    There are various cams out there witht he Stealthcam name, not created equal for sure.
    One two-pack comes on sale for $160 , another 3-pack comes on sale for $120, another looks like just a name change to 'Muddy' brand
    Thanks! I wouldn’t leave a trail cam out for more then a couple weeks without a box. This cam had videos of half a dozen bears chewing on it as well as cows and moose rubbing on it. No damage on the camera just some liquid nail eaten off!

    Does the APEMAN use the micro SD cards? That's the one PITA I have with my Amazon specials. It takes the micro card and with my fat fingers, I find it hard to get it out a lot of the time and have dropped it more than once. Mine also changes the time and date randomly.

    Cheers

    They are a good value cam when on sale for $45 per camera. The video that I posted above is from that cam.

    Thanks for that, gonna give these a try. Did you get the 7months from one set of Lithium batteries or a couple battery swaps in between when checking the cam?

    I just use basic AA’s. Not overly cold in the Okanagan

    Yes. Actually had about 10
    months out of one set of batteries on another cam that I left out and forgot about it. That camera didn’t see a pile of action however

    when they work, they are decent, good clear pics and video

    but I don't trust them....I purchased the old tasco 5mp two pack many years ago, my very first trail cams and they have been reliable, compete with my more expensive cams

    so i purchased the new 12 mp version expecting the same performance, but they just don't work as reliably, I put them on the same tree as others to test them, and they get 1/4 of the pics and go a few months with zero pics....and then all of a sudden start working perfectly for a few weeks, and then back to not working

    Yes, sadly, most have switched to the micro now.
    I, too, find it annoying because i often drop it fumbling around with it and then it can be a pain to find in the grass.

    Much prefer the bigger cards. So much easier to handle.

    It must depend on the model because I have an Apeman and it uses a regular SD card.

    X2 on that Amazon trail cam $79...easy to use (even I have no problem) has a screen you can see your pics or vids, batteries last a long time, have got lots of game on it. After the first year I got a second one have had it for 3 years now no issues.
    I had two expensive cams before the cheep ones but could never figure out how to use em.
