Cheap digital scouting camera
 

I want to buy a cheap digital scouting camera. I've look at Stealth 1.3 Moultrie 1.3 and the Wildview 2.0. What are some of your thoughts on this cameras. Does anyone of them eat batteries more than the other.

I got a moultrie 100 for X-mas and it works great. This is the first I have owned but so far so good. In the last 2 nights I have captured 16 pictures of deer. The photo quality is good and it seems like it will be hard on batteries but don't forget that it is resonably cold at night and it has taken about 25 pictures (inculding me playing around with it in the driveway) . The date is one day behind but that was soon corrected.

I just got a Moultrie 1.3 and put it inthe woods just behind my
house just to get used to using it. It took about 16 pictures in the
last 2 days of a crow, a coon and a squirrel. It seems to take pretty
good pictures and is fairly easy to operate. I would say not bad for
the price. The picture of the coon was at night so the flash seemed
to work good also.

here are some from my moultrie 1.3

I would love to buy one but none of them are cheap enough for me to donate to the local thieves. I was doing some quick scouting last week and found a fresh Busch Light beer can less than 20yds from one of my bow stands. This is a very long ways from the road on private property. I can image what would have happened if a trail cam would have been there. I probably wouldn't have it anymore[:'(]Maybe if they make make one completely theft proof;)

Spiffy what kind of branches are those that those deer seem so interested in? did you pile them there?

RE: Cheap digital scouting camera
 

Wow guys I have always wondered what the pics from those 1.3 pictures look like and hot damn they look pretty good. I will definetly invest in those. Is there some way you can rig the camera up so when it is stolen it will not operate?

THE PICTURE QUALITY ON A MOULTRIEIS NICER THEN WHAT COMES OUT OF MY WILD VIEW

RE: Cheap digital scouting camera
 

Those branches in the photo are cedar. IN the winter the deer seem to go crazy for them and since they don't have to reach they come right to my pile. I also attract them with hay, apples, and grains. I got 6 more of the higher 8 point last night and 3 of a fawn.

Be careful judging a digital scouting camera by seeing a couple of pictures. I'm not trying to say they are trying to lead you astray but out of the ten digital scouting cameras I've used the Moultrie was very dissapointing.

Compared to the others the picture quality, battery life and power up time were very poor.

Take a look at the reviews at my website given below hopefully they will help you make your decision.

Thanks for all you help guys. I think I will go with the Moultrie 200. It seems like most of the cameras work well, but not pleasing all. NOW finding the best price is the hard part. Don't want to pay any more than I have to.

I got a moultire 100 for christmas and it works great. I put it out the first night and got a good picture of this fox. I put it out again today to try to catch on deer on it. I bought mine for $99.99 at a local store. I think if you are going to go with moultrie you should go with the 100 instead of the 200 because you can buy two cameras for the price of one. the pictures arnt as great I am just going to be using mine for scouting and nuisance wildlife control so I dont need the better quailty picture. Just my 2 cents.

how much more clear does one want the pic to be? Heck I just would want to see whats walking around the camera, not how many hairs on its nose. Those look fine to me.

You guys are making me want a digital camera. [8D]

how much is the 1.3

RE: Cheap digital scouting camera
 

the moutrie 1.3 is 100 bucks and the 3.1 is 200 bucks down here.

RE: Cheap digital scouting camera
 

Wildview has 2 cameras. One is the Wildview ( $69 ) and the other is Wildview2( $100)


Wildview does not print date or time and is limited to a 15ft flash range. 0.3 megapixel

Wilview2 prints date and time, Not sure of the flash range, and it can take video clips, 2.0 megapixel


I got the Wildview and my dad has the Wildview2. His pictures don't show very much at night.

I got the moultrie 100 and its kinda hard a first...u gotta have the motion sensor like just perfect...its not real good the the trails but only if u have it pointed up the trail a lil ways..but i use it for my baitpiles and scrapes and other spots where they will be ther fora lil longer...it takes a lil longer to flash..mine take bout 10 sec..dunno y tho but i like that cause it will let the deer come in and settle down a bit..also if thers alota hunters in ur area i would go with the 100 since itscheaper than the 200..so yeah..just a lil info on my experience
