What's a good IR Camera?
« on: February 27, 2014, 02:31:15 PM »
The area I hunt has population that likes to remove cameras. :bash:
What is a good IR camera so I can still get night pictures with out losing the unit.
Thanks.

They are all pretty much IR now days.  Bushnell trophy cams are my favorite.  However the IR ones get stolen too without a bear box.

I run all Bushnell trophy cams in bear boxes. You can go and pick up a set of four locks with the same key for all at any hardware store. I paint the locks and key to match and have a key ring in my truck and on my back pack just in case I didn't bring my ruck or in a different truck. I run 12 camera's year round and haven't had one taken yet. (I'm sure it will happen some day) The bear boxes and locks keep and honest man from committing a crime of connivance. If he wanted to return with bolt cutters, then he isn't an honest man!

Moultrie m80 all day, Best night time and day pictures hands down! Clear night photos 60 feet plus. They make a lock box that takes a master lock cable lock that goes through the box and makes it un-stealable. Don't sell much new anymore but can be found on eBay.
This is the year im going to get drawn, i can feel it. NOT SELECTED, NOT SELECTED, NOT SELECTED, NOT SELECTED, NOT SELECTED, NOT SELECTED... damn :(

I also agree Moultrie M80, I've had others but the M80 works the best, lasts the longest. Since I have the camera on my own property, I can check it daily. I average about 150 pics a day, the batteries last a month even with temps below zero. I have had pics of Deer, Elk, Turkey, Coon, Porcupine, Skunk, Birds, mice, Grey diggers, but no coyote, have a lot around but they seem to avoid it. Best picture was spike Elk and spike Deer facing each other.  Can't go wrong with M80!!!!

Rem14, can you post a pic of a Grey Digger?  I'd like to see one.

I usually delete most of my pictures because I get so many. The next time I have on a pic I will post, Just starting to see them out and about, they hibernate. Look like a squirrel.

If you want one for nighttime work, get the "Blackout" models that don't show the visible glow from the IR LED's.  Without it, even the animals see the glow, because in many of my camera shots, the animal is looking at the camera on the second picture.  One thing I like about my new Wildgame, is that after a few minutes, the red "ready" LED doesn't come on.  It's not a blackout, so I bet the IR glow is still visible... :dunno:
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"
