HCO Uway Vigilant Hunter U250B Blackout Invisible Flash IR Scouting Camera

Perfect high quality stealthy game or security camera. love the color built in viewer and the black LED for the night vision. Tons of options for settings. Very cool look. Came with strap, instructions, and USB cable. Done some testing and works beautifully. Nice picture quality and shipping was package to protect this awesome camera.

This is a Great item for paranormal researchers. It only takes pictures when there is movement! Great compact size!!Highly recommended!

Disclosure: I did not buy this through Amazon; bought it direct from Uway. Also, I don't use it to take pictures of "paranormal activities", just deer and turkeys (although sometimes their activities do seem paranormal).I own four other HCO / Uway cameras (three NX-50's and an older ScoutGuard) that have been workhorses, but I am very disappointed in this model. First, it recommends either lithium ($$$$) or NiMh (rechargeable) AA batteries. You can use regular alkaline AA batteries but will not get good battery life. Sometimes it doesn't even have enough "ooomph" to complete a 30 second video. Second, the maximum video length it will do is 30 seconds - not enough in my opinion but a moot point given the battery issue. Third, it never did work at all with the Uway flash extenders using their "plug & play" connecting cable - it would not trigger the external flash. (Yes, I know about the menu option for "Int", "Ext" and "Int + Ext" illumination and had it programmed correctly. I use the Uway flash extenders on all my cameras.) Finally, the internal flash died completely so now it is essentially a "daytime only" camera. A buddy of mine bought one at the same time and has had exactly the same problems as I have had. I thought about sending it back to Uway but didn't feel like investing the time and shipping expense for a camera that didn't really meet my needs in the first place. I should say, though, that customer service at Uway has always been top notch.If you want a workhorse and don't mind "red" instead of "black" IR flash, get the NX-50. It's been discontinued by Uway but you can still find some on Amazon. I'm going to try the Uway VH200B next.
