Rank #3 in Best Trail Camera 2026: 10 Ranked, and the mAh Numbers That Don't Add Up
MAXDONE 4K 60MP Wildlife Camera with 32GB Card
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MAXDONE 4K 60MP wildlife camera sits third in this guide at £42.99, with a 4.5-star average from 1,130 ratings. It is the one camera in the group that never quotes a milliamp-hour figure: the listing says it runs on 8× 1.5V AA batteries (not included), with an optional 5V/6V 1.5-2A DC adapter through a standard 3.5mm jack. Whatever the other listings are doing with their battery numbers, this one does not join in.
It does have numbers that disagree with each other, just not those ones. The bullets and the specification table both claim 60MP stills, while the same specification table lists a "Rear Webcam Resolution" of 48 MP. It lists night vision as "Thermal Sensing" while the bullets describe 850nm low-glow IR LEDs, and gives "Room Type: Office" for a camera sold for tree mounting and garden use. The rating breakdown supplied with the listing adds up to 100 ratings — 75 of them five-star — against the 1,130 ratings shown. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing as it stands: specification, price, ratings and customer reviews. We have not tested this camera.

Questions people ask
Does the MAXDONE 4K 60MP trail camera quote a battery capacity in mAh?
No. The listing states it runs on 8× 1.5V AA batteries (not included) and supports an optional 5V/6V 1.5-2A DC adapter through a 3.5mm jack. No milliamp-hour figure appears anywhere on the page.
Is the MAXDONE camera 60MP or 48MP?
Both numbers appear on the listing. The bullet points and the "Effective Still Resolution" specification say 60MP, while the "Rear Webcam Resolution" specification says 48 MP. The listing does not reconcile the two.
What night vision does the MAXDONE wildlife camera use?
The bullets describe 850nm low-glow IR LEDs with a 65FT range. The specification table instead lists the night vision type as "Thermal Sensing", which does not match the 850nm IR description in the bullets.
What is included in the box?
A 32GB micro SD card, a wall mount, an installation belt and a threaded tripod. The camera supports cards up to 512GB.
How weatherproof is the MAXDONE trail camera?
The listing gives an IP66 waterproof rating and a working temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, in a heavy-duty camouflage case.
How do the 1,130 ratings break down?
The breakdown supplied with the listing adds up to 100: 75 five-star, 15 four-star, 6 three-star, 1 two-star and 3 one-star. That is 100 ratings against the 1,130 shown on the listing.
