Do the covert line of cameras come with a small padlock similar to bushnells that is used to secure the camera from being opened while secured to a tree? I can't find much on this. Thanks.
asked not more than a week ago...I"ll see if I can find the picture Pat posted....but yes the MP6 and Red40 do I know.

attention to detail would be nice. I posted that other thread now this is a seperate question. The other thread asked if the cameras had piping for a cable to snake through to secure the camera to a tree. Now this thread is asking if the cameras come with a padlock to keep the camera from being opened after being put on a tree.
haha...wow chalk that up to being a friday haha! Sorry bout that. I'm not a 100% sure as I only have the small Cover CA's and one Red40 (just got last night and haven't looked it over) but the CA's do have a little eyelit but it's plastic and doubt it would stop much even with a padlock. Pat's never gone long and he'll know for sure either way.
Ha, I was surprised you didn't notice I was the one that posted the other thread either. But I used the small padlock so someone couldnt just walk up and remove the sd card or batteries. I heard it happened to someone I know. Both my bushnells currently came with a small padlock for this reason now i'm trying to buy some coverts and wondering if I will need to get some. Very useful if you don't want your sd card and batteries taken from someone out just walking around.
I use a zip ties on my cams cover so I can tell if has been messed with and python locked to the tree. I am bad with keeping up with keys. Locks are for honest people and chainsaws can get anything I was always worried the small luggage locks could be twisted off. but the zip ties work well for me.
I have 4 of the Coverts in the woods, I use the Python lock to attach it to the tree and a small luggage type combo lock to keep the batteries and SD card safe. I keep the combinations on the locks all the same, passwords as well!
I use a zip tie as well. I just want to know if someone tampered with it... Nothing more... Neither the hole for the lock for the cable give me much comfort. It's a flimsy piece of plastic. Not knocking Covert as this is typicall of pretty much all cam manufacturers. If you want some secuirty buy bear boxes and mount them up high.
