Rather than just list a ‘top 10’ as other articles do, we instead always break things down into features.

So – this article provides a real, experience-led rundown of the actual best trail cameras available in 2022, using our trail camera expertise. Obviously, NatureSpy sell the trail cameras mentioned here – though we are also a non-profit social enterprise, with all proceeds going back into the projects we work with globally. Most of these sites purely exist to give ‘reviews’ of tech and generate income from the clicks this generates, or only include links to retailers that have paid them to list certain camera models. We see time and again ‘reputable’ blogs or ‘tech experts’ linking to cameras that we know are dreadful, or where there are much better options for the price. The big problem is that the vast majority of these articles – from publishers large and small – are doing so because they earn commission when someone clicks on a link and buys a camera. To confuse things further, there are now a chunk of articles that purport to advise on the ‘best trail cameras of 2022’ or similar – running down features and prices, and ranking them. Why you can’t always trust ‘best of’ articles! We get a lot of emails every week from people who have chosen those cameras…! It’s probably no surprise that those wildlife cameras are in the main dreadful – using fake, stock images to demonstrate their features, with highly dubious reviews, no customer support and prices that are too good to be true. Not only are there more trail cameras from major manufacturers, but also a huge amount of generic, very similar cameras available, all promising every feature you can imagine, on large online marketplaces named after rainforests.
