Stealth Camera Sucks
 

It's been a while since I've posted, but felt this was important. Has anyone had as much trouble with the Stealth cameras as I have. In my opinion they are junk. Bought a $400 Infrared unit. I can doa rain dance in front of this thing before it triggers a pic. Never again. Think about this before you buy a Stealth!

i will also have to agree with you, i bought one, for $300 and it was junk! i had to send it in to get repaired 3 times in 2 years... also every time you send it in you have to pay $50 right away, bunch of BS!!! and agreed with the slow trigger speed, you HAVE to have bait in order for them to take good pictures...

I'd rather spend the 300 bills on a pair of boots......

I know the older 35 mm ones are junk I have 2 in the bottom of my lake. HAven't used the new ones.

Youre 100% wrong. Heres some pics that I got not too long ago from my 35mm Stealth, which i have had no problem with at all. Just because youve had bad experiences with them doesnt make them junk. Ask someone who has had one since they came out. I have mine set to takeone pic per minute per movement and it works. I use only high quality film in mine and use no more than 24 exposure. I had this roll filled in 3-4 days, with no missed pics.

I agree,the first one I got was in the winter and there was tracks in the snow for a week and it never took a pic,I have switched to leaf rivers and the best buy for the money i think is the moultrie I40 from ebay around 200.00 ,batteries last forever.I was taking 900 pics a week for 3 months and still had battery life.

I agree that Stealth Cam is poor quality. I bought the new EPIC small camera. It is pretty much worthless.Very poor light resolution. Even in the woods during the day. Wish I had not purchased it.

Here is my opinion on the matter:













Now i will say that they are bad on batteries, and that they can have whiteouts. But for the $179.99 i paid for mine last year im satisfied. Recently i found out that my camera had a defect and would not recognize the 12V external battery, i called Stealth Cam and they gave me a number to include with my camera and i shipped it to them. I just havnt got it back in the mail yet.

I guess I got lucky. I have used 2 STC-wd2 digital cams with the regular flash for the last 2 years and never had a problem knock on wood. I also have a Moultrie I40 too which works fine. I just need to try the firmware upgrade for the occasional white-outs that occur.

I like the post about "2 at the bottom of my lake"... Mine ended up being used for traction while getting my truck out of some mud. While not as sophisticated as the Stealth cams, I now use the new Cuddeback "Capture" cameras. Fantastic picture quality. Plus, really good battery life. I get about 25 days (with approx. 1000 shots) on 4 D-cell batteries; even using the flash. And it's a pretty quick trigger, too... I actually can see the entire deer and not just their butts, as they walk through.

Yeah I've had nothing but troubles with mine. It's a battery hog ! ! !

cuddeback is the best

What ever happened to looking for signs? Bag of salt, camera, tree stand, range finder. Whats left to hunting??

RE: Stealth Camera Sucks
 

I bought six of the Stealth ir cameras this year and only 1 of them has worked worth a darn!!!!!!!!!! I am going to try and contact someone with Stealth and see if they have any advice. They burn up batteries, take very poor pictures when they work and won't keep the date and time set for crap. I will never spend another dime on them you couldn't run me down and give a truck load of them.

RE: Stealth Camera Sucks
 

If you guys have had so much trouble with the Stealth camera, what are cameras that you guys have had the best experience with? I'm going to be in the market for a couple real soon and I'd like some real-life reviews!

i got one of thore for my birthdaya fewyears ago...biggestpeice ofhuntingcrap i have ever owned i could drive by it and it would do not do a thing and i had a screwed up film rewinder

RE: Stealth Camera Sucks
 

I have the sniper stealth 6.0 MP cam... I think it is OK. The battery life sucks as normal but at least you can plug the 12V battery in for a month's worth. I think the pics are clear but you are right about the trigger time..

Oh and my internal memory will not download to any PC. I keep getting a MDCS or some kind of error.. only way I can get my pics is removing my memory card
