#TIMETOOL TRAIL CAMERA FULL#
It easily captured full body deer, turkeys and a coyote. Employed in temperatures less than the suggested 15° F lower temperature limit, the Tasco captured all quarry that passed it-including an oversize fox squirrel-indicating that the auto sensor worked well and trigger time was sufficient. But, you’ll know that a buck is there and, if set, the time and date it was in the area. Depending on the animal’s distance from the camera, background, and whether it’s a daytime or nighttime image, counting kickers and stickers on bypassing buck could prove difficult. Sporting a 3-megapixel camera, which is similar to what cellphones had around 2006, image quality is okay but not spectacular. The Tasco’s other features include: 3 5/8”x1¾”x4 13/16” size upward of 9-month battery life with eight AA batteries (not included) day and night auto sensor 1-second trigger speed 12 low-glow LEDS flash distance of 30’ SD card slot (card not included) 15° F to 120° F temperature range and an adjustable web belt. If only a survey into the animals utilizing the area is desired (sans time and date), simply insert the batteries, hang the unit, and then turn it on-that’s it.
#TIMETOOL TRAIL CAMERA SOFTWARE#
Concerning the latter, the date and time must be set using “Timetool” software on a PC or Mac computer.
Its photo-only mode, low megapixel images, and lack of a display and controls, among other things, contribute to its minimal cost. Purchased at a local Wal-Mart for $35, the Tasco 3 Megapixel trail cam was the least costly model in this roundup. Despite my initial trepidations about putting down hard-earned cash on “value-priced” trail cams, in the end I was glad that I did. Foremost, I need to know that the quarry is present, its size, and the date(s) and time(s) that it passed the camera-nothing else.Īs such, I located and field-tested three readily available trail cams costing less than $80-most being significantly less. Neither do I need museum-quality images of game animals sent to my cellphone nor full weather reports and solar-charging capability. Personally, I don’t have that kind of dispensable income to strap to trees for thieves to snatch or bears to use as chew toys. In fact, some models chock full of the latest (and mostly unnecessary) frills can exceed $500. As with most sporting equipment, trail cam prices can run the gamut. The always-ready devices provide the hunter with unparalleled reconnaissance this enables him or her to strategically plan a hunt, not leave it to chance. That trail cameras are invaluable tools for hunting goes without saying.
