cam security
« on: December 24, 2012, 01:15:22 AM »
im using the masterlock python cables and lock boxes on my trail cameras, and was wondering if anybody has ever had a camera stolen while using these or if everybody who talks about losing cameras just had the little straps that cameras come with that can be cut or unbuckled.

I have 3 Primos truth cam 60 cameras set up on public land. Each camera is enclosed in a steel security box that is lag bolted to the tree and then held together with a python cable. I've had people mess with them a little and then give up. I've never had any problems as far as having somebody steal a camera but my theory is that if somebody wants it than they could cut the cable or something but they are going to REALLY have to work at it. A lock is to keep an honest man honest.

"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?

I take alot of time to make sure my cameras are secure. (much more than I should have to) :bash:  I do the things you guys do and more. My wifw is the only other person that knows how and what it takes to get my cams off a tree. Lets just say it would be easier to cut the tree down. If a guy wants to do that to get my cam then he must need it more than I do. Good Luck to everyone on kepping your gear safe.
