I have had several different brands of cameras. Right now we have Cuddeback Excite, Cuddeback Capture and a Bushnell trophy cam out. I am not yet a fan of IR cameras as any movement shows a blurry picture. The bushnell takes nice pics, but again, moving pictures leave a lot to be desired. I like the Cuddebacks, but the battery life in cold weather is sub par. I do agree, you get what you pay for. My Dad bought several cheap cameras and returned every one of them. I am now in the market for a new camera and will let you know what I choose and why. Have a merry Xmas!

P.S. If you are have camera mounting problems, contact me! I have a great product for you. [email protected]
