Cuddeback? Leaf River? Other brands?

Looking to buy a game cam.

Getting it mostly to get proof and evidence to prosecute trespassers and poachers, so it MUST have a "No Flash" option, and UV night pic option.

Any others besides Cuddeback and Leaf River offer these?

Can anyone tell me, from actual personal experience, about positives and negatives of these or other brands?

i have heard that the infared cuddebacks are bad... i personally dont have one, but maybe someone that does and doesnt like it can give u more info.

I have saw some pics from the cuddeback infared cam i thought they were good. The no flash pics are pretty good also from leafriver and cuddeback. Good luck in your choice making.

Todd(dogdoc) has the IR leaf river cam. Might shoot him a pm. I like leaf rivers customer service. They are great. From what I have heard of cudde, I would not buy anything from them.

You may want to try and Build your Own, These pics are from a Homebrew Digital S600 IR system. I run this Cam on a Yard feeder in the Yard here, The camera is elevated and set back to get a full scale view of the area... It does not utilize a slave flash, Just the cameras flash and Iso is set to 800. Pics are converted to greyscale only.

The Camera is a Sony S600 Camera converted to IR... The Board is a Pix Le. Board makes no differance there all good and will perform equelly, Its just personal preferance.

I have the older ones that dont have night time photos. They have the flash and it works great for me
