OK, but a little slow

I actually bought this at another store for a very low clearance price. I've used it in the backyard to see what's running around back there. It's been reliable for about a month. I leave it out for a few days and bring it in to see what's going on. I have a 512MB card in it, so it will take about 100 images.
Honestly, most pictures don't show much. I think it's probably leaves blowing or the occasional bird that flies though the sensor and triggers the camera. We get the occasional squirrel and bird, but have also caught the neighbors cat (see attached image) and dogs running around. Turns out there was hole in the fence they just put up. Most daytime images are clear and sharp.
I found you should have some kind of a backdrop for the night images. When pointing into the open field, the images are very-very dark. I changed it to use the garden shed for a backdrop and it helped considerably. I'm not sure how you'd translate that use into the woods.
One other problem is that snow can cover the lens pretty easy. They are inset a bit so when snow or ice falls, it gets into the opening and blocks the lens.
If you can find it on clearance it's a fun toy, but I think it's overpriced at list. |

This camera is horrible and customer service stinks

| I purchased two of these cameras for wildlife surveys and they both worked for about 1 week then one of them started to only take black images both day and night. So I sent it in for repair and they charged me 10$ to send it in even though it was under warranty then I got it back and it worked for a few weeks and it messed up again and I sent it in again and another 10$ and then it broke again so I gave up on this camera. The other system worked for about 1 month got some good images on it then it started doing the same thing as the first one so then I quit using either camera now they are just sitting and collecting dust. Probably should just throw them away. I have since purchased three other camera brands and would recommend the leaf river IR3-bu as my favorite IR flash camera even over the the other two cameras I have tried the no flash cuddeback and stealh cam I230IR. |

This Product Doesn't Deliver

I have used the Bushnell Trail Scout Pro 2.1 MP for a little over two weeks now and it has been a disappointment. The unit has not produced a single in-focus picture in any of its operational modes. Although not described in the instruction manual, the device appears to use an infra red focusing light and receiver. The 'focusing' time interval is several seconds long before the camera snaps a picture which may suggest that the source/receiver aren't well matched or are underpowered. It may also be that Bushnell is using a single compromise algorithm for both visible and infra red light when focusing - the result of which is that the camera is never in focus.
Both the LED flash and the incandescent flash are so weak that almost all night images have to be extensively post processed just to see what is in the photo. The incandescent flash is good for about 15 feet while the IR flash is even less. This is unfortunate since the infra red motion detector works for over 30 feet even for small animals.
The unit I have is also erratic in performance: a fair number of photos are inexplicably overexposed while others (at night) are totally black and can't be processed at all. The instruction manual in the box and the Bushnell website have not been helpful. The worst of it is that the Bushnell folks are very hard to contact. They do not have a customer service email address posted on their website which leaves telephone fax or writing a letter. After telephone waits I have faxed them a number of times and am still waiting for a response.
The idea of this product is good and the equipment appears and feels rugged so if the folks at Bushnell can figure out how to make it work properly and then describe it with a better manual they will have something worth the price. Until then I suggest purchasers look to other sources for a better product, but I will warn you in advance - other solutions will be more costly. |
