Trail Camera Review Criteria
Dozens of factors can come into play when you are shopping for a trail camera. Some of the more obvious are price, reliability, and picture quality. I am currently working on creating a trail camera test and review system. I am looking for feedback from all my fellow hunters. No registration is needed. To share your ideas all you need to do is submit a commit below. Feel confident when entering your email because we will never spam you. I am just looking for ideas on how to test the trail cameras and the criteria that you are looking for when buying a trail camera.

Last year I started out with the Moultrie I40 and have been impressed with the stills and videos. This year someone recommend the Remington Ghost at Dick’s Sporting Goods so I got one and put it up in the same place the Moultrie was to compare them. To say I was dissapointed would be an understatement. The videos are more important to me than the stills and the Ghost had the poorest quality I’ve seen yet. Thinking I may have gotten a lemon I returned it to Dick’s and got a new one in return. I then took it home and set it up in the backyard and discovered that either I got two lemons or they’re all lemons. Ex. Starting at 5 yards I started backing away from the camera and by the time I was at 15 yards I became blurred by pixels. At 20 yards I was a “Ghost” (maybe that’s why they named it that). By 25 yards I wasn’t even in the picture. I got a lot of totally black videos when it was in the woods so I surmise the deer were past 25 yards when triggering the camera. Personally I would not reccommend this camera.
Most important thing when picking out a game camera. Power up time #1, Battery life #2, quality photos #3. I would test at 32 degrees at both day and night. Would be a very interesting test.
