Managed to find a few and saw around a dozen squirrels today. Lambs in the fields was a beautiful sight , roll on Spring. Love it when the lambs first go out, just sitting watching over them waiting for that cheeky fox to poke it’s head through a hedge for a look 1 Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Here you go, a quick update, it is cheap and cheerful, picture quality is poor, but still much better than the images you see in the Big Cat Sighting thread. Delay from activation to first picture seems an eternity, with several animals almost out of frame before first picture. Situation and circumstances will change a lot so this may improve. No long term review available yet as only had it a few days, and it's not been out in anything but the lightest drizzle so far. I'll keep an eye on it and continue tests, but not rushing to buy any more at the moment. 1 Quote Link to post

patterdale 674 Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 I've just ordered a similar one plus a 32gb micro SD card. Wildlife Hunting Trail Camera Scouting Cam Infrared Night Vision Trap HD 1080P WWW.EBAY.CO.UK PIR Angle:60 degree. USB Slot: 5pins USB 2.0. Image Sensor: 3MP Color CMOS. Work Mode: Photo, Video, Photo+video. IR LED:38pcs 940nm black Lights... Quote Link to post

Here you go... its at the bottom on the unit (What looks like a little black line on the picture) and is the push in type.....push for in and it locks, push again and it springs out. Its still a bit fiddly for big fingers! Also a picture from this morning, that's the first of a string of 5, you can just see the tail leaving the frame, the other 4 had nothing, and neither did the video which takes after the pictures. I can drop the pictures down less than a string of 5 but doesn't seem a lot of point so far as wildlife seems to be virtually gone even before the first image is taken. It's meant to be a 0.8 second delay from activation but I'm thinking its longer in reality. 1 Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Looks like better to read numbers than mine. And the card is easier to get at than mine. I had to drop mine to shots every second. Cheers. Quote Link to post
patterdale 674 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 I done abit of research while I'm waiting for my trail cam to arrive,was surprised to learn that rechargeable batteries don't work to well in them? Not enough voltage to maintain long periods especially in cold weather. Recommended batteries are ennigiser LITHIUM. So I've ordered a pack of them to see? Quote Link to post

Mine has Duracell's in at the moment but it does say you can also run it from a 5vDC supply, (4 x AA batteries should be 6V). I will be giving the rechargeable batteries a try, they tend to be in the order if 1.2v each so a hint under the 5v it can be run with, worth a try, who knows what will happen! 2 Quote Link to post

Stavross 16,217 Posted February 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 We’ve stopped shooting but we don’t stop feeding, still a good few about, so to all the people that think we just want to shoot them and once the season is over we stop everything there’s a few deer knocking about now, the roe are the first to show, just as the light was fading there was 3 doe’s along the ride at Gordon’s pen, it’s nice been up there on my own again, it’s gone from been Saturday madness and running around like a nutter 3 days a week back to been peaceful and all mine again 7 Quote Link to post
