Title: wildview cameras?
Post by: duckman nale on January 01, 2012, 06:21:00 PM
i was interested in getting a third camera and i was wondering if anyone has used the cheap 60 dollar flash cameras i was wondering if anyone has had any problems with them

If you're talking about the 2M pixel cam, I have one.  The only thing I don't like about it is the slow triggering.  Other than that, it's a tool to see what's around.  A good placement is the key.

I posted this link in another thread here in the Trail Camera section, but in case you didn't see it, here it is:

For $39.95 I think it's a great camera. The only real issue, as mentioned in the previous post, is the slow trigger speed. This camera would best be used with some sort of bait in front of it, rather than just on a trail with animals walking by.

if i were to pick a cam in that price it would be a wildgame innovations one..these cams eat C batterys... they last about 14-21 days when warm and about 3 days when cold

sometimes..I have had issues with no pics..but the battery cost alone is worth buying a cam that runs on A batterys that cost $100

I picked up a wal Mart wildview.  It's a 2.0 mp ir.  Wasn't the camera I wanted but I had a 30 dollar wal mart card so it really only cost me 30 out if pocket. I set it up along with spycam both with fresh batteries last weekend so we will see how they compare.

i have one also and there not bad if you want to eat the battery cost..i replace the batteries every 2 weeks..so its spendy...sunrise likes to trigger it alot every morning...and trigger speed is slow..just put some apples or somthing in front to get them to stop

Just pulled mine out after 2 weeks.  1400 pics and the crappy rayovac batteriers are still kicking.  I did notice it clunk when it took my picture as I walked up.  Im pretty happy with the pictures.  As long as they are reasonably still the pictures are good.  There was some whiteout pics when the lighting was right and a little blurry when moving.  All and all for 60 bucks so far so good.

I have 5 wildviews. 4 flash and 1 Ir. The flash ones are very hungry for.batteries all the time.. probly could have bought 2 new cams this.year just in battery cost. The ir one is better. Think I will probably only use.these cams early season and get another aa cam for late.
