Re: Advise on Game Cams

From another forum I'm a member of.

"My experience-

None of the Wildgame Innovations cameras I bought still work. I sent 3 back while they were still under warranty and the company replaced them. None of those now work. I have 7 dead Wildgame Innovations cameras.

I have 3 Bushnell Trophy cameras and none of them have quit working. The oldest is 9 years old. I think these are great- all can also do field scanning at whatever interval I want.

I have 4 Stealthcams too. None of these have failed. The oldest is 4 years old, newest 2 months.

I have a Spypoint also. Its 8 years old still works for the most part- date keeps going back to 1/1/2011... Takes great pics and sends images to remote receiver.

I had about 5 Wildview cameras years ago and none of those work now.

I have worked with Moultrie cameras that a friend owns. I don't like them. Hard to program and never sure I got the right.

That's all I know."

Campark is supposed to be pretty good. Haven't even seen one personally tho. Check the video reviews on game cams on Youtube.

Also, sometimes the problem isn't the camera, but rather the SD card. And make sure you haven't accidentally moved that tiny little slider on the edge of the card to "Read Only/Lock" position. DAMHIK. :roll:

You know, I'm not sure, seems I might have gotten the wrong one. :roll:
I thought it was a Stealthcam, but this may be a knock off. :oops:
I will see.

I was looking at 2, or 3 and oh well.

Here's the specs on my old WGI cam, as a comparison to whatever is new on the market.

We still have one of the two identical ones we bought just over two years ago. They are 'Spy Point' which is a Canadian company. had trouble with one which was still under the two year warranty. We took it back to Tractor Supply where we bought it and got our money back. ( about $100.00 ).
they both worked great, for a while, but now the second one is acting strangely. Gonna contact Spy Point and see if they will offer any restitution.
BTW, they were the 'Force 10 ' model. Now they offer the ' Force 11 '. Basically, the same camera, but I think with more megapixels.

I took a look at the Spypoint 11D on Amazon. 27% of the reviews 1&2 star. :(
47% of Spypoint 10 reviews 1&2 star.
