Product Description

Find the best stands on your property with the Moultri Game Spy D-40 digital game camera. With an infrared motion sensor with a range of 30 feet and 22 degrees, the camera delivers clear footage of moving game, day or night, with multiple operational modes to meet all of your needs. With an average battery life of 60 days, the Game Spy D-40 gives you the ability to spy out the game even when you're away for days at a time. Adjustable elastic mounting cords make it easy to mount the camera in trees or other stationary locations. The camera responds rapidly with FDA Class 2 laser aiming and a passive infrared sensor that activates as soon as motion is detected. Pictures are clear and easy to read in full color day and night, with 4 megapixel images that can be shot in low, medium, or high resolution.

The Game Spy D-40 is equipped with multiple modes to meet all of your game finding needs. Auto mode activates the motion sensor, allowing you to leave the camera alone to capture images while you are not present. In automatic mode you have the ability to capture still images day and night with or without flash operation, 10-second AVI clips-video images during the daytime that will automatically switch to still photos with the flash in low light situations, and capture multi-shot images of up three shots. The camera is also equipped with a handheld-removable manual operation, and a setup mode that allows you to customize menu settings. The electronic flash can be set to automatic or in off-security mode. The flash range is from five to 45 feet.

Designed for multi-day, automatic use, the Game Spy D-40 has a built in memory of 16 MB of video and picture storage. Up to four GB of additional SD memory can be added. The camera images can be accessed via the 2-inch LCD display or output to a TV or a computer via USB. The camera imprints still and video images with date, time, and camera ID so that you always know exactly when the stand is active. With a weather-resistant, airtight camera housing and seal the Game Spy D-40 allows you get the most out hunting season, saving you hours of time in spying out the best locations without detection or interference so you can discover the natural game patterns.

The battery life is excellent on this unit, ours has been out a good two months and battery life is still at 50 percent, and it does not take a lot of unnecessary pictures. We are pretty happy with it. The only peeve is that it does not come with a USB cord, but mostly you can just use the SD Cards and view them straight from the computer on newer computers anyway. You can set it to take like 3 pictures every 10 minutes, or 2 every hour or just one at a time. We haven't tried to do a video yet.


I hope I haven't reviewed the wrong thing, ours says Infrared Activated Game Survelillance Camera 4.0 MP. It looks the very same.
Amazing Camera

Reviewer: Tom P,
The photo quality is much better than I was expecting. I'm on my second unit. The first's IR didn't work and I had over 1,000 shots over one night. Amazon customer service had a new unit out that day. Been using it for about a week in sub-freezing weather with great results. So far have shots of deer, racoons and even a blue jay. The night flash is especially good and works automatically. Very easy to aim (2 options) and program. Had it up and shooting in about 5 minutes. For the serious hunter, sure, but also great fun for the rest of us.
LOW TEMPERATURE OPERATION

TOTALLY HAPPY WITH PRODUCT EXCEPT FOR ONE THING.
WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 32 DEGREES IT STOPS WORKING. AT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR HERE IN NEVADA WE HAVE DAYTIME IN THE FOURTYS AND FIFTYS BUT AT NIGHT IT CAN DROP BELOW FREEZING.
Great Camera

I Purchased a few of these cameras from the local Bass Pro Shop. I have used these cameras for awhile now and have captured some great wildlife shots. Last Year One of my cameras was accidently left out through a major Ice storm, the camera remained outdoors until the following season. I ordered some rechargable batteries and headed to the woods, with much suprize the camera turned on and worked flawlessly. If your looking for a reasonably priced camera I would Highly recommend this camera.
best bang for your buck!

I now have 6 of these cameras and have not had a single problem. I use them year round and have alot of friends with higher priced cameras that may have a little better picture quality, but they buy 2 for the price I bought 6, and I can scout 3 times the area they can.
Best bang for the buck

Reviewer: Douglas E. Curry,
I have one of these and one Steath Cam. The Steath Cam is about 3x the price. I've had it for 3 months. The picture quality is only marginally better at best, the battery life stinks and my flash is toast already. You'll really appreciate battery life the first time you check on your camera expecting a wealth of excellent photos and all you have is a low battery light with no pictures.

My Moultrie is still cranking away a year later and the battery life is great. The picture quality is good, they're a little grainy. The camera will stop working below 20 F. Prior to owning a Steath Cam, I would have only rated this camera 3 out of 5 stars; however, bang for the buck, battery life, the pictures are definitely good enough to know what you've got, you can't go wrong with this guy for the money. I set the camera up to take 1 picture every 10 minutes, I replace batteries every couple of months. Replace them when the meter reads 35% or below. You can also have the camera add a label to you pictures, very important once you have a couple of these guys. Eventually you'll want to keep your eye on several places at once, spending good money (unless it's real good money) on one camera will only leave you wanting another.

BTW, I'm buying a second one to replace my broken Steath Cam that's only 3 months old.
