I know nothung about these cameras so if you see something really good, can you post the information here? I'm looking to buy something but being clueless about these I will definitely make the wrong choice.

Guardpro E5 is going for $37 or so from Amazon. I’ve run the E6 for about 4 years now in all weather year round. Only one recently failed the night vision.
 
FWIW, I'm not happy with the last 2 cams that I bought - Haza and Rigdoo brands. Both have lousy image quality, especially at nite.

It looks peaceful for sure. [thumbsup]

I just went out and dumped 25lbs of corn/oats mix and the deer were on it in ten minutes. Temps are dropping into the 30's and low 20's the next few days so they're scarfing up the calories quickly.
I'll post a couple of pics in the morning.

This one was out there early this morning.

Now that the rut is over it’s all about the groceries as they need to put on fat to see them through the winter.

Yup...and the pantry for them is full here to fatten them up. Picked up 4 50lb bags of shell corn and 2 corn oat mix the other day. I put out 25lbs+- a day.

Next trip to town I'll be getting some black oil sunflower seeds and some thistle seed and mixed birdseed.
 
The challenge.

Old one horn must be a real fighter. He defends his feed successfully.....for last night anyway.

Once again, pay no attention to the date/time stamp on the camera. I empty the SD card every day and it's fresh when I put out the feed in the late afternoon. I'm not bending over to reset it every time I turn the camera on and off.

My Spypoint Link Micro cameras are getting long in the tooth, but they have outperformed all other cellular trail cameras I've used when it comes to battery life and cell connection. Bonus is their reliable and speedy phone app. My Bushnell cameras will be used only as "decoy" cameras from now on. I picked up a Spypoint Flex-M to try out and will likely pick up one of their Flex-Plus cameras with the on-demand photo capability.

re: Spypoint cameras update

My legacy Link Micro LTE cameras are still going. One had water intrusion, which was due to the door gasket getting folded back a bit. It's back in action.

I guess the Flex-M cameras are their new budget camera. I've got a few of them running now, all with a security box and LIT-22 lithium battery packs. I've noticed with the night multi-shots, the first pic is a bit out of focus, while the subsequent photo in a sequence is much sharper. I do like that the cameras have embedded GPS, which could help locate a camera if it were moved.

I've got two of the Flex-S solar cameras going as well. On one, I'm using a LIT-22 battery along with an auxiliary 5W solar panel. This is a camera I have 20' up in a tree, so I wanted to reduce the likelihood of having to change batteries. I'm not certain what the battery indicators are indicating but the camera has been up since October 6, and the solar battery indicator is at 100% and the battery at 98%. The camera is facing south but gets less than 3 hours of sunlight per day.

The other Flex-S camera is setup with an LIT-22 battery and a larger 10W solar panel. This camera I had configured to take pics on demand. THAT sucks up a bit of power. This spot gets filtered sunlight, and the camera is facing north. The battery level indicators have been fluctuating in the 45-55% range.

I was running Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries in a Flex-M camera, and it quit once the battery level dipped into the low 40s. I'm stocked up on the LIT-22 batteries and will swap them out as needed.

One thing I noticed with the Flex-S camera - it might take a few camera cycles for a change of settings to take. Making more than one change at a time seems to play a part in that.

Another thing about the newer cameras - the temperature indicator is much more accurate.
