in harsh terrain.
The No Glow night vision is great for covert use on public land, and the ability to adjust the strength of the LED illumination at night is a really neat feature to have on any trail camera.
For wildlife monitoring, scouting and even home security, the T70 is arguably the best of the camera models in this review. Plus the fact it has great battery life is a real added bonus.
