I have bought $350 Stealth Cams, $250 Trophy cams but none have performed as well as the $70 Wildview IR. I bought another one today at Bass pro on sale for $69.95.

I have used Cudde, Stealth, Moultrie, and Leaf River. And none of them have lasted as long or take as good of pictures as the Spypoint FL-A IR cams I have had at 24/7 365 for the last two years. I own three of them, and if one ever fails I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

I have 3 wildviews and 1 stopped working pretty quick, but the other 2 have been great, reliable and batteries seem to go quite a while...

Picked up a couple of Primos cams this weekend at Bass Pro. I got the old school Primos 35 ($99) and the "New and Improved" 35 Ultra ($120). Took some pics around the house, and in the yard, and they came out very well. I have yet to test them in the field. I bought these particular cameras based on the stellar reviews that I read during my research. Any of you have experience with them? I'll post once I get them up and operational with any feedback that I have.

I have two one for a 1.5 years and the other for a year and really like them they take great pics and pretty decent battery life.

I picked a Primos 35 up at BassPro about 1.5 month ago on one of their special buys, $69.95. Can't wait to see the pictures it takes.

I bought a Primos 35 last November on sale for around $70. Put a set of batteries in it and it took over 10,000 pics from Nov till early January on that one set of batteries and still had 60% battery life left. Night pics with IR were decent at first but as the battery life dipped into the 70% range they were not as good. The IR is not the strongest if you do not place it closer to trails or feeders for better pics. The daytime pics were still good even at 60% life. I bought a Spypoint Bloodline 7mp and have really been pleased with its pic quality. I did have one issue in West Texas with it with battery life, but have not had trouble since. I am thinking I had a bad battery. It is a very small and well built little camera.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

We have used the Primos TC 35s for a couple years now and they are still going. Most all action photos on our website are from them. Great for the money
They just dont like getting stepped on by horses, tend to not work after that.
Wish I had seen the special buys at BP we need a few more units

I have 3 cuddeback IR ($250)and am happy with them, but Primos Truth Cam 35 IR 3.0 ($99)looks like a good deal with a lot of good reviews on the Bass Pro web.
When I zoom in it appears that photo time delay can only be set for: 10sec, 1 min, or 30 min. Is that the case....No way to set for 5 or 10 min delay? Also, do any reputable retailers have these on sale for $69-$79 now? I'm looking to add another camera this year.
Thanks.....

You can get the Primos Truth Cam 46 at Walmart online for $99.00 with a free mounting package (reg.$24.99). Mine works great.

Anyone ever use the cameras sold by Wildlife Innovations?
I didn't learn this by seeing it on TV, I learned it by doing it.

Yep. Me and a friend of mine both bot one at Academy last year. Mine stopped working 13 months after and his lasted one more month than mine. I called Wildgame since their office is here in the DFW area. They said that there was nothing they could do to help me.

I use Nikon or Pentax cams. They've been my choices for a long time now and I don't normally change my preference especially if I have seen that they deliver good results.

I have used Cuddeback Capture for 3 years straight and it stopped taking pictures sometime within the last few weeks. I two Primos 35s and really like them, but agree with ranchman that the night time picture quality really decreases with low battery life. Looking at replacing the Cuddeback with a Spypoint 7MP.

The Primos Truth Cam 35 IR is a good camera for $100. I purchased mine last year from Academy for $80. These are some day and night pictures from the Primos truth cam 35 IR.
