I cant get mine to work right.
Double D, your new cam will be shipped tomorrow. I want people to know that when one of my cams doesn't work, it gets remedied right away. My motto remains, "If your not happy, I'm not happy." Bob

There's no real answer. About the best in my opinion homebrew camera is the P41. It cost me around $300 in materials to buy everything, and then I sell them for $360. Let me say this too, I use the SSS which is a more expensive board.Many people sale this same camera for $450 while using less expensive, less user friendly control boards. That's why I've alienated myself to a lot of camera sellers. You can on the other hand build other cameras a lot cheaper. A p32 can be build for around $225 to $250. So can a S40. You can build an Olypus D370 or D380 for about $175, but the memeory sticks are no longer made and may have to pay $60 to $70 for a 64mb card. As in everything, you can put into it what you want to. Use cheaper boards, non-camo cases, cheaper cameras and build a pretty decent camera for $175 or so. They'll certainly outperform the commercial cams too. I sale the Lexus of homebrews. That's the combination of the Snapshotsniper (SSS) and the Sony P41. Hope this helps. Bob

The pictures from my homebrews are so clear I can zoom into the images and see individual ticks in a deer's ear.
That IS awesome BSK! I'll probably have to break down and buy one myself for next year.

leebowhunts,
"Homebrew" trail-cameras are hand-made systems not sold by commercial trail-camera companies. Most commercial trail-cam makers build their own imaging systems into their units. A homebrew trail-cam uses a production digital camera wired directly to the sensing/triggering system.
Since commercial trail-cam makers build their own imaging system, the build them with the cheapest parts they can find. These imaging systems take poor-quality pictures compared to the high-end production digital cameras used in a homebrew.

Yes, some of the bucks have already put on their winter coats. Bucks do this before does because they have other important resources their bodies must work on soon (body fat deposition and muscle-building for the rut).
