Unboxing and First Impressions
The Voopeak TC07 arrives in a box that teases its "super quick Trigger Time" among other intriguing features. Full disclosure: I've previously opened this box and had my hands on the device, primarily to set it up using the accompanying app. However, let's walk you through the contents and initial setup.

Inside the box, apart from the camera itself, you'll find an instruction manual that provides a comprehensive guide, including how to sync the camera with its app. For those who've used trail cameras before, the setup process will be quite familiar — the TC07 doesn't stray far from the norm here.
Distinctive Features
A standout addition to the TC07 is the solar power bank manual, which is a nod to the camera's unique selling point — its solar panel. This isn't just any trail camera; it's one that harnesses the power of the sun.

The camera arrives with all its sensors and ports protected by removable seals. Included in the box is a USB charger cable (not Type-C, which would have been more convenient), a mount, a strap for tree attachment, and an intriguing cover whose purpose isn't immediately clear.
The Camera Itself
Upon inspection, the TC07 appears robust and well-made with a bottom mount for tripod attachment — a thoughtful feature for stationary surveillance. The camera promises 60-megapixel photos and 4K video recording, a spec that's impressive on paper.

The camera's solar panel is detachable for charging, though it's reported to be a bit snug at first. Once fitted on top of the camera, it clicks into place, giving the unit a slightly different silhouette than your typical trail cam.
In the Field
After tearing off all the protective seals, I took the TC07 out into the woods for a real-world test. The camera, which can also house its own batteries as a backup, was ready to document the wilderness.

I set up the camera using a tripod instead of mounting it to a tree. The app, called Hunting 4K, connected seamlessly to the camera, allowing me to adjust settings and get a live feed of what the lens was capturing — an essential feature when it comes to positioning the camera in the optimal spot.
The Results
After a couple of nights out in the woods, the evidence of activity was clear — the peanut butter bait had vanished. The app showed thumbnails of the nocturnal visitors: a massive rat and, excitingly, a badger.

The footage was revealing. During the day, the camera captures clear images of the surrounding environment.

At night, it switches to night vision mode, delivering equally impressive results.

Even in low light situations, it can handle image recording very well and can still take very clear pictures without problems such as overexposure or unclear image quality.
The dual-lens system and its starlight night vision capabilities prove its worth.

It is worth noting that its trigger speed is very sensitive. Small animals will be triggered and start recording even if they are far away or just enter the shooting range. I think this is very worthy of recognition.
Final Verdict
The Voopeak TC07 Trail Camera stands up to scrutiny. It delivers on its promises with high-quality footage and ease of use that both novices and experienced users will appreciate. The added features, like the solar panel, make it a sustainable option for long-term monitoring. Though I have yet to decipher the purpose of the mysterious cover and there's a slight inconvenience with the non-Type-C USB cable, these are minor drawbacks in an otherwise stellar performance.
