Hi i have a Bushnell trail camera and has stopped working it is the third camera I have had in three years replaced each time.
What type of trail cam would anybody recommend.
Cheers
 
Out of interest David,

When you say stopped working, does it just not turn on any more? I had issues with mine and had to update the software..

Trail cameras are cheap electronics in a plastic box that we then leave outside tied to a tree for the whole year so they have a very high failure rate and a "good" life for one seems to be in and around 2 years. Take a look at the chasing game forums as these folks take their trail cameras very seriously indeed:

Chasingame.com discussion forum Index page

Bushnell offer a 2 year warranty for the most part because they had some quality control problems with the pre-2012 cameras in particular. If you want better support and reliability than Bushnell then, from what I've read, you have to go for Reconyx. I don't have the money and am not brave enough to tie a £600 camera to a tree so I've never tried one myself.

The truth is that once you read something like the chasing game forum, where many members have a wide range of cameras from many makers, it becomes clear that they all have problems and that they are all prone to having a relatively short service life. I have 2 Bushnells, on about 2 years old and one about 3 months old, and I like them plus they are the only cameras that give me exactly what I need however the others are catching up fast.
