Trail cams question (IR without the light)
This is kind of in reference to my thread on the IR flash spooking my 8 point with my No flash Cuddeback. Is there a IR cam that does not use any kind of light to take night pictures and video's? I'm done with these IR Trail Cams that use there tiny red dots to gain light, they spook just as many deer as far as I'm concerned.

Man, at 6 Benjamins for the no IR Reconix I'll stick with my $50 flash jobs. The deer don't seem to mind the flash and are always looking at my IR camera.
I'll be willing to be that come next year there will be more filtered IR cameras out and the price will drop on them.

Of course it could. It could also be low batteries causing louder cycling of the mechanisms. It could be many things.

Schultzy, have you tested that video to try to hear if it makes any noisewhile recording? Ihave had only an occasional deer spook because of the flash from myCuddeback EXCITE. I'm not talking about mature bucks though, because they are few and far between in my specific hunting area.

There are several camera hitting the market with black IR....predator, reconyx and buck eye I think...predator should be the cheapest around $500....these cams are way better than $50 cams in trigger,picture quality and technology imho
