Thanks guys...i have 3 cameras and hate all of them...appreciate the reviews as season is only a short time away. Great work fella's. God bless and willing ill see another one of your videos.
Hey guys I have been watching you for a while and between you’re positivity and awesome tips I can hang a stand in 5 minutes, hit a dime at 40 yards, and learn where to look for deer! Thank you guys so much absolutely love this channel and I owe it all to you!
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.
Best camera I have used Moultrie M 880, $150 at Walmart, have had it on a tree for 2 years, it has taken over 20,000 photos and I have changed the batteries twice. It will however pick up weeds, leaves or limbs moving and snap a pic, but over all I cant complain. Love the videos guys, keep up the good work.
Moultree is all I will buy now. I've had 1 behind myself for 3 years now still works great. It has literally been outside since I bought it years ago, and the batteries last forever. I now have 4 Moultree cams.
The Covert MP8 is the best bang for the buck. Covert's Blackhawk Verion wireless cam has improved the quality and come down in price. You pay $15 per month only for the months you want to use it. The Maverick series is really good with tons of features and excellent photo and video quality but it's quite a bit more money than the MP8.
Great review!! If anyone is looking for ridiculously cheap cameras that are honestly fairly decent cameras for the money. Check out the 8mp Tasco camera from Walmart. No joke they are $28.99. I am currently running about 10 of them and they're all functioning the way they should do far. Down fall is battery life wont last more than 4-6 months. And every once in a while they'll do some blurry photos depending on where they are placed. But honestly a good little camera for the money
Yeah my cousin and I run the same cameras. We have 15 of them and they have proven to be very reliable considering the price point. After all...how perfect do the pictures have to be? Let me know what is coming by and when...that's all I need.
I've been running one of the Tasco cameras since 2012. It was my first one and honestly has been my most reliable and easy to set up. It does video, single or 3 shot burst photos. Downside is there is no real way to lock them to the tree and a little slow on the trigger speed. I definitely got my money's worth out of it.
I've had good luck with Browning. You should check out Bone View SD card readers. They plug into your phone so you can view your cards while in the field. It's better than trying to see the pictures on the tiny screen on the cameras, while also draining batteries, or having to swap cards and check them later. Plus you can save the images to your phone with it.
For an ultimate test try setting out all of your favorites on the same tree for a month or so(on private land to deter theft of course) and see what ones are missing picture or are taking the best quality pictures!
I'm extremely happy you guys made a video about scouting/hunting standing corn. Watching your videos over the past year has taught me so much and has even given me my biggest buck. I'm still confused how you guys hunt wind, do you expect mature deer to be walking into the wind or what? I know it all depends but could you do a video or clarify what wind condition you look for heading into an area?
I see this post is a couple years old and I just saw it. Today I bought the cabelas low glow outfitter gen3 for $99.99 at Bass Pro. I actually paid a little less because of my club points. Got it home, set the date/time and settings, took it to my hunting area and set it up for 30 second videos. I'll let ya know how it compares to my other cams.
No love for Bushnell? I've been very pleased with my Bushnell Trophy Cam HD 20MP 119874C. I actually just bought my second one tonight. That will make three that I'll be running on my land. My wife and I have turned our property into a private park, and a sanctuary for animals. I have hunted in the past, but we don't allow hunting here, but rather encourage more and more animals to make the park their home. The only problems I've had with the Bushnell is a few false triggers. We do have things running by the camera though, such as rabbits and fox. So many of those could be the way I have the camera set up at its current location. Your video was very informative, and I would love to know your opinion about the newer Bushnell trail cameras. I plan to add more cameras in the future for a total of maybe six or so for the Park. Guests love to see pictures of the animals of the park, but it is self-funded by me and my wife, so its taken us some time to add the cameras we have. Its our own paradise though, as we've planted 90% of all of the trees within the park, and gave the land a lot of labor, and even more love.
You make a fantastic tour of the different models informing broadly about what is important. Thank you very much and very good work! Greetings from Spain!
I run the wild games on public land in n.j. just due to high theft possibilities mainly over bait but when not on bait I put them on video mode. Out of 12 cams I've had zero issues, I did have 3 or 4 older i.e. 4 or 5 year old wild games break but for the price typically under 40$ I get my money's worth. No cable or chain can stop a bolt cutters or sawzall and in the n.j. woods it seems guys carry them often while out lol

Wish this video was published 2 weeks earlier. Late July, I purchased a Cuddeback and put it out on my farm. I haven't even checked it yet, but it was CONFUSING to set up and I am not even sure I did it correctly. I'll know soon enough. Helpful video
I have used quite a few different trail cameras over the years and hands down the Browning Spec Ops are the best I have used. Hi-res pics, crisp clean HD video, super sensitive audio and 0.6 sec. trigger speed. It's all I use anymore. Sold my Wildgame, Moultie cams and others so I could buy more Browning trail cameras.
Yall should try the browning cameras, I have 3 of them and use them on public land mounted in lock boxes and I love them. Great video love the honest reviews!
I agree with the muddys. The new 14 is ok. I paid 55 bucks for the 14 but the 20 is a good cam. I also have had great luck with the cabelas brand cameras. Nothing beats lifetime warranty!
I got some StealthCams on sale and really like that brand. Gives a lot of options for around $75 when 50%. Many settings, great day time photos, good trigger speed, long battery life, and other pluses. I will say the night pics suck...but for the price it works. Tascos are great for public land...less than $30 and really are a solid camera. Downsides are reliability and the trigger distance/speed. Place it right and you won’t regret it for the price and ease of mind if it gets stolen.
I have the CovertWireless and it is the best camera I have. Stealth cam has been great too, and the the picture quality is the best out of all of mine.
I run covert as well and have some muddy pro cam 20s and a few covert cell cams . The covert mp8 is definitely my old reliable of cameras. Bushnell essential e2 was a good camera but when they came out with the new essential e3 I had a lot of problems with black and white pictures during daylight hours and battery life was not near as good. So far the muddys have been doing good and the covert as always a good camera. great video guys thanks
I've tried most of the brands mentioned in this video, and a couple of others brands too, and I have the same conclusion, Covert! The Covert MP8s are great. If you register the warranty and have an issue, they basically send you a new one. Battery life is excellent!!!!
Just had our workshop broken into. Thank you for your reviews on these cameras, you've certainly saved me a lot of time and effort finding a great camera to use!
I use the cuddeback cameras once you get use to the functions they are fairly easy to use I have 15 of these cameras. I have not had very many things set these off that gets missed. I bought five moultrie cameras they get set off from the slightest motion whether it is weeds or leaves just falling past the camera. I had one moultrie that had 8500 pictures on it only 500 were of animals.
I see Tater Ted had a Bushnell Trophy Cam in the box, I have ran those for years and have had great luck with them. The quality varies a bit year to year in the models, but the Trophy Cam HD Essential E2 12MP cam has been the best. I think its a 2016 model but you can find them new on eBay still for about 90-100 bucks.
Love honest reviews! I have no brand loyalty, right now I've got moultries, brownings, bushnells, stealth cam, primos, and spypoint. The spypoint is their "cheap" cellular it was $250 dollars last year and it has been amazing, the pics it sends are good enough for me to differentiate which buck I'm looking at most of the time. I also recently built 2 solar panel setups using a simple 12v regulator soldered inline on a coleman solar panel. I'm running one on a browning and the other on my cellular. I think if I built a little enclosure and put a 12v battery in there and used the solar panel on that I could have a camera that almost never died.
I have two stealth cams and a moultrie, my first camera. a stealth Cam Pxp26 got eaten by a red squirrel a month after I got it, and the case was compromised! it's almost been a year now and it remains dependable rain or shine only needing new duct tape and batteries every 6 months
I have a few Moultries that I run. Currently an M-40 and two M-40i cameras. The picture quality is great on both and the battery life and ease to lock it with a bigger python lock is great as well. I actually put lithium batteries in one of my M-40i cameras on November 9th this past season. I left the camera out until I just checked it in late July. Figuring the batteries would be dead. To my surprise there were almost 3300 pictures and the battery readout still said 98%. I was speechless. I do get a few false triggers every once in a while but not hardly anymore that I turned the sensitivity to medium
You didn't really talk about the Bushnell HD Cam. I would recommend them for the quality, easy to use and the low price. Found the 8mp for $75-100 and the 12 & 16 for $125. I've got a mix of 15 Bushnell HD in the 8mp, 12mp & 16mp models. Been very impressed with them. I've got 3 from 2012 that stay out 365 days a year with no problems. Only 1 Bushnell that's failed in since i started using them in 2011. Do recommend using Energizer Lithium batteries. I get them off of eBay for about 1/2 price of retail. I've gotten over 50k pics in a year on a set of lithium batteries. I've had 4 Moultrie, great quality pics, but they seem to dump after year or 2. WGI, good for a really CHEAP camera (bought 5mp & 8mp for 10.00-20.00 each). They last 3 months to 2 years. Works good on public land that has lots of bears. they will rip them off a tree and some times you can't find them again. Do a test with all the cameras set up on a single pole and compare the quality and reaction time of the cameras for us.
I have a moultrie, cuddyback, and several browning trail cameras and the Brownings are easily the best. They are about $100, have great picture quality, and awesome trigger speed. I have pictures of a buck running past the camera at 10 yards and it took two VERY clear pics of him, whereas most other cameras would have given me 3 pictures of nothing because their trigger speed are so much slower. They also pick up deer movement at a very long distance away, which allows you to capture those big bucks who like to hang out in the background and not come in close. I would recommend the Browning Cameras to anyone, anyday!
I always get the ones that allow you to lock the flap where your SD card and the settings buttons are. I can also lock them to the tree to keep the whole thing from just getting stolen
Browning Strike Force cameras are the way to go! Image quality both day and night are 10/10. Great sensor as well and a set of batteries will last you almost a full year.
I use the older models of the moulttie m888i I got them for like 60 bucks a camera on Amazon a while back. I never have to change batteries and they are very sensitive, they sometimes pick up on weeds or tree limbs but they have really Good quality aswell.
Tasco makes super cheap cameras that they sell at Wal-Mart for like 39 bucks. Photo quality is actually not bad and the batteries seem to last quite awhile. You should check them out!
I agree. I tried a tasco for $25 and if I was covering a lot of public like you guys they would be my go to camera. They are cheap, have a pretty good battery life, pictures aren't great but better than I thought they would be and you can tell what the deer is.
Good video. One camera you should give a try is a $150 range Browning, the video quality is awesome on them. Also, noticed you don't have any Lithium batteries in any of those cameras, they REALLLY increase battery life when it gets cold out.
I have someone trespassing on my property stealing farm equipment do you have a recommendation for a camera that doesn’t set off a flash at night but could still spot a license plate ideally I would like to tie in a tree a row of trees or two away from the road so that the camera is not easily spotted
I’ve used them all. From stealth cam to Moultry. Wild game innovations. Primos. And now even the cellular trail cameras. Cuddeback is the best because it’s complicated. So if you’re not an idiot you can figure out how to use it. Because it allows you to turn off the daylight function if you want to. So it’s only taking pictures at night. And it gives you a very wide range of timeouts video on off. But I am completely hooked on the cellular trail cameras. Because I can literally get a notification within a minute that something was taking a picture of. And if you put it in a place where you’re thinking a buck is going to be traveling. You can know before you go in what was on your trail camera and what came by. Sadly so many of those cameras have planned obsolescence with none replaceable internal batteries. And trail cameras can help you know what deer may be around. But you still have to do like you guys do and actually do scouting and see the sign.
Just bought a 2pak stealth cam qv20 at Cabellas Nanaimo.,west coast of Canada. Paid $129 before tax. Got moose draw coming up. Have older stealth cam that took great vids. Hardly wait to try these out
I run mostly Moultrie given that I can use any of them (after 2015) with the Moultrie modem setup ($150). Cheapest cell cam on the market at the time. Primos has a new "Truth" cell cam for $199 that looks very user friendly. Great vid guys! Ted = Fuzz
Very informative guys and it helps greatly. I am sure some of these camera makers see this and YOUR VIDS make them make better products. Nobody likes to not be a good camera maker, so thanks again. Cheer's........
I have around 20 Covert cams and thought they were the best. Mossy Oak Gamekeeper Shadow are made my Covert. Less than $50 bucks off Ebay. Like all Coverts they're easy to use and great battery life. All my Coverts do take blanks, some worse than others. Especially if they're facing West or East. Have used Buckeye, Cuddeback, Bushnell, Primos and others I can't remember. I started with Coverts way back because they use AA batteries that are easy to find if you're in the boonies. For the money and quality and ease of use I don't see how you can beat them. Check out the Gamekeeper Shadow.
The best thing for the Moultrie cameras is to set your setting for trigger speed on low especially in thick cover. If your open ground go with medium setting on speed setting then works great.
Three camera package was purchased by my wife for Christmas. I wish to return the cameras because it is not the brand I wanted. After emailing about the return, I was told to send the package back to CHINAand I would receive a refund. Right? Company policy on the website stated to send them to California and Visionner would pay to return the product. I hope we did not get scammed on purchasing the Visionner Trail Cam products?
Humble ridge I also have a 888i but The nice thing about Moultry is the separate modem unfortunately where I live Our mountains don’t get very good service to send me my pictures camera works great though does pick up a lot of extra movement from leaves and branches moving
I think the best trail camera the Chinese ever made was the Moultrie M80. I have several. One of them is almost 9 years old. I've never had a problem with it. Covert would be my second choice. I have a Covert Black 60 that's almost 8 years old.
Great review, thanks! I run the Covert MP8 mostly but also own a couple browning strike force cams that are easy to operate but do not have a viewing screen to look at pictures on the camera, Another advantage to the browing over the covert is they only use 6 batteries versus 8 in the covert. I also own 3 reconyx cameras but I will admit I did not buy them, I won them so cost is a prohibiting factor for them but they run flawlessly and have great night time phots and battery life is excellent.
4:30 - 4:40 mark is the reason why I will not use the infrared/white flash. I will only use black flash. In my opinion, a spotted camera by a mature buck is different than a spotted camera by a small buck or doe. I have never had a shooter come back to an area when he spotted a camera like that, especially in big woods (national forest locations). Personally I like to take a spruce or bushy evergreen and cear out a few branches and tuck the camera deep into it. Evergreens won't lose their needles and usually don't move in wind like deciduous trees which cause more wind trips. I also stick em in dead hollow trees. A camera on a bare open telephone tree can be spotted way to easy. You have to be careful with them things. I think more hunters have pushed more bucks on adjacent properties due to their camera addiction. I only check mine twice a hunting season. 4 weeks after it's set to make sure it's working and looking for wind trips and then pull them all right before gun season just due to the influx of guys walking around..
Add A Browning Sub micro to your camera list... Great cameras... As for naming the young lad, "Deet"... Ted spelled back words, with a added E... Just like the Deet bug spray. If chosen, send me a THP hat. \m/
I have mostly Cuddeback's. They're ok. I like them because you can set it to take a picture and a video. I also got a good deal on craigslist for them. Plus the video's aren't too large. I have one Browning that I love. It takes excellent pictures and videos. Battery life is great on them. Only drawback is you need a large card because of the picture quality and you can't email a pic to your buddies because they are too big.
I continue to use the cheapest game cams because the technology changes so fast. They last a season or two at least. They keep getting better with a consistent low price. Even the pricier cams I've used go bad by their second year. For cellular cams I have had great luck with Spartan GoCams. You stated a $19/mo. rate but I get the data SIM cards for $75/year on AT&T. It is lower for some carriers. I don't use their portal and web site. I just have the photos texted to my phone or email. It is also great security. If someone tries to steal the camera you more than likely have their photo in the process sent to you first. For future reference, consider getting only cellular cams on the 4G network since the 3G network will shut down within a couple of years, maybe sooner on Verizon. You can also get these to run on a gel-cell battery set up with a solar panel and charge controller, the electronics stored in an ammo box on the ground or hung in a tree. It basically will then run indefinitely with no battery changes to mess with.
Great Informative video, I recently changed to the covert MP8s after years of using moultrie, unfortunately moultrie has let their quality go down the crapper and your lucky to get half a season out of them, I suggest staying far away from moultrie. Covert MP8 have great battery life, decent photos, are reliable and have unbelievable customer service. Just my 2 cents
i decided to check camera reviews again but still might end up buying what i already have, which is Primos 12MP Proof Cam 02 HD Trail Camera with Low Glow LEDs and love it right now it is 70 on amazon i bought a cuddyback black light and great day picture but night time stink bad, like you are luck you can make it out as a deer bad, ended up buying 4 primos and might go in and buy another, i will check out the covert thanks guys
You guys should REALLY look into Radix Trail Cameras. They are an Iowa based company. One of the camera models (PS-2) is only 3"x3.5" and super easy to hide. And the image quality is unreal...DSLR quality photos.
Browning dark ops extreme, browning dark ops elite hd, browning spec ops extreme browning spec ops advantage. The 2 dark ops cams named above I've let set 5 from late September till may with a very rough January and March and it was alive. 1 of them I hung dec 1 over a buck bed and pulled it mid July and it took pics of me when I got to it. Battery life with lithiums is superb and it flat hammers out the pics. I have 18 of em between the dark ops and spec ops I've named. They are the bees knees
great job guys.. i have 6 cameras and hate 3 of them.. i agree that the wildgame innovations are junk... i am switching to Primos cameras now.. great , easy to use and great quality pics and videos.. my newest is the Primos Proof 2... 14 mp and video has audio.. very easy to use, great battery life too...
I see all the negative comments about Wildgame Innovations cams.......I run them, a pair of Terra 6's......and have never had a single issue out of them. I have never seen it false trigger......and it has taken photo quality pics.......and pair of which my Dad had printed out for me to display in my home.
Thanks so much for the reviews. I clicked the link to possibly buy the Covert MP 8 camera but it says it is currently out of stock and probably not continuing. Wanted to use the link you provided to help support you guys.
I love my Brownings as well. I picked up a Browning Command Ops and it does not have the same quality video as the Strikeforce for some reason but pictures seem good.
Great brief, but informative, overview. I'm just trying out the Muddy. Moultrie to me lasts forever, I have dinosaurs that are still going. Had one that stopped taking night pics, but other than that reliable. Not had much luck with cuddieback. Mine and my buddies all died after just 2 years. Bushnell has been my go to. Great pics, battery life, detection, etc. Had one that died after 3 years, but their customer service offered me a deal on a new model replacement. I will definitely look into Covert, but why did you not elaborate on the bushnell in the box? Just curious. They tend to get a bad wrap in reviews I've seen. But I like.
get some tasco 8mp cams from walmart $28 for public land pic quality is as good as those..the premos bullet proof 2 14mp is a good very small unit as well usualy get them on sale for $25 at walmart
Thanks guys...i have 3 cameras and hate all of them...appreciate the reviews as season is only a short time away. Great work fella's. God bless and willing ill see another one of your videos.
It's so useful to get reviews from people like you who actually have real life experience using the products. Thanks.

Just used mine for a few months battery was still at 80% lol
Moultree is all I will buy now. I've had 1 behind myself for 3 years now still works great. It has literally been outside since I bought it years ago, and the batteries last forever. I now have 4 Moultree cams.
I've always had the best luck with bushnell cams. For the price, they take great pictures day or night, and the batteries last all year.
Teds nickname should be “the man “ ... Teds awesome, love that little dude !

I have 2 of those Tasco cams still in the package. Im looking forward to give them a shot. For $30 bucks it worth giving them a whirl!
I've been running one of the Tasco cameras since 2012. It was my first one and honestly has been my most reliable and easy to set up. It does video, single or 3 shot burst photos. Downside is there is no real way to lock them to the tree and a little slow on the trigger speed. I definitely got my money's worth out of it.
Im looking for something to use at home in the shed getting equipment stolen so hoping to catch people doing it, you think it will work?
I've had good luck with Browning. You should check out Bone View SD card readers. They plug into your phone so you can view your cards while in the field. It's better than trying to see the pictures on the tiny screen on the cameras, while also draining batteries, or having to swap cards and check them later. Plus you can save the images to your phone with it.
I use Stealth Cams, they take pretty good pictures and the price is not to bad. I like them for what I use them for... come on deer season 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌
For an ultimate test try setting out all of your favorites on the same tree for a month or so(on private land to deter theft of course) and see what ones are missing picture or are taking the best quality pictures!
I just watched this trail camera video. (Good video). Coming up to current time, what regular and what cell camera are you using now? Thanks.
I'm extremely happy you guys made a video about scouting/hunting standing corn. Watching your videos over the past year has taught me so much and has even given me my biggest buck. I'm still confused how you guys hunt wind, do you expect mature deer to be walking into the wind or what? I know it all depends but could you do a video or clarify what wind condition you look for heading into an area?
I see this post is a couple years old and I just saw it. Today I bought the cabelas low glow outfitter gen3 for $99.99 at Bass Pro. I actually paid a little less because of my club points. Got it home, set the date/time and settings, took it to my hunting area and set it up for 30 second videos. I'll let ya know how it compares to my other cams.
The cellular Covert camera is very very similar to the Spromise cameras. Is it the same brand or something?
Whiskers, until his mustache grows out lol have a great season and be safe guys!
Curtis Davis Nice!

Master Lock Python: What diameter cable do you recommend? 3/16th or 5/16th?
They have several different size diameter available
I run the wild games on public land in n.j. just due to high theft possibilities mainly over bait but when not on bait I put them on video mode. Out of 12 cams I've had zero issues, I did have 3 or 4 older i.e. 4 or 5 year old wild games break but for the price typically under 40$ I get my money's worth. No cable or chain can stop a bolt cutters or sawzall and in the n.j. woods it seems guys carry them often while out lol

I have the CovertWireless and it is the best camera I have. Stealth cam has been great too, and the the picture quality is the best out of all of mine.
I run covert as well and have some muddy pro cam 20s and a few covert cell cams . The covert mp8 is definitely my old reliable of cameras. Bushnell essential e2 was a good camera but when they came out with the new essential e3 I had a lot of problems with black and white pictures during daylight hours and battery life was not near as good. So far the muddys have been doing good and the covert as always a good camera. great video guys thanks
I've tried most of the brands mentioned in this video, and a couple of others brands too, and I have the same conclusion, Covert! The Covert MP8s are great. If you register the warranty and have an issue, they basically send you a new one. Battery life is excellent!!!!
Thanks guys nice job! Wish you had reviewed the Bushnell Trophy can. Mine works good, has long battery life & takes great pictures.
Man I feel like Ive used every trailcam out there. Your picks are pretty well dead on. I would add that my Exodus cam is by far my favorite.
Just had our workshop broken into. Thank you for your reviews on these cameras, you've certainly saved me a lot of time and effort finding a great camera to use!
I use the cuddeback cameras once you get use to the functions they are fairly easy to use I have 15 of these cameras. I have not had very many things set these off that gets missed. I bought five moultrie cameras they get set off from the slightest motion whether it is weeds or leaves just falling past the camera. I had one moultrie that had 8500 pictures on it only 500 were of animals.
I see Tater Ted had a Bushnell Trophy Cam in the box, I have ran those for years and have had great luck with them. The quality varies a bit year to year in the models, but the Trophy Cam HD Essential E2 12MP cam has been the best. I think its a 2016 model but you can find them new on eBay still for about 90-100 bucks.
Travis Bowers I do like the Bushnell cameras but I have more Moultries so I usually use them more. Bushnell definitely works great though!
I run the e 2 's also great pic quality
Love honest reviews! I have no brand loyalty, right now I've got moultries, brownings, bushnells, stealth cam, primos, and spypoint. The spypoint is their "cheap" cellular it was $250 dollars last year and it has been amazing, the pics it sends are good enough for me to differentiate which buck I'm looking at most of the time. I also recently built 2 solar panel setups using a simple 12v regulator soldered inline on a coleman solar panel. I'm running one on a browning and the other on my cellular. I think if I built a little enclosure and put a 12v battery in there and used the solar panel on that I could have a camera that almost never died.
I have two stealth cams and a moultrie, my first camera. a stealth Cam Pxp26 got eaten by a red squirrel a month after I got it, and the case was compromised! it's almost been a year now and it remains dependable rain or shine only needing new duct tape and batteries every 6 months
I have a few Moultries that I run. Currently an M-40 and two M-40i cameras. The picture quality is great on both and the battery life and ease to lock it with a bigger python lock is great as well. I actually put lithium batteries in one of my M-40i cameras on November 9th this past season. I left the camera out until I just checked it in late July. Figuring the batteries would be dead. To my surprise there were almost 3300 pictures and the battery readout still said 98%. I was speechless. I do get a few false triggers every once in a while but not hardly anymore that I turned the sensitivity to medium
Have you guys ever tried browning or stealthcam? Browning has been our favorite overall
“Browning strike force” $100
my fourth year using them, not one problem out of the 6 I run. Video and pic quality is great !
You didn't really talk about the Bushnell HD Cam. I would recommend them for the quality, easy to use and the low price. Found the 8mp for $75-100 and the 12 & 16 for $125. I've got a mix of 15 Bushnell HD in the 8mp, 12mp & 16mp models. Been very impressed with them. I've got 3 from 2012 that stay out 365 days a year with no problems. Only 1 Bushnell that's failed in since i started using them in 2011. Do recommend using Energizer Lithium batteries. I get them off of eBay for about 1/2 price of retail. I've gotten over 50k pics in a year on a set of lithium batteries. I've had 4 Moultrie, great quality pics, but they seem to dump after year or 2. WGI, good for a really CHEAP camera (bought 5mp & 8mp for 10.00-20.00 each). They last 3 months to 2 years. Works good on public land that has lots of bears. they will rip them off a tree and some times you can't find them again.
Do a test with all the cameras set up on a single pole and compare the quality and reaction time of the cameras for us.
I have a moultrie, cuddyback, and several browning trail cameras and the Brownings are easily the best. They are about $100, have great picture quality, and awesome trigger speed. I have pictures of a buck running past the camera at 10 yards and it took two VERY clear pics of him, whereas most other cameras would have given me 3 pictures of nothing because their trigger speed are so much slower. They also pick up deer movement at a very long distance away, which allows you to capture those big bucks who like to hang out in the background and not come in close. I would recommend the Browning Cameras to anyone, anyday!
I always get the ones that allow you to lock the flap where your SD card and the settings buttons are. I can also lock them to the tree to keep the whole thing from just getting stolen
Browning Strike Force cameras are the way to go! Image quality both day and night are 10/10. Great sensor as well and a set of batteries will last you almost a full year.
I use the older models of the moulttie m888i I got them for like 60 bucks a camera on Amazon a while back. I never have to change batteries and they are very sensitive, they sometimes pick up on weeds or tree limbs but they have really Good quality aswell.
Tasco makes super cheap cameras that they sell at Wal-Mart for like 39 bucks. Photo quality is actually not bad and the batteries seem to last quite awhile. You should check them out!
Sounds sweet! We will!
I agree. I tried a tasco for $25 and if I was covering a lot of public like you guys they would be my go to camera. They are cheap, have a pretty good battery life, pictures aren't great but better than I thought they would be and you can tell what the deer is.
Wildgame comment was HILARIOUS! I call them boat anchors.
Yea and they don't back their product. Trash.
I use some 999i and some w40i moultries. Great battery life, good clear pictures.
I use stealth but I'm very excited about Exodus done a ton of studying up on these an all i've found was great reviews on them can't wait to try them.
Cool vid guys. I've had the best luck with Brownings overall. Seem to last 4-5 years and still do what they say they will.
New Moultrie M50I is the New M40I and they are both right around $100. We Run over 50 of them and they work great
I like the Moultrie M-series trail cameras. They are user-friendly, affordable, and take good pics.
I'm interested in camera with lockbox can use for security but see conflicting ones on Amazon. You know any?
Good video. One camera you should give a try is a $150 range Browning, the video quality is awesome on them. Also, noticed you don't have any Lithium batteries in any of those cameras, they REALLLY increase battery life when it gets cold out.
Moultree has a crazy trigger just make sure there aren’t any small sticks or pieces of grass
Moultrie Detla Base are awesome
I have someone trespassing on my property stealing farm equipment do you have a recommendation for a camera that doesn’t set off a flash at night but could still spot a license plate ideally I would like to tie in a tree a row of trees or two away from the road so that the camera is not easily spotted
I’ve used them all. From stealth cam to Moultry. Wild game innovations. Primos. And now even the cellular trail cameras. Cuddeback is the best because it’s complicated. So if you’re not an idiot you can figure out how to use it. Because it allows you to turn off the daylight function if you want to. So it’s only taking pictures at night. And it gives you a very wide range of timeouts video on off. But I am completely hooked on the cellular trail cameras. Because I can literally get a notification within a minute that something was taking a picture of. And if you put it in a place where you’re thinking a buck is going to be traveling. You can know before you go in what was on your trail camera and what came by.
Sadly so many of those cameras have planned obsolescence with none replaceable internal batteries.
And trail cameras can help you know what deer may be around. But you still have to do like you guys do and actually do scouting and see the sign.
Just bought a 2pak stealth cam qv20 at Cabellas Nanaimo.,west coast of Canada. Paid $129 before tax. Got moose draw coming up. Have older stealth cam that took great vids. Hardly wait to try these out
I run mostly Moultrie given that I can use any of them (after 2015) with the Moultrie modem setup ($150). Cheapest cell cam on the market at the time. Primos has a new "Truth" cell cam for $199 that looks very user friendly. Great vid guys!
Ted = Fuzz
Very informative guys and it helps greatly. I am sure some of these camera makers see this and YOUR VIDS make them make better products.
Nobody likes to not be a good camera maker, so thanks again. Cheer's........
I have around 20 Covert cams and thought they were the best. Mossy Oak Gamekeeper Shadow are made my Covert. Less than $50 bucks off Ebay. Like all Coverts they're easy to use and great battery life. All my Coverts do take blanks, some worse than others. Especially if they're facing West or East. Have used Buckeye, Cuddeback, Bushnell, Primos and others I can't remember. I started with Coverts way back because they use AA batteries that are easy to find if you're in the boonies. For the money and quality and ease of use I don't see how you can beat them. Check out the Gamekeeper Shadow.
The best thing for the Moultrie cameras is to set your setting for trigger speed on low especially in thick cover. If your open ground go with medium setting on speed setting then works great.
Three camera package was purchased by my wife for Christmas. I wish to return the cameras because it is not the brand I wanted. After emailing about the return, I was told to send the package back to CHINAand I would receive a refund. Right?
Company policy on the website stated to send them to California and Visionner would pay to return the product.
I hope we did not get scammed on purchasing the Visionner Trail Cam products?
Humble ridge I also have a 888i but The nice thing about Moultry is the separate modem unfortunately where I live Our mountains don’t get very good service to send me my pictures camera works great though does pick up a lot of extra movement from leaves and branches moving
I think the best trail camera the Chinese ever made was the Moultrie M80. I have several. One of them is almost 9 years old. I've never had a problem with it. Covert would be my second choice. I have a Covert Black 60 that's almost 8 years old.
That moultrie 999 is the best camera I’ve ever owned, I swear by them
Great review, thanks! I run the Covert MP8 mostly but also own a couple browning strike force cams that are easy to operate but do not have a viewing screen to look at pictures on the camera, Another advantage to the browing over the covert is they only use 6 batteries versus 8 in the covert. I also own 3 reconyx cameras but I will admit I did not buy them, I won them so cost is a prohibiting factor for them but they run flawlessly and have great night time phots and battery life is excellent.
4:30 - 4:40 mark is the reason why I will not use the infrared/white flash. I will only use black flash. In my opinion, a spotted camera by a mature buck is different than a spotted camera by a small buck or doe. I have never had a shooter come back to an area when he spotted a camera like that, especially in big woods (national forest locations). Personally I like to take a spruce or bushy evergreen and cear out a few branches and tuck the camera deep into it. Evergreens won't lose their needles and usually don't move in wind like deciduous trees which cause more wind trips. I also stick em in dead hollow trees. A camera on a bare open telephone tree can be spotted way to easy.
You have to be careful with them things. I think more hunters have pushed more bucks on adjacent properties due to their camera addiction. I only check mine twice a hunting season. 4 weeks after it's set to make sure it's working and looking for wind trips and then pull them all right before gun season just due to the influx of guys walking around..
Add A Browning Sub micro to your camera list... Great cameras... As for naming the young lad, "Deet"... Ted spelled back words, with a added E... Just like the Deet bug spray. If chosen, send me a THP hat. \m/
I have mostly Cuddeback's. They're ok. I like them because you can set it to take a picture and a video. I also got a good deal on craigslist for them. Plus the video's aren't too large. I have one Browning that I love. It takes excellent pictures and videos. Battery life is great on them. Only drawback is you need a large card because of the picture quality and you can't email a pic to your buddies because they are too big.
Try the tactacam reveals,affordable and works great,they are coming out with new model this coming year.The ones I bought were 99$
I continue to use the cheapest game cams because the technology changes so fast. They last a season or two at least. They keep getting better with a consistent low price. Even the pricier cams I've used go bad by their second year. For cellular cams I have had great luck with Spartan GoCams. You stated a $19/mo. rate but I get the data SIM cards for $75/year on AT&T. It is lower for some carriers. I don't use their portal and web site. I just have the photos texted to my phone or email. It is also great security. If someone tries to steal the camera you more than likely have their photo in the process sent to you first. For future reference, consider getting only cellular cams on the 4G network since the 3G network will shut down within a couple of years, maybe sooner on Verizon. You can also get these to run on a gel-cell battery set up with a solar panel and charge controller, the electronics stored in an ammo box on the ground or hung in a tree. It basically will then run indefinitely with no battery changes to mess with.
Guys...because of Nefarious Activities lately we would like to Record: Vehicles, Drivers and especially License Plates. Recommendation please.
Great Informative video, I recently changed to the covert MP8s after years of using moultrie, unfortunately moultrie has let their quality go down the crapper and your lucky to get half a season out of them, I suggest staying far away from moultrie. Covert MP8 have great battery life, decent photos, are reliable and have unbelievable customer service. Just my 2 cents
What climbing sticks are u using most
Tederpillar, nothing like a solid caterpillar mustache.
Joshua Vickers haha I have been told that it looks like a caterpiller a lot! 😂
Browning trail cams are the best “bang for the buck” The only cams I’ve owned that I can trust.
Browning camera are great try them love your videos guys
I bought a wild game innovation on clearance just to check a game camera out, going to try and use it as a security camera. Thanks for the info. 👍
Covert Blackout way to go
i decided to check camera reviews again but still might end up buying what i already have, which is Primos 12MP Proof Cam 02 HD Trail Camera with Low Glow LEDs and love it right now it is 70 on amazon i bought a cuddyback black light and great day picture but night time stink bad, like you are luck you can make it out as a deer bad, ended up buying 4 primos and might go in and buy another, i will check out the covert thanks guys
You guys should REALLY look into Radix Trail Cameras. They are an Iowa based company. One of the camera models (PS-2) is only 3"x3.5" and super easy to hide. And the image quality is unreal...DSLR quality photos.
Browning dark ops extreme, browning dark ops elite hd, browning spec ops extreme browning spec ops advantage.
The 2 dark ops cams named above I've let set 5 from late September till may with a very rough January and March and it was alive. 1 of them I hung dec 1 over a buck bed and pulled it mid July and it took pics of me when I got to it. Battery life with lithiums is superb and it flat hammers out the pics. I have 18 of em between the dark ops and spec ops I've named. They are the bees knees
Rick from memphis little tip on consealment for camras i use a semi round bark from trees in area and cover camra great camo out a here
great job guys.. i have 6 cameras and hate 3 of them.. i agree that the wildgame innovations are junk... i am switching to Primos cameras now.. great , easy to use and great quality pics and videos.. my newest is the Primos Proof 2... 14 mp and video has audio.. very easy to use, great battery life too...
I see all the negative comments about Wildgame Innovations cams.......I run them, a pair of Terra 6's......and have never had a single issue out of them.
I have never seen it false trigger......and it has taken photo quality pics.......and pair of which my Dad had printed out for me to display in my home.
You guys coming to Michigan any time this season?
Browning Dark Ops are really good
Thanks so much for the reviews. I clicked the link to possibly buy the Covert MP 8 camera but it says it is currently out of stock and probably not continuing. Wanted to use the link you provided to help support you guys.
Wow!!! I just started the video and was like who is that guy??? It’s Ted!!! Not recognizable without the stache!!! Lol
Browning camera's are nice quality for the $
moyer outdoors I second that
i 3rd it its all i run
Browning blows my Covert out of the water.
Had alot of trouble with browings
I love my Brownings as well. I picked up a Browning Command Ops and it does not have the same quality video as the Strikeforce for some reason but pictures seem good.
You should do update on trail cams
Covert it is thanks!!
You guys should try Browning. I've had good luck with them.
Great brief, but informative, overview. I'm just trying out the Muddy. Moultrie to me lasts forever, I have dinosaurs that are still going. Had one that stopped taking night pics, but other than that reliable. Not had much luck with cuddieback. Mine and my buddies all died after just 2 years. Bushnell has been my go to. Great pics, battery life, detection, etc. Had one that died after 3 years, but their customer service offered me a deal on a new model replacement. I will definitely look into Covert, but why did you not elaborate on the bushnell in the box? Just curious. They tend to get a bad wrap in reviews I've seen. But I like.
Good video guys I run Snyper cell cameras great night and day pictures
I have great success with stealth cam cameras. I'm surprised you don't use them.
What about the 25$ trail camera at Walmart I have that and it's pretty good y'all should review it
stealth cam g30 are my favorite hands down own 13
get some tasco 8mp cams from walmart $28 for public land pic quality is as good as those..the premos bullet proof 2 14mp is a good very small unit as well usualy get them on sale for $25 at walmart
