Wildgame Innovations 360 Cam Lightsout Bark

I purchased a Wildgame Innovations 360 camera 2 years ago and it worked great up to this year. I put it out for deer season this year and when I checked my sd card I would find that the camera had either shut off or had stopped taking images a day or so into the week. I called Wildgame Innovations customer service and she recommended reformatting my sd card and factoring resetting the device and if that didn't work then the device just wasn't going to work and it was outside of the warranty period and she would just recommend me buying another camera. So I reformatted my sd card and factory reset the device and once again it recorded for a day and then nothing. So I figured that I must have gotten my use out of this camera, and though I was a little peeved since this unit was only 2 years old, decided to purchase another 360 to replace it because I loved that it took images all the way around my food plot. Well I put this 360 Crush out a week ago and went back today to check it and once again it took images for 1 day and then the rest of the week nothing. I have had it. I am returning this and I will get another camera and after the lack of response that I have gotten from Wildgame Innovations I can guarantee you it will be another brand name that I buy.

nice machine, easy to use, but 3 problems:- 1 : the start time of the recording is too long, if the subject passes and does not stop in front of the camera, it will not be on the movie, if you are lucky , juste the tails in on the end of movie ! LOL ! unfortunately this camera does not follow the subject, it remains fixed to much long time where it began to film and suject have time for go far away, mostly with 15 sec minimum before start the next vidéo recording....why 15 sec?maybe one day can be more performances into a firmware update :)- 2 : Not really silent: brrrrzzzzzzz! it catches the attention of animals or potentiel thieves .... but- 3 : ... focus point is not sharp for animals coming close of camera after hearing the sound of the system, it could have been an advantage for catch nice close up face pictures with the noise of camera but not, missed , (I will not talk about the over exposure in this cas, it's almost understandable)look screen shot from movie :

Super slow motion to photo trigger, I set this camera side by side with another and it captured maybe 20% of the photos my Browning captured. The motion to trigger is simply far to slow to rely on. There's not much point in having a 360 camera if it cant move quick enough to snap a pic as wildlife passes by. Then there is the poor photo quality, and almost completely useless night photos. The blackout version which is what I have is compete junk. The pictures are so grainy and dark. I bought 4 of these, wish I hadn't. Wildgame needs to get it right before rushing to the market with cheap junk, they have lost my business.

I'm a biggie on sound. Even the cheapest trail cams have great audio and the 360 has good video, but no audio. You have to literally watch the screen. I like hearing something approaching, knowing that I need to watch and then it appears!It also did not follow subjects. I assumed that being a 360 it would pretty watch something until it was simply way out of range, it didn't. Sometimes I don't think it turned at all.I wanted one of these cameras for so long and finally broke down and got one and found it really wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

This camera takes photos well beyond the advertised 70feet. Takes typical trail cam quality photos. The 360 is awesome.Update. I baught a second camera, but it didn’t work out of the box. I had to send it back. My original camera is still working like a champ after being outdoors, since day one, in upper Midwest climate. Still taking awesome pictures at 100 plus yards away.

I now own three of these. The only reason I did not give it five stars is because it consumes a lot of batteries. I have to replace them every other month and, requiring eight batteries per camera, this can get rather expensive. Plus, carrying that many batteries on the trails all the time is a bit of a pain.

Did not rotate as supposed to to, pics were awful, don't waste your money, sent it back. The return was easy and simple, that was the best part

I have three of these and for some reason this blacked out one is slow and misses stuff.
