Title: Best trail camera?
Post by: DXH on February 11, 2019, 11:25:40 AM
Needing some upgrades to equipment no longer working, and haven't looked at models or brands in a long time.
Heard there's some with satellite links

I use Wildgame Innovations and haven't had a problem.

If money is no question I would likely guide you towards Reconx or uway cameras both have  great camera models and are easy to operate.

I really have had good luck with Bushnell, they are mid priced, easy to operate and give good results.  I know others have not had such luck.

I have several HD models, very good trigger speeds, mods and quality of images.

I've had my Browning BTC's running for 4 years now and I've been really pleased with them.  They seem to be better on battery life then some others I've used.  I set them out in late August and just pulled cards yesterday and still had 40% batteries in them.  Decent picture quality for my purposes.  I'd buy them again.

We run around 20 cameras, we have our best luck with the browning cameras.

X2 for Reconyx.  Have a bunch of em and some are close to 20 years old never had to send one back yet.  Cant say that about any others I have owned.  Wont buy anything else from now on.  Go to trailcampro.com they are good to work with....

$25 walmart models.  Tell me all I need to know, and if broken or stolen I'm not out anything.

Browning camera's for me too. Easy to set up, and can't beat the battery life.

I've run Cuddeback, Wildgame Innovations, Reconyx, SteathCam, and Browning.

Reconyx are great, though that's expected at the higher price point.

For the money, Browning is hard to beat. I bought a dozen more cameras this fall, and all were Brownings....

Reconyx has been my best and most reliable single camera. Moultrie has also served me well.

Deployed a cuddelink system this fall and it worked very well. Loved the ease of one card pull and checked 7 cameras without going into the area.

A dozen different Moultrie's of various vintages.  All work well enough as long as placed properly with respect to the sun and anything close that would create significant movement in a wind.
