Would this be a good camera for spotting dogs, etc. that may be killing our free range rabbits?

Yes, absolutely. If you know the general area where the dogs strike, that will be the best place to set the camera. Of course, only motion activates the camera, so I hope the dogs are not out of "sight" when the picture is taken. Since there's no way to predict the direction the rabbits will take, good luck.

Yes there is no flash. It takes very clear pictures and has quite a wide range.

Absolutely! I use mine to check in on my dogs during the week. Just make sure you lock down your wireless router. There was a case in Texas where someone hacked into the camera , was watching the baby and speaking to it through the speaker in the camera.

I ordered that and when I received it, it would not work beyond 10ft pointed straight at the sensor. I called the company and they said it was a bad one and sent a replacement. I got the same effect with the replacement. So personally I think you would be better off with a cable switch or just using timer on your camera. these DO NOT get the range specified so I count them as a piece of crap. I certainly would not use it to attempt wildlife photography or anything of that nature. This answer is based off of using a canon rebel xs. Dslr

I thought my camera had a red light visible at night. Sometimes the animals are looking straight into the lens even though the camera is well hidden in a tree. I will double check and update tomorrow.

As JWB mentioned, had good luck with the Moultrie 880, too! Nevertheless, I do own one of the Bone collector versions. It works well. ** However, if you purchase one of the bushnell bone collector cams, make sure you test it upon its delivery (or within the return window) for the dreaded 'auto-trigger' some of these tend to have. Basically, once the PIR senses motion, the camera will take pictures until either the batteries run out or you turn it off. I had this problem with the bone collector last winter (for xmas), and returned it through Amazon without any trouble and the second one works perfectly. There are many settings for picture quality and the photos are good and with a set of lithium batts (highly recommended) this thing should last a long time (up to a year I have had one of my bushnell cams go, but much depends on camera settings and frequency of photos, etc).** I have an older cudde too. Personally, I have been drawn to the bushnell's, but cudde makes good cameras too. Bushnell = good cameras for me, cost effective, slightly slower trigger speed, but super great battery life, good photos, but if target is moving rapidly the photos can be a bit less refined. Cudde = trusted brand, known for a fast trigger, and reasonable cost. I haven't had the best cudde pics, but it was an older camera. If it were me, it would come down to $ and battery life depending on what you need it for as many cameras are good now - even the moultrie880 (had pretty good luck with that camera too!). Good luck.

In my experience, this air gun does not have enough power to kill a rabbit unless at extremely close range. It will however serve to chase them away and in worse case, severely wound but not kill the animal.

Yes, this airgun is powerful, and accuracy according to it size. I shot a rabbit from 30 yards, just one shot clean kill. I think within 30 yards it is good enough to kill gophers.

First I'd make sure I don't have bad batteries . Then I'd check the Iram that is for infrared aiming if that don't work then cam locater is bad. I have mine set to every 1 minute and HI res and on auto. Good luck can't believe all the Awsome pic I have got with cam!!!!!

Yes, we bought ours just to take pictures of wildlife--moose especially. Our 500 lens (fixed) was just too much many times.

It will be perfect for that. Unlike other cameras where you cannot use it for surveillance because a human will see the read light when it takes a picture, this one does not show the red light,... yet takes good pix at night. So that is why I bought the cameras...because it is good for surveillance.

Yes, for critters that is. Check out some You Tube videos, one in particular shows hunting rattle snakes and rabbits.

yes it does make a flash so not sure it would be great for that use. we use to see animals in back acreage. if you want great detail maybe the security cameras are better.

Hi JT, I don't have rabbits in my area (or they have never been an issue), I use it to keep away the neighborhood cats who were using my yard as a litter box. I use the setting for cats, (mid-range) and it has been working really well, I am very pleased and can recommend the strobe Yard Sentinel for the same situation :)

I have not tried this, so I do not know. I only use it as a "surveillance" camera for my dogs.

Yes it can, depending on how it is set. When we first set ours up we tested to see if our beagle, who is old, fat and slow, would set it off. Yep. But to be honest, this thing is a piece of junk. It may or may not work and will quit without any reason. I now use Loftek IR cameras, with my own security system I pieced together. They work lots better, have the ability to select not only sensitivity, but also security areas. And, if you get an intruder, you have his video.

I wish I could answer this for you, but I only use mine for wildlife spotting out at Yellowstone. I imagine it would work just fine, as you can see things very clearly at these ranges.

I use the Bushnell 8mp Trophy Camera as a security camera, in addition to using it for photos of wildlife around our property. It works so well that we have several. Easy to use. Yes, would recommend as a security camera.
