Can't remember exactly mate as I got them as part of a job lot over a year ago,good quality pics and footage though.Some Walmart's sometimes sell trail-cams basic ones in sales for 25 dollars,I have seen reconditioned ones with good specifications for cheap.

They seem to be pretty bomb proof I no someone that has had 8 years trouble free use out of one, I,ve just been out to check 5 cameras over a 1000 videos to run through, nothing out the ordinary apart from a new polecat group have had two hobs and a Jill, sweet Edited February 15, 2019 by Greyman 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At £42 probably cheaper than the price of a repair Cheers for that Greyman.. I ordered one and it came on Wednesday. Question, if you don't mind. Do you alter any of the setting on the camera.. when setting up from scratch or just leave it on the factory default settings?? I see there's quite a few options. Can't say I'm interested in video. So that'll save on memory and power. Any other tips would be appreciated. Not got a clue where I'm going to put it yet.. i didn't think about that bit! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers If you just want stills set it on a burst of three and when you set it up try to look along the path you want to cover not across it as fast moving stuff will have past by the time it triggers, if your after animals put a rock or log in front of your camera and everything that passes stops for a sniff and a pee put the camera 3/4 ft up slightly facing down, should get you going, tweet it as you view pictures and beware facing east as the rising sun blinds them 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
