arrow32 Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 A few people use to make them on here I don't know if they still do or not. Never done it or I'd help you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I think William uses them, don't know if he makes them. I've seen some amazing pics from them for sure. Send wtnhunt a pm if he doesn't reply in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Welcome to the forums. Yep, I have built a few of them. What are you looking to find out about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawgblitz2006 Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 home brew trail cams I want to get into building them but not sure where to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Used to be some good building tutorials on the internet, I may have some links to some, will have to look. Good place to start would be to figure out what cams and boards you want to use. My first 3 were pixcontroller boards, but they are no longer selling parts and no longer servicing boards for homebrew customers who loyally bought their products, I would not buy from them ever again myself anyway. I went to yeticam boards, better boards imho, may be a little faster triggering and I think also probably more reliable. There were other good options out there last cam I built, but I have not built a new unit probably in over 3 years though. Used sony p series cams for all my builds, p32 and p41's.

WHISKEYSWAMP Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I've built quite of few with sony p32s and p41s but haven't in a few years. I started a couple more this past winter with parts I had laying around but ran out of time, hope to finish by deer season. Some of my cameras have been in use for around 8 years without many problems. I would recommend going to Hag's House, www.hagshouse.com, build your own homemade trail camera or video game cameras for your research.
