Much appreciated guys. I would’ve preferred a deeper dive in comparing some of the models.
Great feedback! Thank you!
great vid. ..... thank you...
Thanks for watching!
Just bought Coleman chd-700m and I have always wanted one but not willing to pay high price specially if use it for summer camping . Since I’ve heard noises before outside the tent but not willing to give up my sleep to find out 😅. So here we are now. Looking for batteries 🔋 rechargeable and sd card . Circle 10 processor. Hope I can find all these today
Hey guys, I'm new to using trail cameras. Do you have any recommendations for extremely hot and sunny areas? Are there any brands that seem to perform better in the extreme heat? Of course I plan on utilizing the shade as much as possible but any other tips would really be appreciated. Great job, thank you.
We have never heard of any brands have troubles in the heat and they all do about the same with the sun. Placement is probably the most important aspect. It is best if they face north or south, so they are never directly facing the sun.

Thanks guys. Definitely looking forward to checking out more of your videos.
@@BlackOvis Actually in the summer heat out in West Texas, most brands of trail cameras give you many blank pictures (false triggers) due to the pir sensor not being able to discern between the hot background brush/grass temperature and elevated temperatures of the animals. So if the pir sensor senses background movemovement in the wind, you get consistent false triggers in the heat of the day. My experience is that the G series of Stealth Cams perform better than the many different Browning cameras I use.
Do you guys sale the card readers? The hand held viewer you show. If so please give me the link
Hi. Are you able to view the camera footage from the app when within the bluetooth or wifi range of the trail camera when it is switched to the ON position? Mine can't detect the camera wifi when I hit the wifi button when ON.
Hey! Which camera do you have?

Hey guys! I would like to know if it is possible to reset a trail camera every evening .my situation is that I would like them to monitor only in the evenings when there is no conventional movement .

More MP is the biggest joke in trail cameras. Pay extra for features like no glow & extended detection range. Most important discussion about cameras would be the flash options, trigger speed, & camera range.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
I'm looking to buy my first trail cam and would like something user friendly, any suggestions?
Take a look at these! Great bang for your buck!

I noticed there are 2 sim cards stacked on each other behind the battery tray. One has spypoint logo and the other is AT&T. Is there a way to cut spypoint out as a middleman and just insert a sim card from a cell phone and just call into it with the number associated to the sim card we use?
Not that we know of! But it would be worth looking into more!
I was think of getting a couple of these to catch people dumping trash on video on my property. Any advice ? Could be left let side for a long time I do not want lights on it
Yes they can all be left for awhile. They won't have lights or a flash, but they do have infrared lights which can be sometimes seen on cheaper cameras. Here's a few options that have no glow bulbs:

Do trail cameras record?
If I were to use a trail camera to see a fox how would u personally set it up
Can I use a usb pen to get the camera footage onto my laptop/pc
I’ve got a usb pen, the camera, aa batteries, sd card, is that all I really need to set this up.
Does the camera only use the batteries when it catches something?
How long can u leave a trail camera and what is your recommended time u leave a trail camera
Those are my questions great video
Yes Trail cameras record video or images.
The cameras record onto an SD card so you can just plug that into your laptop
It always used batteries when on but uses let when there is nothing setting the sensor off.
You can leave the camera as long as you would like to, batteries should last a few months.
If you want for info on how to set them up watch this video or give us a call: ua-cam.com/video/nn_oxhajGvw/v-deo.html
Another good tip would be cover your scent in your trail cameras. Use anything from nature. Or use scent cover spray on your trail cameras. Animals have great nose and they can smell your trail cameras and your greasy fingers lol
Does a lithium battery last in cold? My experience with photo cameras is that NiMH last way better.
From our experience lithium batteries perform best in the cold. Let us know if you have any further questions.
the first sd card reader you showed i am interested in can you please provide a link for that ?
That one was discontinued, but he's a link to the new one: www.blackovis.com/brands/stealth-cam/stealth-cam-memory-card-reader
Do the cameras only go off / record if they pick up movement?
Yes that is correct.
Hello does this camera or any other trail camera have continuous video recording? I'm looking for a camera that records and stays on all the time.
We don't know of any.
I forgot my password for my camera, so can't reset settings, nor do I remember what I had them set at. It's been awhile since I've used it. It now seems to be corrupting SD cards. It's a Gamekeeper 1080p camera. I've been trying to catch a racoon on the camera that I evicted from under the house, but I think the corrupted files made me miss that viewing. Bummer.
I also have a Walmart Stealth Cam that isn't corrupting my SD cards, but isn't nearly the quality of the Gamekeeper.
How do you link a camera to your phone?! I cannot find anything explaining this
It has to be a cellular camera. Give us a call and we can walk you through it. 801-559-7556
Can you do an update with the phone app now? How do I delete photos
I got one of these every time a put it on test mode every is a ok but every time I turn on, on the on mode the screen turns black nothing happens
I'm sorry to hear that. If you want to give us a call we can see what we can do to help. 801-559-7556
Do straps come with the trail cam?
Yes they do!
It can still be pick in about 5sce
mainly a sales video
We do sell cameras and accessories. Hopefully there's a few helpful tips on what to buy to get started.
Got-chaa
how do you set up the motion sensor ?
The motions sensors come pre setup.
@@BlackOvis Oh. I just sent it back to amazon.
Maybe I should buy one from a sporting goods store or a hunting shop.
Didn't say anything about the different kinds of flash
Thank you for the feedback! If you have any questions that we can help answer please give us a call!
I want
Jump on the site and pick one up!
