I have been running trail cams for many years. I started out before they even had digital cams. I ran the old Stealth Cam 35 mm cams. Spent a ton of money on developing film. From their I went to the old Moultrie cams. Liked them, but they went thru the batteries like crazy! Then I went to the Cuddeeback Captures. As much as everyone hated them, I loved them. I ran them for years, until I started getting into homebrews. I had 3 of the captures, but sold 2 of them so I could build a couple more homebrews. Then the last one finally took a crap. I feel like I got my money out of that one tho, I had it for years. I should add that I still feel that the Caprure took the best pics out of all of my cams. ( All tho the S600 is a close second) So then I was running just homebrews. I have had a P32, a P41, and now 2 S600's. I love the S600, but changing the batteries is kind of a pain. Last year, I got started on the Coverts. I now have a 2012 Red 40, and a 2013 Red 40. I have never been a fan of the IR pics of any cam on the market, but I feel to this day that the Coverts take the best IR pics of any cam out there. And I love the video mode of the 2013 model. But lately, I have felt that the IR pics from my Coverts have gotten worse, meaning very blurry. Then last week, I started having problems with the 2013 Red 40. It was telling me that there was no memory card, and I format all my cards every time I change them. I now have that cam at home and I am going to do some testing on it. The 2 things I like the best about the Coverts, is the battery life, and the day pics. NOw tonight I checked cams again, and now one of my 600's is not taking pics!!! So I brought that one home now too so I can test that one too. Sorry for the long post, just had to vent a little.
Yea my MPe5 dumped out on me. Lasted less then six months. got worse and worse and then I couldnt get it to turn on or off or go to setup mode. Sent it back in on tues.
Have you talked to Pat or anyone else in customer service? I have not used the Red40's as much this year but I do have a few. I really like the MP6 Black but the ones I have had have worked well.
Covert has the best customer service in the business and its very easy to get a hold of us Drop an email here . .. https://www.covertscoutingcameras.com/Support.html and within 24 hours (Mon-Fri) you will have a reply. Maybe a bit longer next week as I will be out of the office :D
Without a name or a RA# it would be impossible for me to know. . . . . I do know if we have received it ... it has been taken care of and shipped back out as of 630 tonight.
Completely forgot to include my name sorry Pat! It should be under Tommy Auth! Thanks again for the awesome customer support!
