Rank #5 in Best Trail Camera 2026: 10 Ranked, and the mAh Numbers That Don't Add Up
MAXDONE Solar Wildlife Camera 4K 64MP WiFi
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The MAXDONE Solar Wildlife Camera 4K 64MP sits fifth in this guide and is the cheapest camera in it at £49.99. It is a 64MP stills, 4K video trail camera with a solar panel, a built-in rechargeable battery, Bluetooth and its own WiFi for app control, and a 32GB SD card already fitted. It carries a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 725 ratings.
Its finding is the one that runs through this whole group: the battery figure. This camera advertises 2,000mAh. The other MAXDONE listing in the guide, the PH970S, advertises 6,000mAh on the same 64MP and 32GB headline specs, and sells at £52.98 or £58.99 depending on which of its two listings you open. Three MAXDONE cameras, the same resolution and storage claims, and battery numbers differing threefold. Two smaller details on this page do not line up either: the bullet point calls 0.1 seconds a fast trigger, while the specification table files the same 0.1 seconds under maximum shutter speed, and the room type is given as Office for a camera the rest of the listing describes as outdoor. Everything on this page comes from the camera's own Amazon listing, not from any test of our own.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“This camera is amazing. I was a bit worried initially because the price fell too low for what it claims to do, but so far, it's proved to be great. Easy to install, use, connect to etc the quality of the pictures and videos is incredible (the videos have sound). It even comes with a SD card. The app is definitely easier than most camera apps out there (tip: make sure you enable both Bluetooth and local network to connect to your camera) and it doesn't require a subscription. It comes with a solar panel as well as a charging cable. The field of view is very good, we've installed it on our garden and it picks up everything. The motion detector works very well. We like it so much that we have just purchased a second one.”
