Forum | Trail Cameras?

This camera does have a jack that I can plug a 6 volt battery in to, so I might check into that.  One of the things I do know from living up north is that cold saps a set of batteries pretty quickly.  My friend had a camera set up and we'd be lucky to get half a dozen pictures before the battery went dead.  But, bringing it back home, it would warm up in the truck and read fine.

Of course, it was well below freezing then, so the degree of cold might make a difference too….

I was gone to visit friends just north of Chattanooga last weekend, and while I was there, Dobby took us to a new Academy Sports.  It's a good thing there isn't one within a two hour drive, or I'd be flat-broke most of the time!  It was incredible the selection of fishing and hunting stuff they had available! 

While I was there, I picked up a Wildgame Innovations S2C digital trail camera.  It'll take a 2 GB SD card, which will hold 2,500 pictures!  I figure that'll be more than enough capacity for my use.  AND, it was only $60…

So I got it home and set it up in alongside the garage.  It takes surprisingly good pictures out to about 30 feet, night or day.  So now I have it set up fairly low to the ground to see if I have night-time visitors to the bird feeder in the back yard.

The only thing I wonder about is how long 4 c-cell batteries are going to work once the weather gets cold????

Anyone else got ideas on a good trail camera?
