9 best cheap trail cameras

Product description

The SPYPOINT SOLAR-DARK Solar 12MP Invisible IR Video Hunting Game Trail Camera is a truly revolutionary trail cam design (2-pack). The integrated solar panel technology from SPYPOINT means the days of being tied to your trail camera’s battery life are over. The internal lithium battery is powered by the solar panel, meaning potentially unlimited battery life is within reach. The SOLAR-DARK game camera also makes use of virtually undetectable invisible LEDs. The Hybrid Illumination Technology means you can adjust the flash settings to suit your specific needs. Use the no-glow setting when concealment is a must - on heavily used trails or that big buck’s core area. The boost or blur reduction settings allow you to reach into food plots or pastures where the focus is less likely to be on the camera. Optimal mode allows you to blend the settings for a lower-glow effect that has slightly more range.

• FASTEST TRIGGER SPEED ON THE MARKET: Capture high-quality, 12MP images day or night with a super-fast 0.07-second trigger speed
• LONG-RANGE DETECTION: Boasts a long-range, 110-foot detection and 90-foot invisible no-glow flash
• ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY: Features day and night images, full HD video, blur reduction, time-lapse and multi-shot mode, and an included 16GB SD memory card
• BUILT-IN SOLAR PANEL: Uses integrated passive solar panel technology in unison with the 12V on-board lithium battery to deliver virtually unlimited battery life
• BUCK TRACKER: Buck Tracker is an A.I. solution trained to recognize and analyze your trail camera photos by species and gender

User questions & answers

Question:	When the card is full will it overwrite the oldest pictures/videos automatically or just stop running? Which external adapter can I use ? (6V
Answer:	Yes, it comes with seven cables. If I remember correctly, they are 20 ft xlr cables.
Question:	How far dows the camera reach in darkness
Answer:	4
Question:	Does this camera have a time-lapse feature
Answer:	Connect the female end of the XLR cable to the microphones. The microphones are male with 3 pins. An easy way to remember is that the signal always travels in the direction the pins are pointing.
Question:	Can this camera be connected to DC power source instead of running it on a battery pack
Answer:	In my honest opinion this is not a bad microphone set. It is on the low end and it’s mostly the hardware that’s not that good but the mics themselves sounds pretty good for how cheap they are. I’m sure for the extra $160 you’ll get a bit better of a sound but overall this mic set gets the job done. It also depends on what you’re looking to record, if you’re looking to record drums quick and easy this is absolutely the way to go, but if you’re looking at a long term investment for your drums than I would hand select my microphones meaning pick say an SM 57 for your snare and say an Audix D6 for your Kick, some good overheads and you have a solid starting point there instead of having a collection of just average mics from a beginners kit. Hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	How large is the actual imager? it say 16mp images, sure, but that doesn’t actually mean a 16mp imager
Answer:	You'll need 8 AA batteries and a standard physical size sd card not a micro size that's used in cell phones. They say not to use over 32GB. I don't go higher than 16GB. I also use 4GB and 8GB. The sd cards also have a rating in quality. Look for it inside a small circle. 10 is higher than a 4 or 6. Don't worry too much about the rating number. The picture quality is more closely related to your equipment.
Question:	how well does it perform in below freezing temperatures
Answer:	PIR motion detection range is 70 degrees to 70 feet, IR detection distance is 70 feet.
Question:	How good is the night vision on this camera
Answer:	Yes the set I got has four medium spiral core strings.
Question:	Am I seeing this correctly, it can be mounted with a strap or screwed to the tree
Answer:	One can buy a set of 4, or each string individually. I bought the set and found the G and C strings a bit bright, so I replaced them with my old Pirastro Golds.
