I couldn't take it any more, I had to buy a trail camera. I just bought the cheapo Stealth model, and I know, I get what I pay for. Anyway, I was wondering, from you fellas that have used this model, did the "test" function work like you expected? I set the camera out yesterday, and found that I couldn't get the little green test light to come on unless I was directly in front of the cam, about 8 feet or closer. Once I got beyond that distance, the light would not come on. I tried it in both modes, near and far, without any change. Did y'all have the same results? Is this normal? If not, does it seem like I set it up wrong or is the unit not working properly? I did manage to make it take a mugshot of me, and the LCD displayed "1", so hopefully I loaded the darn film correctly.

I see all the pics that y'all post, and I just had to get one.

Thanks for any help and advice!
