Hi guys, I am looking for a trail cam. Doesn't need to be fancy as far as remote control from app, or sending pictures. just need reliability, not too much battery drainage and weatherproofing. SD or microSD card would work. There are tons of options on Amazon and Camofire, and all of them had have great and bad reviews, ~100$ would be around my budget for it, but could go higher for pic/video quality and reliability.
Thanks

Just started using cameras, but have been happy with the Stealthcam Qs20 and they can be had pretty cheap.

I've had good luck with Moultries in that price range range.

Been using Bushnell's for about 5 years now. I have been running 6 of them. I just had the first one go out on me. It went through a tropical storm. The other 5 did too. So I guess that's pretty good odds. The picture quality is good day and night. Good video too.

For non-cell cameras, I like the Bushnells also. Had a few of them over the years. Put Luthium batteries when input them out, late August usually, and batteries would last through Christmas.
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

Check out the Browning line. They are great cameras. I have had 4 for several years now. Mine stay in the woods year around. No issues at all.

You can get a cellular Tactacam Reveal X for around $100 now. I run 4 of them year round and like that they're hands-off most the time (just change batteries a couples times per year).

Just got back from a pronghorn hunt. The outfitter uses nothing but Browning, they have 22 of them up. Thought that was a pretty good recommendation.
