I'll sell it to you for 50 bucks. :chuckle:

It was 80 degrees when I had mine out.. One I bought didn't even work right out of the box.. LOT of better cameras out there in that price range.

Post by: Elkslayer on January 03, 2012, 09:00:16 AM: I purchased the Stealth cam package that Costco was selling right before Christmas. Put it out and it quit working after 2 days. Took it back and ordered a Moultrie and a Wildgame X6C. That was my first and last experience with them.

I also have a stealthcam IR that has been nothing but great for the last 2 years. Not sure of the model.

The stealthcam Delta 88 is the one that I'm saying is crap.

Thats similar to what happened to mine. I think its a camera issue not your batteries. I put fresh batteries in mine and had it out for 2days, checked it and it said the batteries were dead. I put brand new batteries in and it said they were dead to. Just to make sure I put 3 different sets of brand new batteries in and it said all of them were dead. Stuck the same batteries in my bushnell and it said 100%.
