I use(d) my camera for both a university project and personal use. It takes good pictures and video. The options are limited however. Can't set to take pictures AND video. I had multiple trail cameras up in one spot and this one picked up about 75% of total animals. Never experienced any water damage in rain and snow. Long battery life even in consistent cold.
Overall, worth the money but I upgraded to the DS4KMAX and am much happier.
