Greyman 29,620 Posted March 17, 2024 Report Share Posted March 17, 2024 Just had two knicked from the woods at work, just buy the cheap Chinese ones, digitnow are brilliant for the money I also avoid the ones that take micro sd cards because in real life they are very easy to drop and loose when changing cards, if you have no choice or end up with micro cards always lay a white carrier bag on the floor underneath the camera when swapping the cards, don’t set them up facing east as sunrise will blind them when animals are most active, trim any branch’s that will flap about triggering the camera and if you can always place a rock or log in the line of site to stop the animals passing by or a bit of roadkill 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cragman 2,791 Posted March 17, 2024 Report Share Posted March 17, 2024 I have one. It has a screen in the back for viewing any footage. A lad I know has one that pings a text when it’s tripped. He’s turned up many times after getting a text to shoot a fox 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking at the Spypoint and Zeiss cameras that send pics directly to my phone to save frequent checks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand Probably a bit of a gamble when you buy one. Theres endless choice on E Bay the last one i bought was £70 built in battery i just had to buy a sd card. The pic is a still from a vid so not to bad really. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
