Default Best Trail Cam...Scoutguard 550v???

Any of you ever heard of the Scoutguard Game Cameras, i.e. Scoutguard 550v game camera.

I would like to here any testimonials/reviews on the product....because if it is truly a great camera...its an excellent price for the options/specs that it boasts.

Thanks and let me know any information you have.

Default RE: Best Trail Cam...Scoutguard 550v???

This is the next upgrade from the original Scout Guard SG550 that has been around for about a year. The V model is like the sg550 except that it now has a built in viewer in the remote. Has slightly different hardware and software to accommodate the viewer capabilities. Same size and look still holding on as the smallest trail cam on the market. I have 2 of the SG550V series running 24/7 since it came out beginning of this year and have had no issues with it. There are some reviews on chasingame.com that you can search on for more info..............

I think the best way to say it would be the best cam on the market in that price range. It depends on what features you are looking for. Size, features, battery life, picture quality? Etc....

I have one and plan to buy another soon.
I bought mine from Bee Busy Outdoors.
Smoking fast shipping and great customer service.

I posted a series of pics on Sunday.
So far I love it.
The IR takes a bit of getting used to because I've had flash for so long.
