Sub $100 Trail Cams
« on: March 24, 2018, 06:46:04 AM »
Looking to update my trail cam inventory before July.  Any recommendations?  I’m not looking to have photos good enough for frames, but I don’t want to miss out on pictures because of slow trigger time. 

Looking to buy 4 most likely.

Thanks in advance!

I have had good luck with the wild game innovation cameras. But my buddy had one and he was complaining about the trigger speed. But I have 3 different ones and they are all pretty good. Especially for the price

Covert mp8 would be my choice.

I’ve been eyeballing these ones.  They’re on my list for sure.   :tup:

I have a couple mp 6's. They're about 4-5 years old and are bullet proof. never fail and battery life is awesome.  not the highest quality photos but you know what you're looking at.  Mp 8's should have the same reliability and better photos.

Love my stealth cam P12 for $43 on amazon. I just bought one of those Bresser 5mp but havent had a chance to set it up yet. Hopefully here in the next month or so i'll have a thread posted with pictures from a bushnell, stealth cam, and this new bresser.

The bushnell had a leak at one point that fried the screen so I can’t adjust the settings, the Stealth cam is my favorite since it’s so small and basic, the bresser is not my favorite but I still recommend it for finding animals in an area. Overall I’d say buy the stealth cam for simplicity but the Bushnell is a long lasting solid machine

Thanks. I have all wildgame innovations cameras and am happy with them. Was wondering mainly about the bresser but with out a time and date stamp it would be no use.

I recently bought 4 stealthcams, they're easy to use just turn the dial to preset #1 and it's a 3 pic burst with 30 second delay between each 3 pic burst - perfect!
