I'm looking to buy a new trail cam, I'll be using it around the trails near the house this year so I can get a better idea what is coming down a few trails from the hills. My old ones flash which I'm getting away from, have any of you used any on this list with good results? I also would like the Cam to have a viewing screen on it. Top 10 Trail Cameras 2020
For sure that is a weird top ten list. Someone trying to make sales. Try www.trailcampro for cameras. You can talk to someone there and they are decent. One good thing is their 90 day program and if you buy from them they double the warranty. I've had no problems with them. I use mainly the Browning dark ops, but there are several good ones out there.
Im a gambling man.... I bet you are. I bet you dont get 1/2 or more of the pic’s you should. On that list you provided, no doubt I would only buy the Bushnell’s if I bought any of them.
I picked up a Campark Mini Trail Camera off amazon for like $40. It worked fine in the backyard when I was testing it. I hung it up at my hunting spot a month ago and I'll be checking the pics on Saturday (archery opening). I'll report back Saturday or Sunday. Hopefully nobody stole it lol.
I got this a couple of years ago to see what was going on in my garden and back yard. It works well. No visible light. Great night pics. I got 8 good quality recharge batteries. Economical to use.
Well I've got like 7 or 9 of them for my yard... ... For both trespassers and predators.... I've got like 3 styles... I've got a Browning, a Bushnell, and the rest are the Stealth Cams...All are the dark style. My personal favorite is the Browning Dark Ops Pro XD Dual Lens (basically One lens for Daytime and one Lens for Nighttime)(it has a nice screen)($219 in 2019)... The Bushnell Does good... But eats batteries ... Then I have the Stealth Cams are good I think like $70 ish from Amazon (black Friday), no screen though....But they do a very decent job. The only thing about them is that each time you put a card in, you must go through the process of formatting them in the camera. Otherwise they may or not take pictures... Just very particular...
I've had good success with Browning. Dark Ops and Command Ops. Not sure if they still make the Command Ops, but it used to be right around $100, no screen though. I've had some Primos and Bushnell ones in the past, but didn't have much luck with them.
I should add that you should use lithium batteries in trail cams. I didn't before but now I do. Not sure why but the cameras will last a lot longer and the batteries themselves really last a long time. Pictures taken with an old Browning Dark ops.
update from the tree stand: I would not recommend this trail cam. Screen isn’t turning on now and the pic quality not that good. Also the time and date got messed up.
I bought this, I don't use it outside though, it's more a security camera but it seems ok. It's cheap and does what I need it to except it has issues picking up motion from outside the room it is in even though it's only 10 feet from the door entrance. I think it's more the way the lighting is in the room.
I went with the Meidase S3 Trail Game Cameras 20MP HD 1080P H.264, Fast 0.1s Trigger Time, 0.5s Recovery Time, 82ft Motion Detecting, 100ft Night Vision, Waterproof Cams for Outdoor Wildlife Trail I wanted the 32MP but they were out, it came in later today so I did a quick setup and put it on a tree, hopefully tomorrow it will have some animals on it. I think the red in the picture is the brake lights from the Rhino going by. Tomorrow I'll switch it over to the video, we'll see how the quality of the vids are.
I rehung mine last Sunday. Took video mode off, reset the date and time and put in fresh batteries. Hoping taking it out of video will get me more than 87 total images before crapping out like last time. The property owner was talking to a neighbor and the neighbor informed him that he had an 8 pointer on camera. So apparently there's a decent deer walking around among all of the does. If he showed up on my camera there's no way I would of said anything lol.
I put ours in a new place since the gully had nothing for action except for something smaller setting it off.
