CopperHead75's Review of Stealth Cam No-Glo Triad G42 Trail Camera - 12MP/8MP/4MP/2.0MP
I ordered this game cam after doing a lot of research. I had a Primos Truth Cam 35 that wouldn't turn on out of the box. I finally got it halfway working and it lasted a month and died right as the rut was beginning. I boxed it back up and took it back for a refund. I did a lot of reading and saw a lot of positive reviews for the Stealth Cam G42NG so I went ahead and ordered it.
It takes much better night pictures and has great range. Daytime pics are awesome. Video is very good as well. I have not tried any of the custom settings. I have been using the presets. I will experiment with the custom settings after hunting season is over. Battery life seems okay so far. I put standard alkaline AA batteries in it and have gotten approx. 1200 pictures and 43 videos and the battery life is at 50%.
I have noticed that the black LED no flash doesn't seem to alert the deer like the red flash does. Normally with the red flash the deer were constantly looking right at the cam. Not the case with this one.
The cam produces a very bright flash in the center of the picture. I have been mounting mine about six foot up a tree, angled down. It seems to work better that way for me.
A lot of comments I read said the 2013 model had issues with the case leaking. I built a custom mount with a little roof over it to help keep the water off of it although most have commented that the issue was fixed on the 2014 models.
The only thing I have not been satisfied with is the customer service from the manufacturer of this cam. I called to get info on software updates that was listed on their website and got a lot of run around. The website said the update was for V.01 only and no one could tell me what that meant or if the version on my cam was the latest one or not.
Overall, it's a great cam and I am satisfied with my purchase. However, I've only been running this cam for a month.
