Moultrie Security Box

[Canuck33]

Anyone have or seen the Moultrie security box? I was thinking of getting one however I'm not sure about the mounting system. I really like the tree mounts but they don't add much security. The box looks like it does however I'm not sure how you mount it to the tree if it is still with the chinsey straps I think it would be a pain in the key.

The box is mounted to the tree with screws. You can put in around 10 screws into the tree making it nearly impossible to remove from the tree with brute force. The front cover is a little more flimsy than I would like, but not extremely bad. The major drawback to this product is the tiny lock that comes with it (see picture below). This lock wouldn't stand up to the cheapest pair of bolt cutters and the hole is too small to allow a larger lock. The box basically will keep honest people honest and that is it.

If you want a better security box, look at camlockbox.com. This is a much better made product - heavier, thicker guage steel, and you can use a lot bigger lock on it. A thief will have to work much harder to get to your camera. $10 cheaper too.

i bought my security box off of Ebay. it was made by an independent person, not Moultrie and is ALOT better made. i took the cinch straps off my I40 and run them through the box to attach the box to the tree (illegal to screw or nail anything to trees on public land here in Florida). once the cam is in the box, i run a Python cable through the top of the box (it actually runs through the box itself and front cover of the steel box) and around the tree. this prevents anyone from removing the box from the tree without heavy duty bolt cutters. then i finally placed a padlock on the bottom of the box which keeps anyone from opening the box and taking the camera.
