Title: tasco 5 mp cams on sale at Bi-Mart
Post by: jrebel on July 18, 2012, 09:19:11 PM: I believe my budy said they were $70. Never used one, but sounds like a good deal.

I would rather pay extra $20. I like the double A batteries.

Yeah they both have their pluses and minuses. I like the color night pictures I get from the white flash. And very little motion blur like you get with IR cameras. My Tascos last 6 to 8 weeks with the 4 D batteries, so that's about $5 for 2 months of use. I'd be willing to try the Tasco IR cam but not for $70, maybe $50 if it ever goes on sale for that.

They get even worse as the temps drop..the sensors have a hard time switching to IR when it gets late

Post by: DBHAWTHORNE on July 19, 2012, 10:37:02 AM: I have a handful of these. The oldest ones are three years and still going. The most common issue I have is the IR filter sticking and causing the daylight photos to have a red tint. I have only had a few quit on me or become very unreliable. All in all I haven't had any worse luck with them than most any other camera. I have owned Moultrie, Primos, Wildgame Innovations, Cuddeback, Tasco, Reconyx, Digitaleye, Wildview, and Bushnell.... Out of all of those I can't really pick one that worked far superior to any other (considering cost). I currently seem to be purchasing more of the Wildgame Innovations and Moultrie's than any other cam.
