well PastorJim you got me to thinking about the old TrailMaster so I got it out of the box and installed a fresh set of batteries to see if it would still work and guess what it powered up great so I began to look for the camera and found it. I installed the IR only since I don't have any film to see if it would still trigger tonight on some game near a crossing by the house. I'm curious if it will still trigger? the setup light blinks so I think everything is okay. I remember the manual saying that the sensors would eventually faid over time and you could put it in a closet and check to see if it trigger with no true event happening. It was this reason that I assumed that it would no longer work. I'm going to get some film and see if the whole package will work again. Thanks.
