Going to purchase another cam

pnut · 05-12-2011, 02:35 PM

Wanting to add to my (2) Cudde Captures and my Scoutguard SG550.
I love all three of these cams and never had any problems with any of them but I'm wanting to go with something that does higher resolution video w/ sound and preferably has flash.
Is it unlikely to find a video w/sound cam in flash or are all IR's anymore? I haven't had time to read up on chasingames 2011 reviews yet but plan to sometime this week.
Like to stick in the $200-275 range.

Any body got any recommendations?

I don't think there are any white-flash cams that take video at night. I have a Leaf River IR7SS that takes video with audio. The daytime video is really great. Also, you might want to check out the Stealthcam Unit. They have really improved that cam since it first came out.

I think I'm going to steer clear of the Stealths but i did like you Leaf pics and videos.
Which Reconyx do you have? Does it do video?

I have the RC55 but I don't think any Reconyx does video. They take pics so fast that when you scroll through them on the computer, it almost looks like video.

Hey leadoperator, bee busy has that cam for $30 cheaper.
I've bought all my cams from them and they are great to deal with.
This cam looks pretty interesting and it at the top of my list right now because of higher video resolution and sound.
I sent Bee Busy a note asking if it comes in any camo because I wouldn't want one in black.

I talked to Joe at Bee Busy and it turns out that the Bushnell in LeadOperators link is not a black flash (it's a typo on trailcampro's website.) It's actually a "low glow" meaning you can see the IRs with in 10ft of the cam. I verified this on the Bushnell website.
I believe I'm going to keep looking.

Yeah there advertising or typo (whatever u want to call it) is deceiving in their discription of the cam. It does say 40 low-glow LEDs though. If i mislead or misunderstood what you were asking i apologize. It has all the features im looking for in my next cam except for the low glow. For me its either goona be a no glow or a no go! I think i just may sit back and watch and read reviews this year. Good luck on your purchase and let us know what you get!

np buddy. I think I'm going to be buying a Reconyx HC500 anyway.
Just trying to figure out where to buy it from. Prolly from Cabelas.

There is actually no glow to be seen although you can see a small "black light" at 5-6 ft if you are looking directly at it and know exactly where to look. I am very impressed with mine. Check out the video I posted on illumination.
