A great, inexpensive wildlife camera,
I got the Moultrie Gamespy as a birthday gift from my husband and I could not be more pleased with it. In fact, I’m looking to buy another one. The camera is well-built/sturdy and has survived a couple of near-hurricane storms. Right now it’s still operating on the first set of batteries and it’s run for just about a month.
Setup was simple, although I did have to fumble around to insert the SD card. Keep the setup instructions, though, so you know how to reset the date/time, etc, if you need to.
I’ve only had it in place (near our pond) for about a month, but I’ve gotten great pictures of: 2 deer; 6+ raccoons; a possum; and the best — a bobcat with a cotton rat in it’s mouth. I love the fact that I can see the spots on the fawn and the markings/spots on the bobcat. That clarity is why I wanted the standard flash instead of an IR. Of course, I also have the obligatory pictures of our dogs and me or my husband messing with the camera.
We have a terrific picture of my husand’s knees. LOL
You can select whether you want the date/time stamp on your pictures, or not. (We have it stamped on the picture so we can see when the animals are around. The bobcat surprised us as it showed up about 6:00AM instead of the middle of the night.)
We selected the standard flash (not IR) model because you get better clarity and of course color with the pictures. The downside of the flash is that it does surprise/scare the animals, so there’s no point in setting it to take two pictures in close succession. The second one is always empty of wildlife. However, the flash doesn’t seem to bother the raccoons too much because they (or it may be the same one, over and over again) keep coming back.
I wish we could post pictures so you could see them. I have not tried the video and since most of the animals visit at night, I suspect the video would not be worth running as you’d basically just see the animal running away.
Anyway, if you’re looking for a very inexpensive wildlife cam, this model has worked very well for us. I recommend it.

|Not Happy with Performance,
I purchased this camera a couple months ago after looking around for a reasonably priced name brand camera. I have to say set-up and programming was very easy for this camera but overall performance left a lot to be desired. I set this up over a feeder so I expected to get a lot of pictures, man was I ever disappointed! I could clearly see that there had been a lot of activity at the feeder but very few pictures if any at times. I tried different camera settings but nothing helped. my feeder had been knocked down by bears but the Moultrie camera had no pictures of it. I was very disappointed when I would go to the feeder and find deer tracks all over the place and bear tracks and droppings but no pictures. It seems that the only time it would always take a picture was when I was walking up to the camera. I later put up my dad’s camera from a different manufacturer and was thrilled when I would have a couple hundred photos. I would not recommend anyone to buy this camera. I do have other Moultrie products that I am very happy with but this is not one of them!

|Moultrie D55 Game Spy,
As good a trail camera as any I have ever bought. Even the more expensive type. I like it because it takes great color pictures at night versus an infrared.
