Trail Cam Features

[azhuntnut]

I was told about a device last week that will allow you to download your pictures from you SD cards or whatever the camera uses, and has the capability to watch any videos you might have on the disc also. I currently own ten SD cards and think this new device would be a great asset. I just sent back one of my Moultrie's for service and they are sending me back an upgraded model that has the screen on it. I plan on picking up that new Moultrie I40. Walmart has them online for $188.00, thats cheap. David

I just take my laptop along and look at the pics in the field to decide whether the cam stays or not. I guess the viewer would be helpful if I were not doing that. I am going to check out the phone to see if it works.

Lots of good things covered here already. I've only owned cheap moultries. They are pretty cheap, but they'e served me well. My best one is starting to fall apart, however. The plastic tabs that the bungies attach to have broken off and one of the plastic padlock hasps has broken. I wonder if Moultrie will warranty that???

 

I've used a Canon digital camera to check my cards out in the field just to verify camera position and such. Worked fine with SD cards. I personally don't feel the on camera viewer is worth the extra money, but it is handy sometimes to be able to view pictures out in the field.

 

Things I'd look for in a camera would be good flash, solar charger attachment, quick trigger time, dependable way to secure to a tree, and price. Out of all of those, price probably has the greatest impact for ME. Everytime I put one out I wonder if I'll ever see it again. I'd rather only attach one Ben Franklin to a tree vs 2 or 3...

 

I want to do an eye bolt modification to my moulties to make them harder to steal off of a tree, but haven't done it yet. Heck, if someone really wants it they'll just cut down the darn tree...

Here is a link to a pretty cool insurance policy on ebay

I am going to build some for my cams but the price for it is pretty fair

Those do seem pretty nice, although almost $50 after shipping is tacked on there. That's more than I paid for one of my cameras...

I just built this "Bear Proof" and Human Proof contraption for my $99 Moultree Cam. It took me about 45 minutes to build and weighs about 6 lbs.... Gunna lag into the tree from the inside of box, I think that should keep it from being knocked around or being stollen. Hope it works..... I'm trying to get it back out to my spot this weekend.... don't know if I'll make it.

I've got a couple of home brew cameras and both of them let me see the pictures right in the field. In fact I can even zoom into the deer's head to see a closer view of its antlers.

 

I just checked one of my cameras yesterday. It was in a new area that I've never scouted before. I had it set over a game trail and didn't really know what to expect. When I got there I was a little disapointed to see there were only 9 pictures and I figured that I would probably take it back with me. After looking at the pictures in the field I changed my mind and left the camera there. There weren't any pic's of monsters, but there was enough that I'd like to give it another round.

 

To me being able to see the pictures in the field is a huge benefit!
