    Well I had my neighbor steal my one trail camera but I can't prove it so I wanted to buy a blackout camera and set it up high and aiming down and blend it in real good and then set up a real obvious camera down below ! And try catching him in the act ,so does anyone have any idea on what would be a good black or camera
    For this ?? I don't want to spend to much more then $160.00


    It will have to be a camera that does not miss allot of action !

    Covert MP6 Black. Check eBay as you can get them for under $160.00

    If you look around hard enough you can find a black 60 for around 160 bucks.

    I would like to get the camera as soon as possible hoping i can catch the thief in the act as soon as i can ... The link jake gave me has the black 60 trail camera for sale for 159.00 would that be better then the mp6 black?? I want something thats small and i know the mp6 is smaller but then the black 60 has better quality videos and pics

    I'd go with the black 60, it'll throw out much more light.

    I am more then happy with my mp6blacks. Mp6black could work on security duty, but in close confines.

    If you are doing video or trying to catch a thief, I think the black60 mounted up real high angling down will be the way to go. I know I have one on security duty and so far so good.

    Not sure on your set up, but very very few people have complained of the batteries falling out of black60s. I know I dont have a problem and my camera is 15 feet up, angled down and I have to lean way the heck over on a ladder just to get it and I never had a issue. But maybe run a piece of tape across the batteries. Chances are you wont have a issue, but just throwing as many tips as I can to help you.


    I run my black60(2012) on 5 second delay with 3 picture mode for security duty.

    But if you are getting the 2013black60 and run it on video, make sure to use 720p as them videos turn out better then the 1080p due to the more frames per second on the 780p.

    Also on wing supply dont forget to try coupon codes "thanks10", or "welcomeback" or "welcomeback12" or "dhnet" for even more savings ;)

    Keep us updated and let us know if you need any more help/advise.
