Hi Guys and Girls
We just got some new stock in of our popular solar powered trail cameras from Campark which have now been rebranded to VooPeak. The main difference is that VooPeak are the exact same cameras but with slightly upgraded features. VooPeak representing the newer models that have improved software, performance, and features like starlight night vision. So when comparing between Campark and Vooeak, with VooPeak you are looking at the brand’s new and improved line of products versus its older models, with Voopeak offering the latest technology.
Ok lets jump into a bit of a review on the new VooPeak TC22 Solar Powered Trail Camera. We have been testing this trail camera extensively ourselves and have also added below info from other review sights which we have found to be accurate and aligns well with our testing.
The Voopeak TC22 is a solar-powered trail camera with 4K 30FPS video, 60MP photos, and a dual-lens design. It delivers exceptional daytime and lowlight image quality with solid night time infrared performance. Trigger range reaches 70–80 feet, with fast response to lateral movement. Battery life is excellent, even in winter and with limited sun. The TC-22 can record up to 2 minutes continuously, including at night. Setup is straightforward with a bright internal screen, and the design is rugged, though the integrated battery isn’t swappable.
The VooPeak TC22 Trail Camera is a solar-powered, dual-lens game camera designed for outdoor wildlife monitoring.
It features a dual-lens system equipped with the IMX458 image sensor and Novatek 96670 chip, providing 60MP still photos and exceptional 4K video recording at 30 frames per second.
The starlight night vision capability enhances colour clarity in low-light conditions, while its infrared functionality extends visibility to a 65-foot range in complete darkness.
This VooPeak TC22 trail camera supports H.265 video compression, optimizing memory usage by saving up to 90% more storage than traditional MJPG formats.
Wireless connectivity options include Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, enabling remote management via a dedicated app with a range of up to 49 feet.
Users can preview, adjust settings, and monitor recordings seamlessly through their smartphones as well as live view.
The VooPeak TC22 trail camera is powered by an integrated 4400mAh rechargeable battery, which can be charged via its built-in solar panel or a USB Type-C connection. This dual-charging capability ensures flexible power options.
With sufficient sunlight, the camera can operate continuously. Even with at least one hour of sunlight per day, the VooPeak TC22 can maintain uninterrupted operation.
Alternatively, the camera can remain on standby for up to 12 months on a full charge.
Designed for rugged environments, the TC22 is rated IP66 waterproof and operates reliably across extreme weather conditions.
Additional features include a 0.1-second trigger speed, a 120° wide-angle lens, and three capture modes: photo, video, or hybrid.

Detection Range
In field testing, the TC22 consistently picked up motion at distances in the 70 to 80 foot range, especially in open environments.
That said, it’s clear the sensor performs best when the animal is closer to the centre of the frame. Side entry triggers more reliably than movement along the edges but the camera’s response can be inconsistent if the subject is small or moving along the periphery.
For a solar powered camera the distance it picks up larger wildlife is solid, and it performs reliably in the conditions we typically see in Australia.
Speed
Speed is where things get more nuanced. The TC22 definitely favours side-to-side movement, if an animal is walking laterally across the frame, the trigger is quick and responsive.
But if it’s coming head-on, especially fast-moving species like canids, the camera sometimes starts recording just a bit too late, particularly in video mode where the start up delay is more obvious, and on a few occasions, the VooPeak TC22 only partially captured the running fox.
Still images seem to fire off quicker than video, but for animals moving straight in at speed, there’s a chance you might catch only the tail end. This is where choosing your setup angle pay off big time. We found by having the camera set on a slight angle so any approaching animals came in laterally across the sensors it picked them up nearly 100% of the time.
Accuracy
False triggers were rare during testing, even in windy conditions. The PIR sensor is tuned well enough that we didn’t see many wasted captures from waving grass or shifting shadows, something that’s surprisingly common with other trail cams.
It takes a decent amount of environmental movement to set it off unintentionally, which tells me the sensor is filtering out noise effectively.
When a trigger did occur, it was almost always an actual animal. This level of accuracy matters when you’re sifting through thousands of images during research projects, and the VooPeak TC22 kept the junk data to a minimum. Once again setup is crucial to reducing false triggers.
Battery Life
Battery performance on the TC-22 has been one of the more surprising standouts in long-term testing.
Two units were used in wide-open areas with decent winter light exposure, and even through freezing temps both cameras held a consistent charge between 90–100%. That’s with daily triggering, short video clips, and freezing conditions.
In another test a unit in a shaded, wooded area with almost no direct sunlight over 4 months is still sitting at around 60–70% battery, which is impressive considering the limited solar input.
From what we’ve seen, if you can place the TC-22 in a location with even moderate sun exposure, it can stay out indefinitely without manual charging.
The internal battery is not removable, which is one of the few drawbacks of this camera. If the battery drains from high triggers or a long stretch of cloud cover with insufficient sun, you’ll need to bring the camera home to recharge it via USB-C.
However, for most use cases with at least partial sun, the integrated solar setup does its job well and requires minimal intervention.
Daylight Images
Under full daylight, the TC-22 really delivers. The 4K video clips clarity holds up impressively well with tight edge definition, strong subject separation, and little to no visible motion blur on animals walking through the frame.
The detail in fur texture, tree bark, and background is rendered cleanly without over sharpening or compression artifacts, which speaks to the strength of the camera’s native bitrate and the H.265 codec.
Colour accuracy is another strong point. Midday light tends to wash out hues in many cameras, especially when snow is in the frame, but the TC-22 preserves neutral tones without leaning into artificial saturation.
You still get rich browns in deer coats, clean white highlights in snow, consistent blues in shaded terrain or sky reflections, and no obvious colour casts even in complex sun-shade transitions.
Dynamic range is surprisingly capable. In mixed light conditions, like late afternoon sun filtering through trees or animals walking from sun to shadow, the exposure remains stable without harsh blowouts or crushed blacks.
This is especially valuable for researchers who need to analyse animal features or track markings in varied terrain lighting.
The VooPeak TC22 handles full daylight and high-contrast conditions with a level of sharpness and tonal control that outperforms many other trail cameras.
Lowlight Images
Low light performance on the TC-22 was surprisingly consistent across various early morning and pre-dawn conditions, and the camera handles ambient blue-hour lighting well.
Exposure is balanced, and the dynamic range holds up enough to distinguish detail in both the foreground and background.
Even with minimal sunlight, shadowed areas don’t clip too harshly, and there’s enough tonal separation to retain texture in fur, ground debris, and distant terrain.
Grain does increase slightly, as expected, and is most visible in the midtones and shadowed zones like underbrush and tree trunks, but ISO noise is well controlled considering the lighting.
The built-in image processing avoids over-sharpening, which helps preserve a more natural look to the fur detail and slope texture.
Colour retention is still present, though muted. You can see neutral browns and greens holding tone without a strong cast, even as the camera shifts into higher ISO compensation.
The low light output is highly usable for identification and behavioural study. Animals remain recognizable and well-defined, and motion blur is minimal with slower-moving subjects.
The TC-22 delivers better-than-expected clarity before full sunrise, which is crucial for wildlife that tends to be most active around dawn and dusk.
Night Images
In full darkness, the VooPeak TC22 game camera produces clean and highly usable black-and-white imagery using its red-glow infrared flash system.
Depending on the subject distance, the sensor adjusts flash intensity fairly well, and overexposure is minimal when the camera is mounted at a reasonable height.
Like most trail cameras using standard IR arrays, the TC-22 captures night time footage in monochrome. The red IR emitters are visible to the human eye, which could alert or startle more sensitive species.
This is a trade off that comes with red-glow over no-glow systems, but in return, you typically get better illumination and slightly sharper image detail, both of which hold true here.
Animals are well-defined in the frame, and you are able to distinguish antler structure, body posture, and movement patterns without issue.
Ground texture and environmental features like brush or snow cover remain sharp to a reasonable distance from the lens.
The IR throw is strong enough to cover medium-range paths and open corridors, and motion blur is kept under control for most walking speed animals.
For standard night time monitoring, especially on trails or feeding routes, the TC-22 holds its own with consistent grayscale rendering, balanced exposure, and dependable illumination.
Design
The TC-22 features a vertically stacked design with an integrated solar panel mounted flush to the top of the housing. The build is solid and well-sealed, with a front-facing dual-lens system and a large PIR sensor window.
The onboard screen is protected behind the clamshell-style casing and is bright enough to navigate menus and review captures even in direct sunlight.
Internal controls are tactile and responsive, with clearly labelled directional buttons and dedicated toggles for menu, playback, and mode switching.
The housing includes standard latch-style closures and mounting slots on the rear for both included straps and Python cables.
A standout functional detail is the camera’s ability to continue recording for up to two minutes while motion is ongoing, even at night.
Most manufacturers that offer this feature, including Browning, cap night videos at 20 seconds. This extended recording feature is a major asset for behavioural monitoring or when trying to capture entire animal sequences rather than short clips.
