Stealth Cam STC-I450

[Joe D.]

I just purchased a stealth camera (STC-I450) at a local sporting goods store and was wondering if anyone else had one or could offer some pros/cons. I tried it last night in my house and it sees that the flash whites everything out in the pic. AmI doing something wrong? I assume that the backdropof the walls could have something to do with this.

Is the flash something that i should be worried about as far as spooking the deer.

Any advice or experience with this camera would be appreciated.

that's last years model. i paid $139 each for both of mine then (just so you know).

the i450 is prone to 'whiteout' pictures. you'll also get blackouts. pretty much anything in a one hour window at sunset and sunrise will be a whiteout - that's just the way that camera works.

also, it sucks batteries. you'll want to get a stealth cam 12v battery kit. that kit will last about a month, depending on the number of pictures it takes.

i sound more negative about the cam then I really am. It takes GREAT pictures and the flash is awesome! I bought 2 for a reason. there are better options this year though, in other words, i won't be buying a third.

Oh, one more thing. the camera says it accepts 2gb cards but I haven't heard of anyone actually getting one to work - i've tried quite a few of them with no luck.

Pretty much what Rackluster said, it has a very powerfull flash so anything that in too close will be a whiteout. Give the deer 15-20 feet and you will be fine.
