I have ran these for 2 years or so and love them. Cheap and easy to operate, pic quality is good enough. And if there stolen im not out too much money

I watched a bear one year sit 5 ft in front of my cam to take 1 pic in 30 min!! I have watched deer from the stand walk in front of them eat in front of them to only check the cam and have 1 or 2 pics! When it gets cold it gets worse!

The flash doesn't have much range, and either does the sensor, so you need to place them close to the trail, or the bait, if you're using any. There is no multi shot burst option, and the delay is not adjustable. It takes a picture about every 15 seconds. I had the best luck setting them up with bait, and no more than about 25 feet away.

I agree, i bought two of these and it seems as though I missed a few pictures of some bucks that showed up a few yards away on the bait pile. I was trying to use this cam to back track them.
