What game camera do you have?

I have a moultrie 4 wildgame innovations and 4 primos. the primos are by far the easiest to set up ,the w i,ones are the most difficult. they all take good pictures and video and are all at least 4 yrs old. i also had a stealth cam but the door latches broke fairly quick. none of my cameras were over 80 dollars.

I have 5 Cuddebacks, 4 Brownings, 1 Bushnell, and 1 Moultrie that went out last week after 5-6 years. I keep all my cameras in lock boxes lag bolted to trees with python cable locks. I like Cuddebacks best because of faster trigger speed, Bass Pro had them on sale for 75 bucks and I bought 2 more. Caught a lot of trespassers over the years coming onto my farm hunting and fishing. I do not reside at my farm, but word has gotten around I have a lot of cameras, if I think they see the camera it won't be in that spot if they return. I leave them out all year and if you're lucky you get 4-5 years out of any of them. The cameras that go bad I put them in plain sight with just a strap on a tree, they don't know that they don't work, never had one taken.

I've got 2 Browning and 4 Primos cameras. The Primos have been very reliable, extremely simple to configure and take good pics. Paid $99 for them.

Between my brother and I, we have 24 cams, many varieties, wide price range. Just my theory but I think some Mfrs put timers in them to die after a certain usage. I now have about 8 in a box with problems, many to do with time and date and also some with damage by ants, (seems like ants find the innards very attractive.). Current favs are the Wild Game ones with 12 MP or better, they come on sale for under $100, (currently $75 at Can Tire) and are very easy on the AA batts. We have glued dummy radio antennae on broken cams and left clearly visible near farm entrance areas, never lost one, but fewer trespassers since starting using them.

Stealth Cam model STC-*‐G42NG does OK but that is all I need

Several years ago I bought a Moultrie $100+. Not long after the infrared filter would hang up. Checked online and a known problem. Banging on the side would unstick it.Then the color started to fade and now everything is black and white. I have a cheapo Stealth Cam I got for free from a safety program at work. It now takes better pictures than the older camera but can be seen at night.

If there is a perp up to no good you won't have any pictures of them. They will have a new camera though, lol.

Have thought about getting one but have geard so many reports of them getting stolen.

Putting up cameras on public land is not very smart in my opinion. That’s where people feel they are free to take and in many cases it is legal. But if it’s your private land, and you think you have people trespassing, get a dummy camera and put it in plain sight. Get a decent $100 camera and put it on that dummy camera out of reach and catch the bastiges. Fun fun fun.

That's a good idea
I have cameras around my house and can see all of them at night if one looks. See all those IR LED's
