Some of my tried and true trail cameras (Stealth Cam G30 & G34's) are finally starting to fail on me. Can anyone recommend any good non-cellular cameras in the $80-100 range? I'm looking for specific models, as it seems the quality of some manufacturer's cameras are all over the board.

Checkout the GardePro deer cams on Amazon. Usually you can find a sale on one of the models for under $50. I’ve been using them for 3 years and have only good things to say about them.

non cell? 3 pack of browtine stealth cams, 110, can be had for less at academy sometimes. 110 for three, mine have lasted this is 3rd season. The only cam I ever had that didn't last was a cheap $29 one I bought on clearance, wildgame, I think was the brand. It lasted only 1 deer season. I have one from Am$%^& that Coollife I think, it is on it's 5 season.

I’m slowly transiting all my trail cameras over to stealth cam. They have a multi pack of non cellular cameras that are very affordable. I mean anymore trail cameras are affordable compared to 10 years ago or so

Pretty good deal. I have several Browning trail cameras and have not been disappointed.

Good deal, but that’s a cellular camera.

Browning dark ops. Not the pros. I’ve had problems with some of there pro models (the ones with the little viewing screen on the inside). But the regular dark ops ones I’ve had amazing luck with them. I’ve had a couple get submerged in water and still work and I’ve had some of them for going on 15 years probably.

I bought some muddy cams from academy for $25 a pop and I’ve been satisfied so far. I will say the videos eat up the little memory card I have in them. But the pictures and videos are better than I thought they would be and the batteries haven’t been changed since now season started.

Muddy and GardePro have lasted by far the longest for me.

I was buying Browning Spec Ops and some of the other high end cams, and they all died within a year in the PNW.

Somehow, someway, the Muddy and GardePro can get absolutely soaked past the gaskets and keep on trucking. The GardePro will screw up SD formating on occassion, so that's one negative.

I have over 30 reconyx Hyperfire 2 and older models and they are by far the most consistently reliable cams. However they are more expensive.




This a good cam, only negative I found with it is the micro SD card. Nothing insurmountable but I prefer standardl sized SD card.



I have handful of these as well and they are solid.

Browning Strike Force. My oldest one is from 2016 and still works great. The rest are all 5-6 years old and still work. They are great cams after trying Cuddeback (trash) and Stealth Cam (also trash) back in the day. If i needed more that’s what i’d buy for sure.

I am slowly replacing my old Simmons, Stealth Cams and Tasco's as they die with some Amazon specials. Gardepro, iZeeker 400 and 4k Solar and Usogood have all been good for me, down to -35c with a 12v Lithium battery.

Still run my Browning's and Bushnell's and adding the Amazon's as they replace the dead one's.

Cheers
