Very poor sensor and poor night photos - Stealth Cam E38 No-Glo 8.0 Mega Megapixel 3 Resolution Settings 8mp/3mp/1.3mp Trail Camera

I tried this unit for a couple of weeks and decided to return it. The unit's PIR motion detection is terrible. It would not trigger on my 70 lb dog walking up to and by the camera (within 4 ft). I tried walking directly at the unit from a 100 ft away and it doesn't trigger until I am about 10 ft away. Granted, walking directly at the unit is not the easiest for it to detect you. Even walking at a 45 degree angle to the camera, it still wouldn't trigger until I was about 18 ft away. At night, the unit's photo quality is so poor I would have a hard time recognizing myself at 15 ft away. If you get too much closer the IR overpowers the image and you get "white out" and can't see anything.

Also, while Stealth Cam's website indicates that their units with the Triad technology are eligible for a free version of a 3rd party software called Scouting Assistant. As of Sept 2014, the software manufacturer has not been authorized to distribute the software to owners of the E38NG. So no included software to use their advanced features they advertise on their packaging. However, I did try a trial version of Scouting Assistant and found it to very useful.
