Greyman 25,258 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 For anyone interested these are one of the best budget cameras I have used, really good distance, wide angle and good picture quality, full size SD cards as well, price has just been droppped a bit more on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/DIGITNOW-Waterproof-Wildlife-Surveillance-Detection-camo/dp/B07DF6CRWN/ref=sr_1_66?ie=UTF8&qid=1549623105&sr=8-66&keywords=trail+cameras. At £42 probably cheaper than the price of a repair 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thats what i need....i thought i was being a tech wizard by using google maps on the iphone and putting the little blue dot where id left my camera......only when i went back to get the camera a week later i realised that having used the maps half a dozen times since the blue dot had long since disappeared. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 19,387 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 They use a IR light for the night vision so they are quite easy to find with something like a Sony handcam in night shot mode Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PLEDGEY 493 Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Always bought these. Had 2 of them but I ran over one in the pick up so that's FUBAR. The other has been going with no problems for about 6 years.Not the cheapest but they seem to be problem free..https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Little-Acorn-Ltl-5210A-940NM-Hunting-Camera-Scouting-Trail-IR-Camera-Forest-Find/312223387305?hash=item48b1f6cea9:g:PAwAAOSwHTlb0nfz:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true Quote Link to post Share on other sites
