Title: Should I get this trail camera?
Post by: HunterofWA on July 28, 2016, 06:12:58 PM: I'm looking into getting another trail camera soon and I was wondering what your guys' thoughts are on this stealth cam. Has anyone used these before? Are they water resistant/durible/good quality?

Post by: lamrith on July 29, 2016, 11:10:07 AM: Bought a pair of stealth p14's. Not impressed, 5sec response time, if it even sees movement. I would only recommend for use over a bait pile or in a place animal stay in and mill around a while. Decent unit to setup, nice options for images, burst, vid, easy dial selector. But sensitivity/react time is terrible.

Cheap primos easy cam works better. No video, and pita to set time/date, but functionally better if you want to capture anything moving down a trail.. Found some for $25 on ebay, wish I had grabbed more.

:yeah: I have 4 of the 6's and 8's. If I got more I would go with the 10mp tho. I like having them on video mode and there is a significant difference between the 10 and 8. 10 will do 1080 video, 8 and 6 is 720.

I think I might get that... it's $40 bucks cheaper than amazon.

Title: Re: Should I get this trail camera?
Post by: stickflngr on July 30, 2016, 07:25:17 AM: Dont remember what model the stealth cams were but they were the ones Costco was selling. The Moultries I'm running are the older D-55IR xt and they have worked flawlessly since I got the a few years ago.

Post by: huntingfool7 on July 30, 2016, 08:36:38 AM: Go with the Bushnell Aggressor and you'll be a Bushnell guy. It's a good cam, fast wake up/shutter speed, takes good pictures/video/hybrid. Easy to set up and easy on batteries. Run lithiums in whatever you get.

I've ran two of the Browning recon force cams. One of my favorite ones. Bushnell trophy cams next after that.

Get them. Look at the reviews and you'll see the Brownings destroying the Bushnells.
Title: Re: Should I get this trail camera?
Post by: HunterofWA on July 31, 2016, 08:12:26 PM: Hmmmm... I like the looks of the browning, but it's a little expensive. Does the stealth cam (the one in the very first post) look good enough for a couple years? I planning on getting two, just interested in them more cause of the price...

Post by: jimkirk on July 31, 2016, 08:58:45 PM: i 2nd the bushnell trophy cam. i've had one running for 5 years. it still works today. i've used primos, stealthcam, tasco, moultrie. primos and stealth are simplest to set up. had one primos fail. the tasco from walmart keeps on ticking too. i don't typically spend more than 75$ on cameras since they are on public land. had never lost one until last year on timber co land.

Post by: HunterofWA on August 01, 2016, 08:45:31 AM: Ok, well I think I'll go with the stealth cam then if there aren't any "issues" with it. Thanks for the help everyone!
