Get the model number and do an internet search for reviews.  If it is what they had last year they were not very well liked by the majority of users.  For $100 dollars you can buy a Moultrie m80 which is a great cam.  It will not come with an sd card or any of the accessories but it will work. 

If you can take a picture with your phone and post it here.

Check ebay as well. I was able to pick up a couple Primos Ultra 35's for around $62 apiece camera only. I have been really happy with the picture quality so far.

A quick search for reviews reveals very little.  One review states that the sensor only triggers out to 15-20 feet when it is advertised as 50 ft range.  Other reviews state it takes great pictures (quality wise).  The older 7 mp model gets great reviews so who knows....it may be a pretty good deal. 

Cost on the internet shows $100 -150 without accessories.  So $99 with accessories is a pretty good deal.  Buy one and let us know how it works.

I read a review that was mostly good, however, it sounds like the downside to this camera is battery life. The review said that even if the camera took zero pictures, it would last no more than 40 days. I wouldn't buy it for that reason.

Had a buddy buy 2 of these last year. I set one of his and one of my Moultries up side by side and his only triggered about half the time :bash: so they miss ALOT of pics.......
