Trail cam

(1/5) > >>

Pat B:
I have a Stealth Cam STC P-12 and it only works sometimes. I've changed batteries, changed SD card and reformatted SD card. Sometimes I get lots of pics, sometimes nothing. Any suggestions?  Also can someone recommend a relatively inexpensive trail cam that seems to have less problems and is simple to use.
 I've had a few brands. All seem to work well at first but sooner or later something screws up.

Eric Krewson:
I had a Stealth that started out OK but got where it wouldn't trigger most of the time. I bought a Browning for about $100 that has been working flawlessly so far this year. I don't keep it out all the time so I may not have run it through its paces yet. It triggers on stuff up to 40 yards away.

TrevorM:
Sounds like a problem with the motion sensor to me, maybe try cleaning it off with an alcohol wipe.

Pat B:
Trevor, it is too inconsistent to be the sensor.IMO. From reading what others on line have said the SD cards are a real problem but some of these folks have replaced and reformatted the cards with no relief.

I bought a new stealth cam this fall and I'm not very happy with it.  It doesn't take many pictures and they aren't as clear as they should be.  I had a Moultrie running year round for 4+ years and it worked great until the strap rotted away and it laid on the wet ground for several weeks.  The battery compartment was soaked.  I am going to get a Browning and give that a try.  I have done a lot of research on them and they have great reviews. 

I'd say go with Moultrie or Browning.  They will be similar price and quality.  Go with the fastest trigger speed and highest mega pixel in your price range Pat.  Look up some reviews online and see what kind of ratings they get.
