Got robbed, need a more reliable trail cam. ????
« on: November 23, 2016, 10:30:34 AM »
Howdy.
Yesterday we were robbed and wouldn't you know it, my old Moultrie trail cam didn't do it's job. I am looking for a few semi inexpensive cameras with the black or non detectable i.r.   What would you folks recommend as far as reliability and ease of use?
Thank you

Yeah. They got 2 computers with all of our tax and business info, antique guns, jewelry and family heirlooms. If my camera had been working we might be in better shape.

Get a camera that has IR. Shouldnt be detected at all. I also highly recommend a lockbox for it. I used CAMLOCKBOX and it worked great

Yea look at the moultries with blackout. Another option might be going wireless so if you are at work or away you are notified

Bushnell aggressor no glow.  Youll find ebay to be the cheapest source for trail cams, 99% of the time.

I'd probably look more into an actual security camera setup with recording ability.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

All of my $$ valuables and papers are in my safe and are good. They only took 2 guns. One old octagon barrel 30 lever action and my Grandfathers Winchester 80 year old .22 lr.  My wife's diamonds and expensive jewelry was in the safe. We are getting a permanent security/ camera system but the trail cams are for special remote spots.  Thanks for the input folks !

Yes sir. I got tired of all the Kalifornia liberalism running the state and moved south, young man... So much nicer here. I can ride my ATV's anyplace I want, except freeways ( motorcycle license ). Everybody loves guns, I mean everybody and hunting. Fishing too I guess. I'm actually 20 miles north of Nogales Arizona.... :tup: :tup: :tup: :tup:
