What cameras are yall using to get photos for more than a few weeks? Maybe I need to find a solar cameras as my batteries run out after a couple weeks.

I am on year 3 with ten of the $29 tasco cams from Walmart. Batteries last at least 6 months. They are the most reliable camera that I’ve ever had. I wish they made a cellular version.

Im on year 5 with my tactacams.
Before cell cams my bushnell trophys did great. They are old and still all work

I will be selling my Browning cameras soon. These were all used for one season and in excellent condition. Going cell cameras only because it is a big property and I get tired of spending the day swapping cards. With blue Energizer Li batteries, they will last all season, 50,000+ pics at least. Crazy battery life. Love these cameras and have been using them for years. Takes great pics too.

I am using stealth cams now and I get a couple hundred photos in a month and then the batteries are dead. 5 hours a away and cant change batteries every month

Let me know if you want some of these. I'll make you a deal. Think I have 20 or so. The trick is to spend little extra up front and use lithium ion.

Long lasting…hmmm…


I tried 3 of those Walmart tasco’s and two were duds right out of the package ! I had one that lasted a year but it fogged up with every rain and high humidity days- in the garbage! I do think that these may have been good before COVID but not now. I purchased two Moultries in the $125 range last year and they were both just as bad as the tasco’s maybe even worse. I’ve got a browning I purchased last year and it was no good after 3 days but I sent it back in and it has been flawless.

I run the Wiseye cameras, with a 14 ah 12 volt in a shell box last a long time and the pictures are fantastic. Camera is about 75 feet from the Feeder and still captures day and night.

Reconyx Cameras are the best. Currently running 7 for 5+ years

Last full season on once charged Amazon rechargeable batteries

Very very few false pictures taken. Nothing worse than a bunch of blank pictures taken. I hate going through a camera with a 1000+ pics

Don't be afraid to buy used as they have $35 complete upgrade and repair program

tactacam + winghome off amazon that's a solar panel with internal battery. I'm running 4 of these combos and never have an issue unless a critter pulls the cord out or chews through it

updating to add that each camera probably sends me 50+ photos a day. i think it comes out to around $90 per year per camera and you get unlimited photos. i recently opted for their $9 per month add on so i can request 15 second 1080p video clips when i see a interesting photo.

Moultrie Edge - 3 months with 2 bars, 1 upload per day
Moultrie Edge Pro is supposed to be even better as you can adjust similar to a security camera and void out certain areas of viewing area so motion doesnt trigger. Tree limbs, grass, etc.
