With all the gamecam talk going around, I decided to share what I have stumbled onto as the best of the cheap game cams out there. WGI terra 12......a 48 dollar cam at walmart. With an extended warranty available ( if you ask about it or click the right button on the online order page )These cams have a built in delay setting, where they take a pic every 15 to 20 seconds. ( estimated in my part ) insanely fast trigger speed. Good night time pics. I've not used the cam in video mode as of yet. No help there.
Unedited examples below......and feel free to ad your own pics for comparison.
10-1-19 edit........after having several different people, with different laptops....... checking cards, pulling pics, reinserting cards after deleting pics, ect. It became an issue with some cams not going back to being fully functional after the same, or a replacement SD card was returned to the cam.
What it's come to is this........after scanning the card for pics, you must delete the file that holds all the pics from the SD card, then format the card before returning it to the camera. This ensures the cam will take pics every time.
Looking at the front of the WGI Terra 12, the left front clear porthole near the motion sensor flashes every time the motion sensor is triggered. ( flashes red ). I cover that with electrical tape. The right front porthole senses ambient light........thus determining if the cam needs to activate the LEDs or not.
In order to tell if your cam is taking pics and is fully functional after reinserting the SD card, cover the right side ambient light sensor, thereby tricking the camera into thinking its dark, and the bank of red LEDs will flash every time to make a hand movement in front of the cam and it takes a pic.
Great cams for the money. Like many other things, they have little tweaks that must be learned.
