Moultrie M-880i Gen 2 Trail Camera, Mossy Oak Bottomland

Great trail camera. Very user friendly and great pics. Battery life is over the top. The price was also much better than local stores and good ol' Cabelas.

It takes pictures ok but the images from the SD card do not download correctly to iPhone or iPad. I'm not the only one that has experienced this problem. At the Moultrie website several other people have discussed this same problem on the website discussion board or forum. Moultrie has no solution for the problem. Images from other game cams download without a problem.

I've been using a Moultrie M-880i Gen 2 "invisible" flash camera intensively for a couple of weeks now. I really like this camera and consider it pretty much the perfect game camera. It is easy to use. You can use the "quick start" setting or customize the settings. It takes excellent photos. The motion detector and IR flash have good ranges. The design of the case makes it very durable and weather resistant. Battery life is excellent. The "invisible" IR LED flash is indeed invisible and does not spook deer at all, but the flash is not as bright or have as long of range. I have been using an otherwise identical M-880 "low glow" IR camera at the same time and it does have a brighter, longer distance flash but does seem to spook the deer at night - even though the LEDs are very dim and subtle. The "invisible" flash camera takes adequate night pictures and is best to use in sensitive areas where you want to ensure it won't spook deer at all. I use the "3 triggered" picture mode to make sure I get enough good photos. The Time Lapse + Motion Detect mode allows you to catch animals at peak times that may not trigger the motion detector for whatever reason. Don't worry, the camera saves thousands of pictures on even a small SD card. I use very inexpensive 2GB SD cards. The camera can use larger SD cards but it isn't necessary and the instructions recommend smaller memory cards for faster speed. I find programming the camera to be very easy. I don't understand the comments about it being hard to program. The directions are good and clear. I don't know how using the camera could be any easier considering the features. Use the "quick start" setting if you find it difficult to program. The Moultrie M-880i Gen 2 is the perfect game camera if you don't mind night pictures being slightly dim. I wish the flash was slightly brighter but there is a trade off. Animals will never know the Moultrie M-880i Gen 2 trail camera is there.

Had A wild game razor with 10Mp ,pictures where so bad you could not clearly see the deer.Blurry almost all the time. Moultrie for me from now on.This camrea is only 8Mp ,but the pictures are stellar. Clear day or night. Like the quick start , also has a aim light,so you can walk around and see when the camera will go off ,before you leave your stand. Love It!

For starters, the camera takes AWESOME pictures! But... only if you like 14,000 pictures of the same tree branch. Tried the camera over the course of several nights and the camera continues to take pictures regardless of motion or heat change. It was taking pictures every 20 seconds or so. Tried changing setting using the instruction manual, no change. Looked at the company website and they talk about 'false triggers', followed the advise, set in room with no motion and see if it still takes pictures. Still clicked away. Called the company and got very poor customer service, she kept telling me it was in the settings even though the website said to send back to company for this problem. ZERO help from customer service. Returned the camera. Disappointed because I had high hopes for this after seeing other reviews and pictures from the camera.

Don't buy! Picture quality terrible.

Smart Start is user friendly, but a 3-shot burst doesn't interest me or provide any advantage for me. Programming options under Custom Start are confusing and set up difficult, at least for me. Pressing directional buttons either sent me all over the map or no where. In my confusion I thought I set up motion detect which would begin the capturing sequence with picture taken after a 10-second time lapse. What I got was 7,650 photos over a two day period - one photo every 10 seconds with no motion detect affect. I was finally able set up just motion detect and the results are more reasonable. Go on-line to find a step by step users' manual, you want find one in the package. It'll save you time, money, frustration, and battery time especially if you use Custom Start. With user-friendly technology what it is today and with user-friendly devices in demand today this product still has some way to go to be "user-friendly." I think 3 stars is being generous from my experience.

So far so good. Takes good day and night pictures and seems to have good range. Much better than cuddyback I have previously bought and returned that cost more. Also was easy to set up.

Excellent quality. The best night time pictures I have had from a trail camera.

Has a strange set of pre-set recording times, and changing them is far from straightforward.Instructions extremely confusing. Unfortunately it was stolen before I found out if I'd succeeded.
