Did u know this about trail cams?
« on: July 19, 2018, 06:45:24 PM »
So I was talking to this computer genius type today and he tells me a way that people can find your trail cameras easily even at night. Before I post how they do it, do you guys think it's a good idea to post the how they do it or could it do more harm then good?

Night vision is one way, but they can just turn on their phone camera and it will pick up the purple light. He showed me with a remote.so they just walk around and find good spots with their camera on and find your camera.

That's pretty interesting!

Just make sure your cam is not pointed towards the road.

I had learned this about remote controls but never tested on a trail camera.
Handy tip if you ever send a buddy to find your camera, if he can get close enough this would help him out.


I love being able to test the batteries in the TV remote using my cell phone camera.  Heaven knows when I have burrowed into the couch I do not want to walk across the house for batteries unless I know they are dead :chuckle:

Woah... the TV remote thing just blew my mind. I had no idea this worked!

Knowing this would have come in handy a few times in the past couple years for me.  :chuckle:

I just look through the phone camera at the remote where the signal/light is displayed.  Push buttons and you will see it light up.  I use it to see if batteries are dead and also to see if a single button is dead.
