Homemade Trail Camera
 

I went out to check myStealth Camtoday. I walked in front of it to see if it took any pictures. There were no pictures so I decided to walk in front of it to see if it would take a picture of me. I started at five feet and walked in to touch the camera. It did not take a picture of me. I turned around and it took a picture of me as I was about four feet away. The film then rewinded. I am disappointed that I spent $60 on something that does not work. I heard great reviews, but mine was horrible. I am not going to buy another one.

I remembered a post on here that had directions for making a homemade trail camera. I tried doing a search, but the search is not working for me. Does anyone have the link for that thread?

I do have some good news. A deer tripped my string trap. This string trap was in my back up spot though. I went to check out my main spot and all of the string traps were still set. I walked around for a few minutes and saw several sets of tracks. None of the string traps were tripped though. I swear those deer can fly! :D

In addition to Double Lunger's link you could check out Hag's House (you can Google it)they are very helpful there. Even a technically challenged guy like me was able to build one. :D

Is it cost effective to build your own camera? Or is it simply a matter of better quality?

It'll still run ya over $200 to build your own, and that's if you can find the stuff cheap. It's really more about better quality pics and options than cost savings.

Yes to both.
