[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5438725, member: 1409"] And if not running true black flash (invisible), the risk of spooking mature deer is just too great, even though battery life is significantly better with the "red" flash of most cheaper cams. For my uses, running video on cell cams almost defeats the purpose of using cell cams, due to the reduced battery life. But every application is a different purpose, and I do see some cell cam situations where video can make more sense than still pics. I currently have some Browning cell cams being used for security that are programmed for 4 rapid-fire pics with only a 1-second delay between the volleys. No sound, but this is very similar to video, yet provides much clearer images, less battery drain, and [U]much quicker to review.[/U] Another advantage is the quicker trigger speed (still pics), whereas with video, a car driving by might be getting out of sight before video begins. I'm using 4 because if a vehicle drives by at a rather normal speed, I get the front of the car 1st pic, and license plate by 3rd or 4th pic, with the 2nd volley kicking in almost seamlessly as the vehicle goes out of sight. Whether the vehicle goes faster or slower, still get it all. That would end up being roughly a 10-second "video" clip. [/QUOTE]
