A friend gave me a StealthCam recently. It's an IR camera. Don't know the exact model number.
I set it up in my backyard to test it out. Walked in front of the thing twice and both times it took a picture but when I look at them on my computer it triggered late both times. I'm actually half out in one pic and completely out in another. And I was walking slowly by it at around 15 or 20 feet I'm guessing.
Went out and set it up in the woods yesterday over a really big scrape that I've been hunting over. No kidding, this thing is easily 4 feet in diameter. Have seen nothing in the two times I've hunted but it's obviously being used.
Went out today and walking up to the camera saw the number 5 on the little digital readout. Imagine my excitement! Checked the images on my palm pilot right there in the woods and....NOTHING! What the crap?
Are all game cams like this? Maybe it was just a squirrel or something but I'm frustrated with the lag time on this thing (although I can't argue with the price )
Some of you game cam veterans help me out. Is this normal?
