Game camera capture

TractorGuy · Jul 3, 2017

Been messing around with a Wild Game Innovations camera in my back yard. This is the $59.99 lights out version from Academy Sports. Took the card out of it today and had a couple of videos of three does that came through the yard. The trigger is sort of slow so if something is just walking by close to it you just barely get them in the first few frames then they are gone. These are just a couple of screen captures from the videos. The third deer in in the shadows right behind the one looking back. That infrared picks out the back of the spare wheel on my car trailer pretty good off in the distance. That is what the white glow is.

You got about what I did out of WGI cameras;Two pictures total.There are a lot better choices out there for not much more money.

I found the image quality to be pretty bad but the videos look better. I set it to record video and just hit my print screen button to capture a picture from it.

The tree I had this on had a branch that was blowing down in front of the camera when the wind blew so I had a bunch of videos of the blowing branch.

I limbed it up today.

What brand and model do you think is a lot better for not much more?

Does it have a time/date stamp?
That's pretty important.
59$ is cheap but you need the time and date

This camera is 20' from my house. I have 2 Browning cameras and 2 Primos cameras. Recommend both brands.

I have two Bushnel's and two Brownings.Always have mine on 20sec.video.Both are easy on batteries.
The Brownings are "black flash",not visible at night but a little inferior to the Bushel's night (infa-red).Like the Brownings "day" pictures a little better.
