Need a Good Video Trailcam, Suggestions???
 

Looking for a good video trailcam. I currently have two Cuddybacks and love them. Good quality and very reliable. Now I want one in motion video.

Any good suggestions folks? Thanks.

I think for the money the Moultrie M80 is hard to beat. Alot of features for a good price.

I have two of the Moultrie GameSpy M100 which have performed flawlessly. At the time of purchase, there were no M80 in stock. Moultrie cameras: 1)when set to video, take a picture first, then the video. 2)field of view in the video is narrower than in the picture. 3)night video is limited to 10 seconds. As for audio on trail cameras: if one is allowed to set up over baits, this adds realism to the video. Being the microphones on the cameras are so small and can not be covered with a wind sock, they are highly susceptible to noise.
I have seven of the 2009 model Bushnell Trophy Trail cameras and have had good success with them. Bushnell offers a two year manufacture warranty whereas most other manufactures offer one year. Another camera worth checking out is the new SpyPoint with black flash. This is a smaller camera than previous versions, uses "AA" batteries which is a huge plus due to being able to use Lithium batteries in cold weather. I've had excellent customer service with SpyPoint, Bushnell and Moultrie in regards to any emails I have sent. I had two SpyPoint IRB which developed video flicker. SpyPoint checked them out and returned two new cameras of the same series. Good luck in your choice.

I ended up getting a Bushnell trophy Night Vision trailcam. It is so small! I also got a bear cage for it. Both were on sale at Dvor.

I will get in time to take into the woods my next trip to the lease property. Got a few places to scout!@

I am not sure how these are now. I do have one out right now that was an older one. I am not impressed by it at all. Mine has one of the slowest trigger speeds I have ever seen on any camera. It has a flash that is supposed to work at night as well.. The flash at night shows me nothing except for a black picture of nothing at all. I can not even see any trees near it.

But it is an older one from when they first came out.

Thanks for the post thread as I am currently planning on getting another trailcam as well.

Well here is some proof that they are good

Hey PastorJim, quick question for you. You seem to love the M80 a lot but I worry about the battery life woth them. I feel when the colder weather hits it is going to kill the batteries real quick. What is your experience with that? I have 3 Bushnells Trophy Cams and looking to get 3 more here in the next couple weeks. I have no complaints with Bushnell but might want to try something new. I sometimes go 2 months without checking pics so I want to make sure they don't die after a month. What are your opinions?

While there is no doubt that your trail cam worked good for you CabinOutdoors. The one I have is purely nothing but JUNK.. I will show you the proof when I go to check it again. It is also like I stated it was one of the early ones that they had out. No video at all. Just pics that have not proved to be of any good at all. I could walk out in front of it set down, maybe pour a drink and it might flash before I have a chance to take the drink. I will post a couple of pics for you to see when I get a chance to check that one again.

I have not had a problem with any of my moultries and cold weather hurting the batteries. what i did notice this past year was that they would drop faster down to around 65% power and then stay there for a very long time. i ran one camera from Oct to Feb in New Jersey beforei moved it to OH and it said 60% bat from early decemember till late fed and took a ton of pics in that time (probably over 800). with that being said here is a link till moultries internet specials page. they have some good deals at the moment. http://www.moultriefeeders.com/produ...x?id=mfrf90097
hope that helps

As I had suggested I would post a couple of my WildGame Innovation pics.. So here is 2 of them. This first one I think I got lucky with getting..

Now this next pic is what most of my pics come out like..


So for me those WildGame Innovation Trailcams are no good.. Even though you had some pretty decent luck with yours, CabinOutdoors. I will not own another one. Thank You..
