Never heard of Muddy.

I think I'd go with the Stealth Cam for $5 more:

I think the the muddy ones are a new arrival product.
So don't rip my head off ,if there junk.
But I bought two myself,so I'll be in the same boat as you.
Bobcat posted a link there to a little better one if quality is your thing.
I still have a few 30 dollar ones from two years ago that are still working,so I'll risk it .
I've had them in my cart for almost two weeks waiting for free shipping to pop again. It did this mourning ,so right after I poped my order in ,posted link for ya guys.

Muddy cams are made by stealth cam. If you buy a muddy cell cam, you use the stealth cam app. All cheap cams can have issues, Muddy cams are no more or less likely to.

There’s nothing more expensive then a cheap cam.

-they rarely last more than a year
-battery life sucks
-they corrupted SD cards
-take horrible pictures
-terrible sensitivity

I bought three cheapies a couple of years ago. They all don’t work anymore and two corrupted SD cards. I’m in the hole (+batteries) $150. Not to mention marginal performance. At the same time I bought a high end Browning at the same cost of three discount cams. It takes great pictures, batteries last almost a year, 32mb card fills up before batteries are dead, and it still works. The way I see it it cost me $300. Buy once cry once. But I do have three decoy cams now?

I've had this experience when I've used off brand Amazon cams. Stealth Cam, Bushnell, and Moultrie cams have never let me down. Stealth Cam has always been the bang for the buck cam for me.

Pretty sure Muddy is a china POS. Never used them because you can get name brand for the same price or slightly more.  :twocents:

Is a 1 second trigger speed normal?  I have a number of cheap amazon cameras I've run the last few years, which have generally been pretty good, and noticed that a fair number of the pictures/videos are of the back end of the animal trotting past.  Not sure if those had trigger speeds slower or faster than a second, though...

 :yeah:
Bought two Tasco cams at Walmart like 5 years ago.  still going strong.  Not gonna frame any of those pics anyway, so they work just fine for my purposes... :dunno:  My other two cameras are re-furbs off Camofire.  Cost about the same.  I have to wire one shut now, the clips broke off.  Not the camera's fault though.  A bear ate it... :chuckle:
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I don't know much about trigger speeds but can sometime fix this problem by camera locations set up.  Have it look more down the trail rather than straight across the trail.
