    In the woods...
    Update: Disregard. I did a bit of research, and this particular website appears to be a scam.

    So, let's turn this into "where can I get some decent, cheap game cams".


    I am looking to add some additional game cameras to the perimeter of the property. Several times I've been able to buy four packs of tractor supply for about $100. They usually last one to two years, and serve my purpose. I ran across this website which shows six cameras for a price it seems too good to be true.

    Six Browning compact cameras with SD cards for $59.18. Scam?

    Midway has a 3 pack for $99, without SD cards, but it's larger cameras.

    I've got a lot of logging activity on some of the properties around me, and I'm just making sure that I don't have people trespassing you're poaching off my place. So small, inconspicuous, and cheap are my preferences.

    If it is a large track of land, and you don't mind spending the bucks, look at the cellular cameras. Saves you some legwork as well as on SD cards. ( I carried blank SD card to swap out on my cameras to save two trips) I am going cellular this next time around... They are pricy though...

    There are also Wifi cameras...

    I like the SD card setup and I'm not ready to go the cellular route, but thanks!

    I need ay least three to replace ones that have quit working. I could use 6 of them. They usually last 1-2 years, but I have one ancient Tasco that is going on about seven years now. It only takes black and white photos, but it's fine and I wish I could find more like it.

    Man I'd be lying on the model #, I just know they have the screen on the inside so you can view your photos. I got mine before Chinaflu so I'm sure the price has went up some.

    Does anyone have any thoughts on 940nm no glow vs. 850nm low glow cameras?

    I bought three Apeman H55 cams about a year ago at clearance prices on Amazon (~$30 ea). I thought they were pretty good. They are 20MP, internal view screen, use 8 AA (I use 4 LiFePO4 and 4 dummies, last pretty good).

    They are 940nm, but I wonder if 850nm cams might have longer view range and brighter images?

    Don’t focus on megapixels. Focus on sensor detection and distance. 80 plus feet is where I would start and go off reviews. Even if the camera cost more.
