No Glow Trail Camera For Security

[IR LEDs] I am enjoying the pictures made with the core S=4K glow trail camera

[Yes] I bought this for property security. And I am not an authority on trail cameras. I will say this camera has a lot of features which I was looking for in a non cellular security camera. The menu is versatile and it is easy to navigate.

[IR LEDs] The Bushnell Core DS-4K No-Glow trail camera captures high resolution images, especially with the daytime camera. Some reviews say that the screen size is small, which is true. However, if one reads the owner's manual first, one can make many of the settings at home before going out into the field. In the field the screen is fine for making minor changes. The unit has functioned well in temperatures well below freezing and I haven't needed to change the batteries yet. The unit feels well made.

[Steel] Installed my Browning Strike Force trail cam with this mount. No instructions necessary, works just as advertised: I'm able to position the camera to any exact position very easily, and the camera is secured with a Python cable. Would absolutely recommend the Browning Tree Mount.

[20 MP] A couple of years ago, I bought my first, SpyPoint, cellular trail cam. Magic! I’m not alone in using trail cams as passive cottage security, rather than for hunting. (After 50+ years, I had my first break-in in 2016, and purchased a regular trail cam afterwards.) I own a small, remote island in northern Ontario, about 700km from my home. Obviously, it is inaccessible during winter (...you know...ice). It is also solar powered, and all cottage power is shut down in the off-season, and sometimes between visits. There is no wi-fi, of course. Standard security cameras, such as those blanketing my home, are useless, there. My first, SpyPoint cellular trail cam allowed me to see real-time activity at the island, and it changed the game. Instead of waiting to get to the island to view the SD card, I suddenly had daily peace of mind that everything was okay. I’m not super-concerned about trespassing, but rather a tree falling through the roof of the cottage, or that kind of thing. In 2020, when the dock broke-free of its winter moorings after we’d already closed-up for the season, camera 3 alerted me, and I made an emergency trip to fix the dock, mitigating potential greater damage if it had been left ‘til Spring. Before SpyPoint, every Spring, as I neared the island, my stomach would be in knots, wondering what I might find. Now I can SEE that everything is okay, from the comfort of my living room. I see the deer, and the ice-fishing folks traversing my island with their sleds, to get to their spot. Whatever. It’s all good. I recently purchased my fifth SpyPoint camera for the island, and am here to purchase one as a gift for my sister, who is retiring to her rural cottage. I can’t recommend SpyPoint cellular cameras enough. Economical. Convenient. Peace of mind. What’s not to love?

[V30] Installed in an outside security camera. No issues with the memory card even at 100+ outside temps.

[20 MP] For the price this is a good trail camera would buy again.

[Yes] Unbelievable photo quality in a trail camera.

[USB Bus Power] I installed 3 large disks, 2 x 18 TB and 1 x 24 TB, for use 24/7 recording security camera footage. Connected via USB-C to a new computer with an Intel i7-14700 CPU. Each disk is recording 4-5 MB per second.  Disk installation was easy. No noticeable fan noise. No need or desire for any RAID setup - running as JBODs. Wanted 5 bays for future expansion. No problems or hiccups so far.
