Best trail cam for money

[tim03b]

Hey guys! Im in the market for a new game cam and was wondering which one is best for the money. Im looking for something with infrared and video with sound but am open to suggestions.
Thanks, Tim

Tim,

Do you really need the sound? If not, hands down buy Reconyx if you want the best of the best. Sound is only available on very few models which really limits your choices. Another course of action and probably the best is to find you a homebrewer who builds video cams. That is really where you get the best and sound to boot.

I have done some camera testing for a local archery shop.
I used a Predator Traileye IR.
It has sound when in video mode.
The day time still pictures this thing takes are to die for, but I did not care for videos at all.
To me, the sound was worthless and the longest max video is 10 seconds with the shortest delay being 30 seconds.

Here are a few videos.

For me the new SG 580V is a great camera and have sound. I dont have it but I have read some reviews.
