They are cursed. Far from reliable but do take decent shots when they cooperate. I will post a video

In cooler weather the battery life is HORRIBLE.....Things have been better with summer however still lots of issues like randomly just not working. Also been dealing with constant settings resets and needing to take all the batteries out in order for it to turn off. My buddy also has one and while it did work well the lens is now quite distorted, it has issues deciding if it is day or night lol.


Dates are out of whack in each video I posted, not sure if my unit is just hooped or if these issues are "normal"...Let me know if you have any questions.

Pick up a couple Simmons from Costco. Way better camera for the $$$ There is a post on here about the Simmons. I have 3 of them and so far, not one problem. They last for months on 4 batteries and take great picts. Only complaint is there is some motion blur at night.

If you want a good camera for video, Cabelas has the Bushnell for $100 off then through in the $30 rebate and you get a $250-$300 camera for $170. Blackflash and HD video.

if you want the the best, spend the $$$ and buy Reconyx......

Personally, I would stay away from any Stealth except the new G models, Wildgame and Wildview.

Checkout this site for fair reviews and links to good sales

X2 on the simmons-nothing but good things to say about the 4mp whitetail cameras. 4AA batteries and they last forever.

One more bad review, bought one on sale at c.t. last year used it for the season and then said I got it for Christmas and returned it. Pretty much what has been said. Horrible battery life when cold and randomly doesn't work. Don't waste your money when there is so many better ones for the same price. Online it's easy to find trail cams on sale, one of those products I would never pay full retail for.
