Not a wildview. Terrible.

I have some moultrie cameras. Surprisingly cheap and take good pics. I'm not spending big $$ on cameras.

What problem are they having? I have 6 now and have never had a problem. I can definitely tell the difference in them over 2 Moultrie I40's that I have. The deer are always looking at the I40's and they never notice the Cuddeback NoFlashes that I have.


having some internal problems with the IR units. Most flash are good to go but the crave right now is the IR cameras and that is what they are having alot of return and repairs on. Not real sure the exact problem. I think just about any camera on the market is better than teh I40's IMHO

I sent 6 in for repair, they replace all 6 with the new capture that uses sd cards. After two months I had to send 3 of the 6 new cameras back. Two would not flash and one leaked water. Used cuddeback for years but they seem to be falling off in quality.

+1 for the Reconyx !!

I have Leaf Rivers, even some that I built myself with the P-41 cameras in them and the Reconyx cameras are top notch, battery life is amazing..I can go 6-7 months on 6 Duracells. I have had my Reconyx for 3 years and not a single problem.

Check out some of the photos from the Reconyx cameras

for the price of that camera, I can buy 3 Bushnell Trophy Cams or scoutguards and they are rated as the 3 rd best camera on the market. I'd have to pass on that.

Well now, I have had dlc covert cameras for two yrs now and am having an issue with customer service. Always heard good things before. I will let you know how it turns out. Don't like the way things are looking so far. Customer service is important and I have talked very good about the cameras in the past. ( see earlier post) Now it is time for the rubber to meet the road. I will keep yall posted.

that sucks, my scoutguard has lines in it on night pics. I'm hoping it was due to dead batteries but I will know this evening. I did notice bushnell now gives a 2 year warranty with their products. I found some of the 8mp 2010 models on ebay for around $135 bucks. The scoutguard and dlc runs around $170.
