Hunting Forum

I have a pair of wildview cameras I bought from Cabelas I like them they take nice pictures I would recomend buying the extra battery kit for it as it does use up the d-cells pretty quick I know there are better cameras out there but for the price I am happy

I have two, and I use re-chargeables and they last a long time so your not going pulling your cameras every few days. I like the cost on them, but you get what you pay for. Wish the nite time pics were better, deer have to be close to get good nitetime pics, I have all my pics on awesomeantlers.com / if you like go on under window/peeker on the member list

I have 2 also. they work well, sometimes blur when taking a photo at night, but good battery life. I picked mine up for $125 each and it came with 2 - 1 gig cards

I got 2 of the EZ cams, got 'em for 30 bucks apiece at a Blaine's grand reopening . battery life is short. about 3 days on 4 C Cells.pictures are alright, but the flash can wash out the picture bad. gonna try the external battery hookup.  

I have three wild views and they do a good job.  The other comments are true, short battery life, flash is ok if not too close or too far.  I have purchased other higher priced cameras that have slow trigger speeds and get nothing on camera.  So at least I am seeing what is there and not spending a lot of money.  If you set them up on trails and angle them so they are in view longer the pics are better, just put them out so that you do not catch the rising or setting sun or you will have lots of pictures of the scenery and not the animals.  Working trail cams is just as exciting as hunting and you can do it all year and don't have to drag or field dress them when you shoot them!!!

I absolutely DO NOT recommend Wildview cameras. I have three Wildview cameras also and they suck. The trigger speed is horrendous resulting in many empty pictures or a lot of hind quarters. The battery life is also horrible which results in higher costs in the long run. I also have the Cuddeback Capture and I highly recommend this camera. The quality of the pictures is great, trigger speed is excellent, and there are no blank pictures. I get a ton of more wildlife on the Cuddes and the batteries last much longer. You save money in the long run with a Cudde vs. a Wildview because the cost of batteries. I absolutely hate Wildview. Sorry for the vent, I'm just very frustrated with Wildview after getting a "good" camera.

HAUTS,

I have to agree "partially" you.  The question was about the Wildview Cameras.  But since you opened the door, I agree, when I purchased my first camera from Stealthcam I put the extra money in it.  I was astonished at the slow speed.  I actually set it up on a scrape that appeared 30 yards from my stand to see what was making it.  I got lots of pictures of the scrape and no game.  I walked into my stand before daylight, stopped to see if the scrape had been hit, it had, turned walked to my stand and then the flash went off, well after I left the zone, followed by the next two in the burst.  The Wildview I got to test and had better luck on the picutes once I figured out you can not have it facing the rising or setting sun as the heat will trigger it and waste valuable battery life which is only 4 to six days depending on the amount of traffic in the area.  I finally purchased the Cuddeback IR and love it!!  Great pictures, great battery life and a lot more satisfying all around.  I agree if you can afford it, go Cuddeback.  If you can't or want numerous cameras or are interested but not sure and want to try trailcamming, or like lots of my buddies, have areas where others like to find and take them, then Wildview is an OK camera.  But I will just have to work a little extra from now on and build my supply with Cuddeback, I ahven't found any stores that take trade ins though!!! LOL If you kow any let me know, I'd love to trade my others for Cuddeback.

I have 2 WILDVIEW cameras and would not recommend them to anyone. The trigger speed is real real slow, I always got allot of nice tree pictures. They batteries do not last long either.

I had allot of problems and could not reach anyone by phone and when I emailed them I never heard back... that was until a month or so later when they sent me advertisement emails to buy new cameras.

I bought a cuddeback capture 3.0 and loved it. Lots of pictures, good battery life and fast trigger speed. I bought a second one a few months later. I am using one now at my bird feeder and have several great pictures of birds in flight.

Go to Bass Pro, Cabelas and read the customer reviews for the game cameras.. below is another place to read reviews.

i have two inferred wildview cameras the pics are ok. the nighttime ones can be a little blurry. i had them watching a corn pile so i'm not sure on the trigger speed because everything just came up and stood there for 20 minutes or so. the batteries last about three weeks depending on how many pics it takes. i got them on sail at gander mountain for $99 so you get what you pay for.

I would agree that you get what you pay for. The bushnell IR lasted 5 months on one set of AA batteries til temps got below zero. I also got the moultrie 4.0IR this spring and since April the batteries are still at 70% Them are D batteries. Both cams have really good day/nite shots & trigger speed is great. Both cams costed around $100 apiece on sale. But compared to the old stealth I had, it would cost me that just in batteries a yr. And about wildviews, I seen pics from my buddys cam. DONT waste your money!! If your like me, I dont want to sit and guess what that buck has on his head. I want that rack to jump out of the pic. With the cams I use you can get some realy detailed shots. Hope this helps.

newhunter2009, go under the Archery forum and go to the "trailcameras" post. That should give you a good idea of what you will get with a wildveiw cam. If wildveiw is your only choice go in the woods with your 35mm house camera and start snappen shots. It will save u time and money.J/K Go take a look.

I have 2 wildview IR game cameras and they work quite well. I have mine set to every 3 mins to take a shot. I get about 500 pics per set of batteries. For the price they are well worth it to me but that's just my opinion. Happy Hunting

Have one, love mine.

I like my 2 they are cheap and strong a bear busted 1 up pretty good but i still got the pics once i found the cam

I have an IR from wildview. Wish I would've used that 100 bucks on lottery tickets. Mine will not save pics to a SD card and the only pics I got were of me. I don't like the slow trigger speed if the critter is moving around directly in front of it for atleast 30 seconds it will take an OK pic. The only thing it is good for is wasting money on batteries.

I have 1 wildview cam love it but it uses C's quick but the one I have is white flash. Takes good picks Here are some pics off mine

I've had to retire all of my wildview and wildgame cameras, because they just stopped working! I've replaced them with the new Moultrie and picture quality and battery life is much better than the wildview, and considerably better than the wildgame.......although they aren't nearly as good as my one and only cuddeback. Cuddeback may cost more than the others, but the battery life and picture quality can't be beat.
