Just bought one one sale. I will let you know. Everything I have seen said it is the BEST mid-level cam on the market and their customer service appears to be good.

call them, there is a firmware update.

 

[chrisDXT]

Really well that's good do you have to send them the camera or is it like a update that you can do on your computer?

 

[camocreek]

so far so good with mine! I got one for xmas....seems to be alright especially for the money and battery life!

 

[BootMud]

I have two of them. I like them alot. You will get some blur with the night pics though. I set to take 2 or 3 pics each time and usually end up with at least one clear pic that way.

As I understand it you can do it with your computer and a rep on the phone.

Wife got me one for Christmas as well, has the mini-cam feature. I have only had it out for about a week but so far love it. In-fa red photos can be a little blurred but as stated above set it to take several consecutive. Says it can take up to 3600 pictures a day for video plot mode. Clam's a one year battery life on this years models using 8 AA battery's, we'll see.

The one year claims are a stretch ... this would only work if you have it on a seldom used trail. I have two of these and like them. The batteries need to be changed when they get down to about 35% . After that they may stop working or will only trigger when animals are very close like 5 yards. Other than that they are great cameras, fast trigger, a lot of options . I like the video with sound. I got some great videos over scrapes.
FYI, I see on the trail cam site they have 3 new improved models out very soon, including a "black flash"model ( no visible flash when you look into the camera )

Food plot mode is cool but eats batteries quick. Video with sound is a cool feature. THey say they do well on rechargeable batteries. THat would save some money in the long run.

I'm selling a Security Box and Python lock in the classifieds if anyone is interested. Would be cool if you wanted to put it on public land and make it harder to steal.

My one year battery life lasted about 3 months on a feeder. I'm happy though, AA's are cheap.

 

[bigworm]

try those energizer ultimate lithium AA. i use them in reconyx cameras. i have one cam that has taken over 25,000 pics this year. just changed the card today and batteries were at 87%. it is well worth the money to buy those lithium.

 

[Hill Farm Hunter]

I did have the cheap Sam's battery's in mine.

 

[brieman]

I've had one out since the begining of bow season, haven't had a problem with mine. Probly changed the batteries 3 times but i have mine set on video to. Best camera I ever bought.

 

[hillbillycycles]

My wife got me one for Christmas as well and I just put it out this weekend so we will see. I have an old Remington game camera that runs of 4 D cell batteries. That thing eats batteries and takes a good photo every now and then. In short, it would not take much of an improvement in battery life or picture quality to impress me at this point.

I think thats what the company recommends for the cameras anyway.

I bought one at the beginning of september and love it. Bought 8 of these lithium batteries and had the camera out all season. Took about 2000 pictures and still at 98% battery life. A little blur with a few of the night pictures if the deer are moving but for the money they are a great cam!

 

[brbowhunter]

Best cams for the money now om the market. Got 3. Very happy. Lithium batteries will last all year.
