Advice on outdoor game cameras? Specific requirements...
We have a remote cabin in eastern WA state, and want to enhance our security when we are not there. There is one narrow road to access property, so there is a small area where camera can mount.
Looking for a "game" camera with the following properties, and not having any luck on Google... 1. Weather proof - will be outdoors. 2. Must be battery powered, no power supply where it will mount 3. Motion activated 4. Must record to SD card, no wifi available Anybody know if such an animal is available? Suggestions appreciated. |

Per gwandsh:
Suggestions appreciated. Decide whether you want visible or invisible IR for the flash. Sounds counter-intuitive, but when some IR's go off to illuminate a night shot, they give a very visible flash of red - an invitation to theft, IMHO. -- Pete Cresswell |

Mine works ok to about 20 feet. They seem to have quarks. I don't understand their trigger philosophy. Paid about $50 plus card. Greg |

Some reviews he http://preview.tinyurl.com/kapsxob I ended up buying the Moultrie 880-i. The main reason I picked that one is I found a kit on Ebay that included a security box. The critters don't seem to notice it taking their pictures. It sometimes takes pictures of vehicles driving by on the county road about 100 yards away. |
