Saw where Sam's Club has a pack of 2 Stealth Cams XS14 and card reader for 100 dollars. This was at the McKinney location, checked online and see the same deal there.

Thanks. Going to pick some up right now. Will look just like groceries in the credit card! Anything will be better than our 5 year old cams.

Anybody got a source/recommendation for the mini-bungee cords that you use to tie cameras to fence posts or limbs? Ones that you can use more than one season? The ones I buy from Northern Tool or Home Depot are trash in the sun after one season. I have a couple of black ones that came with one camera that have lasted a while, but I have no idea who makes them. 'Could cut rubber out of an innertube, like I've seen in 3rd world applications, but that's a PITA. We put out a dozen (or more), so this becomes a problem.

Get some zip ties. They can be released easy as well with small screw driver or knife and reused. I put several together if tree is larger. 100 pack is $6 on Amazon. Delivered tomorrow free.
I just picked up the Stealth cams at Sam's. They work on the kids and dog so far.

Think cam buckles are pretty cheap and a roll of 1” nylon. Can’t be much cheaper or easier. Cams last and maybe a $5 roll of strap every few years

These Stealth cams come with straps. They are over 5 feet long. It worked 2 nights in a row on the dog food I threw out for the coons.

I generally wind up using tie wire for straps.

I looked on the net and found nothing about the XS14. No reviews, nada.
Anybody used one? Do they come with time/date stamp? Delay between pics?
