Hope this whole venture works out for everyone. I like how the video maintains the info bar at the bottom. That's a nice feature.
I think changing the delay setting has helped. It's raining so I'm not as into it this eve. All that's left is to get this cam out in the woods and let it do it's thing.
I will say the customer service is first rate. Exodus cares about their customers. Thanks Chad.
Without having to go back and read all this... How much? Whats the specs?
Well here I am again. I just finished mowing & I wanted to try this video thing again. When I mentioned that the cam turned off after a video was made, I learned that the screen turns off after the 1st video for some reason, yet continues to take videos without me realizing it. I just think there is a lack of info in the instructions to fully understand this cam. I decided to say fugg it & get the cam in the woods. When I switch it to live mode again, there is still a 10 second countdown. That same countdown while at the house would make the cam go live. I was hurrying to get the cam closed up during the countdown after attaching it to a tree & while I stood back looking at it, the red / blue flash lit up. I really do believe I'm going to like this cam in short time. $200 is telling me I damn well better. I'll check the cam this coming weekend.
Ok, I've been playing with this for a few hours & I'd like to say I'm impressed, but it will remain to be seen. The battery tray doesn't like to come out easily. I have to yank it out after depressing that button. It comes out a bit & gets stuck. Perhaps in due time, it will wear down a bit. I do not like those latches. They get in the way & I can see one or both of them getting broke down the road. I bought this to use in video mode & so far, my dog has already walked thru a number of times at different angles before being detected, just like Spencie mentioned. I had some videos of him coming thru, but the cam was already activated, so more testing there. I walked thru it once & it caught me immediately. In picture mode, the cam will catch him. The cam makes some kind of odd mechanical noise at times, almost like a spring being sprung.... I dunno, but it's not an issue at this time. It's taking forever for photobucket to process a video, so, in time I'll post one.
That was an HD sneeze right there!The video should be public now.... I'll post a few more when I get home
Hey Spencie, really enjoying all of the feedback and photos! I know I've been quiet lately, but I did notice that you had the cam in 12MP setting. I would say, something that I think might not have been stated in the manual is that you gets a wider field of view in the 2, 5, or 8 MP settings. I think you'll find the 8MP setting is just about identical to the naked eye as far as quality goes, and you should gain a few feet on both sides for more observation space.
As always, Chad and I are here to help if you guys have any questions. Pretty excited to say that I will officially be an Ohio resident at the end of this week!
