Raxor Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I just bought a ScoutGuard SG550 and i was reading the manual and it says it isnt waterproof. I will be setting it up on my stand thats about a 5 hour drive from me and it will be sitting there for about 4 weeks. Anyone have any problems letting theres sit in the rain? Do i need to do something to protect it from the rain? What do you guys suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Never heard of a trail cam that was not weather resistant, however I had a stealth cam that leaked like a sieve after it had been in the field for a couple years. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer for clarification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I've never had any problem with weather and my trail cams (Cuddebacks, Wildviews, and Moultrie's) However, water proof and water resistant are two different things. Water proof means that the camera could be submersed in a pool without causing damage. Water resistant means it would be unharmed if it sat in the rain. I don't think they make a trail cam that is water proof, so clarify that it still is water resistant. If you're still not sure, contact the manufacturer, but I'm pretty sure you should be ok putting it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
