Why isn't a weatherproof 'Trail Video Camera', similar to this, made for hunting? Strap it to a tree, sit in a tree down the path and wait with the video monitor.

uhm.... I don't know. Why would you ask the general public this question and not the product manufacturer?

As a matter of fact they do have such a camera... A bit pricey though.. Even cellular technology as well. These uniden will do what you want but they only stay charged for about 4 or 5 hours. I have taken an old game camera that didn't work, gutted it and placed a camera similar to these in it for the same operation you were talking about. A lot cheaper too. Good luck!

Ad states that this camera is weatherproof but not waterproof. I have mine located under the eves away from rain.

Probably not. This camera is barebones, with all kinds of electrical potential being exposed to the environment. If you want to use this little thing outdoors, you would have to harden it to electrical interference. The cost to do it right would most likely exceed the price of a "game camera" which is designed for outdoor use.

anyone try to use this type of card in a hunter style tree cam? So would I be able to walk through the woods and receive my photos directly to a phone, once my phones network is in range?

this camera would work fine outside as long as you keep it out of the weather. i know that sounds contradictory but even though this says "outdoor" i would try to keep it under a roof or eave or something that shields it from the worst of the weather. as far as operating temps...i would not expect anything wireless to work well in the winter so take that into consideration if you live in a northern climate.

I use a couple bungee cords & strap it to a tree. All outside game cameras are made to work outside so weather is not an issue.

I prob wouldn't recommend it. There are cameras designed for outdoor use that are sealed properly from moisture and other potential damage.

I agree with Brooklyn Dodgers answer. This is an indoor camera and I wouldn't recommend using it in the elements.

It measures distance by picking out the brightest object in the frame. I guess that's using a reflection but I don't think you'll like it for hunting if you plan to hunt in the woods. On cloudy days and in deep shade it just doesn't work.

Yes you can. These night vision infrared stealth binoculars are lots of fun, my boyfriend used them for deer hunting and said the were cool. But their not high quility, they are a toy. Don't expect too much from them. Have fun!

No. This is not an outdoor camera. It would probably survive humidity for a short time, but not direct exposure to weather.

I opted not to buy a video monitor due to an occasionally poor wifi connection and to security concerns. I know it's a slim chance, but I have read news stories about people connecting to the video monitor to 'spy' on your home, including gaining control of the camera. The even slight possibility of this was too creepy to me for me to get a video monitor. Also, as another commenter mentioned, we bring this with us when we travel - it would be a lot more difficult to do that with a video monitor.

I have the same problem in my neighborhood. I actually work in law enforcement and review different types of video surveillance frequently. This camera really compares to some of the better video equipment I've seen. Also, I live in Alaska and it's very dark here in the winter. I've found that this camera has a great deal of clarity, even in pitch black, and seems to do fine in arctic temperatures. From 35 feet, I can clearly pick up vehicle and physical body description, and by zooming in while I'm reviewing I can read a license plate.

I wasn't sure either because it's not in the recommended list from gopro. I recorded a 7 minute long video (1080p Medium width @ 60fps) a couple days ago and it worked just fine.

this may work. It needs to be mounted on a tree trunk and high enough to be out of reach. also needs to be within approx. 40 feet of target. Mount camera inside spypoint metal box and padlock it. Also needs a cable lock around tree. (Master brand is good cable lock) I don"t like spypoint"s camera mount; it is JUNK. HME products has a good mount @14.99 (amazon) This camera is totally black at night; no lights of any kind from the unit. If the link between the camera and the remote is good, you will get same pictures in the event camera is destroyed or stolen. Hope you catch the LOW LIFE vandal. this may work.

Water Proof? No Very Water resistant - Yes. When you are hunting and its raining, you may experience some "drips" here and there at the edges but since the roof is vaulted the water runs off. One thing I like to do is to purchase a bag of mulch "cedar-cypress etc..." for $3.00 and put it inside the blind. Makes it smell good but most importantly makes moving around inside quiet and dampens any sound (talking to your buddy). Simple answer is: No you won't get wet hunting in it. Do put some spray silicone (tent sealant) on the blind if you want total waterproofing (within reason) but air it outside for a while before hunting deer etc... critters with good noses. Water Proof?

Absolutely!! Thats exactly what its mainly used for.. I would buy a waterproof case for it so the snow wont damage it although its partially waterproof.. these cameras are very durable without lacking any quality.
