We compared two solar-powered WiFi trail cameras: the VIDVIS 4K 64MP Solar Trail Camera and the CoolifeX Solar Wildlife Camera.
What we looked at
Photo resolution, trigger speed, and price.
The verdict
If you want the highest stated resolution (64MP photos, 4K video) with a faster 850nm low-glow night vision, the VIDVIS is the pick at £47.98, though it costs £1.99 more. If you would rather pay slightly less for a faster 0.1s trigger with a 32GB SD card included, the CoolifeX is the alternative, at £45.99.
