I guess maybe you are right,My cams are just junk.I dont mow the grass in the area down,I dont break the tree limbs off that might get in the way,I dont ask God not to let the wind blow where my cams are set up at. JUST JUNK.I think my cams must work pretty good if they pick up the movement around them like they are designed to.Most importantly I dont put my cams up where everyone can see them either.Wheres your cams set up Cabelas parking lot?GIVE ME A BREAK. :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: that might be the dumbest post Ive read on here this year
read up on how cams work dude! THEY ARE NOT INTENDED TO PICK UP MOVEMENT FROM WIND! if they are they are not working correctly.

Sounds like you are not setting up your cameras correctly. Should be only getting pictures of animals :twocents:
Post by: huntnnw on July 20, 2015, 11:48:21 PM
The detection circuit of a trail camera is what will actually detect the animal. Cameras trigger based off of a combination of heat and motion. Detection circuits consist of:
Trigger Time
Recovery Time
Detection Zone
Got warm blooded grass and limbs I take? :rolleyes:

Detection CircuitsThey will trigger DAYTIME on movement alone.

Overall I would say this...I have never been disappointed with the performance of an expensive ($150+) camera but have been widely disappointed in the cheap ones.

is it legal to tell us which cameras take pics of trees and limbs. am still looking for a camera. am leaning toward a bushnell 12 mp trophy. is it correct that I want the biggest, baddest card(the 28 g) for the cam? mike w
I would say get 2 lower end mp trailcams with smaller memory cards. Two is better than one top of the line in my mind since allows me to scout more areas. Depends though on cost of the 12mp. Also depends on quality of pics you want though, but 5 and 8mp work awesome for me. I run bushnells and I do like them mainly for their battery life. I am having issues with some now but have had them for 5 years.
I need one of these trailcams that take pics of trees and leaves so I don't have to look at animals on every picture like mine are now.

low MP (and price) on a well functioning camera is a win. Emphasis on the well functioning part of the equation.
Post by: jackelope on July 21, 2015, 10:27:09 AM
anyone else?
I will vouch for huntnnw and say you're wrong, Steve. I have cameras in uncut CRP fields. If anyone was going to get 4000 pics of grass blowing in the wind, it'd be me, and it's not happening.
I will add that I would never spend the money to buy 32gb sd cards either unless you've got a solar charger battery pack hooked up to your camera and you plan to leave it out for a whole year.
8gb in all of the cameras I have.

I have a 6mp Bushnell that takes lots of pics of nothing - but it takes OK pictures of game too:

The nicer Bushnell Trophy cameras are spot on with no dry-fires and all the newer Moultrie cameras have given me the same result.

when the card fills up does the cam let you know or do you have to check on it from time to time. that is sorta a silly qn. mike w
Most will have it showing on the menu 48/8700 or something like that. When the card is full it will be showing 8700/8700 meaning all space for pictures of that size SD card have been allocated to memory.

as for tree limb pics... Maybe you shouldn't put your camera where it is blocked by limbs or grass. The rest of us can get cams set fine. I'm guessing even a normal 2nd grader would be able to set their cam so that it doesn't get false triggers constantly.
Maybe there is some truth to the saying "you can't fix stupid".
Now we have resorted to calling names in pm's. :bash:

The member causing the unnecessary drama is also being dealt with accordingly, my apologies that he trashed up this topic. Hopefully that gets this topic back on track. There are some good tips here from people who have been using cams for quite a while, I hope it is helpful info for other members.

Then i take it home and see an ear in a corner, or a blur of a deer that ran through in seconds, or some dark figure in the back reaches of the IR flash range. The Brownings have been good to me, long story short, and i'm with huntnw, i don't pay more than 100 for cams. Paid $60 each for my Range Ops on Black Friday last year, and i have to Stealth cams now that i paid $60 each for refurbished. You can get good deals if you keep your eyes open for them.

I check my Browning cams and almost always have pictures where i look at them with my little viewer and i'm like, dangit why is it taking pics of nothing, i need to get rid of this cam.My Browning does the same thing. It takes pics before the animal comes into frame and after it leaves the frame. I'd say the problem is that the detection range is wider than the picture frame. I find it a little annoying.

It is annoying, but at the same time, i do 2 week soaks and have about 700 pics of deer, so if that happens a dozen times in 700 pics i can tolerate it lol.
