Questions about Trail Cameras?

Taino John

I am considering buying a tail camera for Elk hunting, but I have never dealt with one.

The place I plan to hun this fall is about 2 hours from my house. In a heavily forested area, within the mountains. It's an area that is used for controlled hunting, but is open to use with my general elk tag.

Here are the questions:

How do you keep one from getting stolen?

What would be ideal locations in the forest to mount the camera?

How frequently should I go back to check it? Will once a week be enough?

What national sporting goods stores carry them? I've checked locally and no one here carries them.

What are some good brands that I can look at, while keeping the costs around $200 +/- $30.00.

Thank you!

Answer
If you have $200 I would go all out and buy a Cuddeback. They are the best at trigger-speed. If you don't feel like spending that much buy a Moultrie. I have their D-40 model and it works like a charm.

As far as security goes most camera's have a little ring where you can insert a padlock. I usually padlock mine shut and strap it to the tree with a chain. National sporting goods store such as Bass Pro, and Cabelas carry them for sure.
I usually leave mine out there for about a week, but that is just because I am kinda antsie. How long you leave it out for will depend on how big your sd card is. If you have a 4mp camera with a 2gb sd card, it will be able to take roughly 1800 pictures. How fast these pictures get used up depends on if you have bait out. Some times unwanted animals such as squirrels and birds will come and eat your bait triggering the camera. If you have no bait but still a fair amount of game you could leave it out for around 2.5 - 3 weeks + if you had to. I would not recommend leaving it out for that long though. You may want to buy 2 sd cards so that when one gets full you can just swap the two.
When you set up your camera you should be sure that the area that you are setting it up at has quite a bit of elk traveling frequently there. Look for trails, and fresh tracks, and then set your camera about 5-10' off the trail. Position your camera about 2.5 - 4.5' above the ground. If you want to adjust the angle just put a stick behind it. You want your camera looking down the trail, so that your camera has time to wake up.
Hope that this has helped some, Good Luck scouting!

Have you ever used a trail camera?

I'm looking for some outside security cameras, how well do these cameras work?, and do you have any recommendations?

Answer
I have used a few different brands and models of security cameras and have some that I would recommend. First of all, I recommend staying away from X10 cameras. Although they are inexpensive, the poor quality doesn't make X10's worth buying. X10 cameras also don't operate over a wireless network which is something I prefer.

I feel that wireless network cameras are some of the most secure, high quality and easy to manage options available. Most people already have a wireless network for computer and internet sharing at home, so adding a network camera makes sense.

My first experience with network cameras was with the Panasonic brand. Although the quality was good in day light, the night vision was poor. Within a year the camera had burned out. This was the case for two different models of Panasonic cameras.

Then I finally discovered the Axis brand of network cameras. I have been running several Axis 207w models for more than two years and have not had any hardware issues. They work so well that I almost forget I have them installed. Now these are not necessarily considered outdoor cameras but I have them installed in my window ledges (inside) and they are facing outdoors to monitor sidewalks and door ways. They have very good quality in the daytime and even night images are good with minimal light sources. 30 frames per second video capabilities is very good for a camera in this price range.

The setup on the software side is easy and you are able to view live video over an internet connection using a web browser. It has motion activated functionality and good settings and options for custom surveillance needs. Recorded video can be played back using the included software. I like to watch what happened while I was away on business or vacation. It definitely gives me some piece of mind when I'm not around my house.

Trail camera questions?

G

I'm looking for a motion detecting camera for nigh-time use at my campsites
something like this>>http://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-119455C-Trophy-Vision-Camera/dp/B0039UX5C8
I'm not a hunter but am an avid backwoods camper and would like a camera to see what wanders through my site at night (I have snapped a bear and a fisher cat with my handheld) and for security when I leave my camp for extended times. Trips are only a few days so maybe Time lapse is better then motion detecting, but I would rather not have a flash at night so night vision is a better option. Also it is strictly recreational so I can't justify a big expense.
What do you use? what would you recommend?
Thanks IA
G

Answer
I use a infra red camera at my house in the woods. Makes color pics during the day. I use a Wildgame camera I bought at Dick's Sporting Goods. But Cabela's has good ones too for a very reasonable price.
Good luck, I hope you get some beautiful pictures.

What is the best type of Security Camera?

segfgag

I recently started driving an out of control school bus. I've had to really lay the rules down and have had several students suspended off of the bus to try to bring it under control. I'm worried one of these bad thugs are going to try to vandalize the bus in my yard or steal something from my buildings. I'm looking for a camera that does continuous loops of photo's that I can plug in, and works in low lighting. I don't want to have to worry about it unless something happens where I want to check it. (no switching batteries, SD cards etc). Is there a maintenance free trail cam type camera that loops over it's own photo's that plugs into a 110v outlet? Thanks

Answer
I think you should go with Videosecu Bullet Outdoor CCD Security Camera

Color CCD image sensor. signal system NTSC
Build-in 26 infrared leds for night vision.
Horizontal resolution: 420TVL; Minimum illumination: 0.0 Lux; Lens: 3.6mm
Weatherproof camera housing prevent from water, crush
Free 12V DC power supply and mounting bracket. Free security warning decal 3"x2"

Thanks for the help :)

Answer
There are some that run with infra-red lights that can't be seen. There are lots of what are called "trail cams" and other cameras that were designed to film wildlife. Some are camo and made to be hard to see: http://www.squidoo.com/What-Dogs-Do-Home-Alone and others can be really tiny: http://www.squidoo.com/bird-cams I've used both of these types in different situations.

How to catch them in the act?

James

Somebody, I have a good idea who has been going into my grandparents garage and hiding stuff and leaving the key on the lawn mower on killing the battery. Now before you say that one of us left the key on, I'm the one who mows the lawn and I always take the key out and put it on the work bench after I'm done. My grandfather always tales up for this person and says it's not him. I want to catch this person in the act on camera. Any tips on how to? I don't know where in the garage to put a trail camera as it is small. Any tips to get evidence? This person is sneaky.

Answer
security cam hidden outside the gargage door in fake bird house, hole in plastic trash can, tree. get motion activated; hopefully is enough lite.

discon the battery.

put silent motion detector alarm on mower, g. door, etc.

Is it legal to use a trail can to photograph a public area for suspected criminal activity?

best security trail camera image

krzylove

Can a security company use this technology without informing everyone that it's in use? I'm talking about areas outside like parking lots and stairwells.

Answer
All they need is the property owners permission. The law states that a person cannot reasonably expect privacy in a public place (obviously not including bathrooms, dressing rooms etc where the reasonable expectation of privacy IS expected), therefore putting cameras - and recording the public - in a public place is lawful.

Signs put up to inform people that they are being recorded is only done as a courtesy and crime deterrent.

What should I look for in a lease before I sign it?

.

I'm going to sign a lease tomorrow for my first apartment and I'm not sure what to look for in the contract. Any suggestions? I know to look for the amount of rent due each month, security deposit issues, etc. but I'm not sure what else.

Answer
The answer above is good - be sure to follow that advice. Additional things to look for in the lease document...

* The name and address of the landord (for legal notice purposes), and what phone numbers you use to contact them in case of emergency.
* The timing and method of rent payment. For your records, you should always ALWAYS pay your rent with something that leaves a paper trail - a personal check, or a money order with a RECEIPT.
* What additional fees you will be expected to pay during the term of your lease (front end, during the term and at the back end). You don't want to be surprised with a bill for something like annual dues for amenities.
* The insurance you are required to carry as the tenant. Almost all tenants are required to get renters insurance (a very good idea even if not required).
* The rules and regulations associated with the lease.
* What parking restrictions are in place and if you have an assigned parking space, be sure the exact location is specified in the lease. Also, see where visitors are allowed to park.
* What items will be deducted from your security deposit at the end of the lease term. Some landlords will automatically clean your unit after you vacate (no matter how clean you think you left it). If they are going to hire someone to clean your carpet, you don't want to waste additional money by having it done yourself.
* What (if any) utilities or trash services are included in your rent.
* What maintenance items you are responsible for doing yourself.
* What the termination penalties are if you have to break your lease early. You need to be especially clear on these provisions!!! If you look through this message board, you will see that the single most common question is various versions of "what happens if I break my lease". You need to KNOW exactly what will happen even if you don't think the situation is likely to apply to you.
* Before you sign the lease be sure to inspect the exact unit you will be occupying, and be sure that is the unit specified in the lease itself. Don't look at the model and think you will be happy with your unit - they are not always the same. Also, some units are better than others due to location within the buildng or complex.

When it comes time to get your keys and take occupancy. Do a pre-move inspection. Use a camera to document the condition of every item in the apartment. Take close-up photos of any carpet stains, damaged fixtures - absolutely anything that is not PERFECT when you move in. Also, do an inventory of any moveable items that are in the unit at the time you occupy. Write it all down, print the pictures, give a copy to your landlord and keep your originals with your lease to use when it is time to move out. Even if you stay in that apartment for 10 years, you want to have your original conditions documented to avoid claims of damage when you leave.

Check to be sure that everything works - run faucets (hot and cold), flush toilets (several times), adjust the thermostat to turn on the heat and the AC, take a small electronic device (perhaps a radio or even the charger to your cell phone) and check every electrical outlet, open and close every door, drawer and cabinet to be sure they function properly, check all door knobs and locks, open and close all windows, run the shower... You get the idea. If there is something that is not working properly, notify the landlord in writing on the front end!

Now... good luck with your new apartment. Hopefully it will be a wonderful new home for you!

What is the best trail camera for use in cold weather?

best security trail camera image

????

We had bought a trail camera that ran on 4 'd' batteries, but the cold weather where we live drained the batteries quickly. We would like a trail camera that doesn't eat up batteries in cold weather. We need something for home security also, and would like a trail camera so we can use it for security and hunting. Is there a solar powered trail camera, or some type of security camera that doesn't get affected by cold weather?
where does he live? was the camera put through a harsh winter? we live in south dakota

Answer
My son has a Moultre I50. They claim 150 days on a set of batteries. His ran from October to March last year without a battery change.

Help finding a good set of security cameras for community entrance without electricity?

AlanIAM

I need advice on security cameras. We have two entrances to our Colorado mountain community neither of which has electricity. We want to post cameras at both entrances and maybe one or two other locations. I am thinking we'd have to go with battery operated cameras and even better if the cameras allow the batteries to be solar recharged. To save us having to climb trees, removing memory cards, etc., we would like cameras we could drive next to with a laptop in the vehicle, download the pictures, delete the pictures from the camera, be on our way. Would be even better if we could transmit the pictures via the internet but nothing electronic out there, like a router, and transmitting pictures via satellite would like be too expensive, I think. Might someone here know of a good camera or a kit that would fit this need? Our budget is $500 max and that will be a bit of a stretch.

Answer
Check out wildlife/trail cameras with GSM connectivity - if you've got some sort of cellphone reception in that area.
Can't recommend any brands or even websites, though. Most of them seem to come from China anyway.
What I can see from here, the prices for the GSM models seem a bit overrated, though (around 350$) - a German supermarket chain is regularly selling the cheapest no-GSM-model for 99 â¬.

If you don't have GSM connectivity in that area, you might check if an Eye fi card works in the cameras that might be suitable for you: http://www.eye.fi, those look like ordinary SD cards, but provide WiFi connection in addition.

Oh, and perhaps run a cord down to a battery compartment at ground level. Saves you climbing that tree to change batteries unless some a**hole rips out said battery compartment (won't do them any good with the batteries inside the camera still operational...)

What would be the best motion activated camera?

best security trail camera image

onedot.dar

I want to put on in my apartment to record who is coming in and what they are doing. Anyone have experience with these sort of things. I want one that will record to maybe my computer and not real expensive.

Answer
U can use a trail camera or game camera, which is what hunters use to watch wild animals without them knowing.

Here's a bunch of them:
http://www.cabelas.com/ssubcat-1/cat20098.shtml

But if U want to record to your computer, here's another option: Use a regular web cam and "dorgem" software. The computer acts as the motion sensor via software.
