Probably my last batch of Stealth cam pictures

The load of BS that these cameras are giving me is increasing by the day. Today, when i checked it, i had the "summer of 09 camera curse" inside. ANTS. Millions. In the external battery and the camera. There was so many of them that i could hear them walking on the forest floor before i got there. WTH? Ive had cameras in the woods for 7 years and not a single ant ever managed to wedge itself in, i have this camera for 2 weeks and its a apartment complex. The battery was dead of course, probably the camera to. I was so ticked i just left it in the woods to deal with another day.

Managed to take 130 pictures, and only 8 of them had animals in them The rest were blanks....rediculus :computer:

Im a cuddeback man from now on













Awesome quality

 

Wow that sucks man, I had the same problem with my old stealth cam the thing just quit working!!

 

I had that happen to me a couple weeks ago...Took the camera home and blew them all off...Put the camera back out on a different tree and didn't have any ants and it took 145 pics...Sorry to hear about that.

 

I work with a guy who had the same problem. I believe he used a dab of gorilla glue to solve the problem but i'm not exactly sure where he put it. I'll ask him and get back to you.

 

well thats reassuring...should have read this before i bought my stealth cam.......hmh...? maybe a freak situation.
who knows but i hope i didnt just throw 149 dollars away

 

I've owned 2 Stealth cams and had the SAME problem with both of them. Hundreds of photos of leaves blowing in the wind, then 1-2 deer photos. I eventually gave up on them. Like you, I'm a Cuddeback user now. Although I have had decent luck with my Moultrie cams as well.

 

Ive never had any problems with mine but if you want to get rid of it ill be happy to take it off your hands.

 

I actually pulled the camera yesterday and cleaned it out and recharged the battery. It seems to be working fine. Im not going to put it back on the same tree though and i am going to try and seal all the little holes in the bottom so i dont have critter problems again.

 

I haven't had any trouble with my Stealth Cam. I think its going or 3 years now. Still working just fine.

 

I have a buddy with an older Stealth and its just as reliable as yours. The batteries do go fast though.
