[Cajun Executioner]

I purchased a Uway NT50B "Black Out" camera for about $300.00. The reviews were really good on this camera at the website that is supposed to be non bias on game cams. I received the first camera and it worked fine for about 2 weeks until a rain. On the first camera I had major issues with the remote control not working. After the camera quit working, I sent it back to the manufactor and received a second camera after about 3 weeks. I tested the second camera out today and this second camera is not working. I will give you some details....
After playing with the camera this is what it is doing. Sometimes the buttons on the remote will work. 50% of the time it will work after I press the buttons repeatedly. Note** You cannot program the camera without the remote control. After finally getting it programed, I set it to take pictures with a 10 second delay. It took 2 pictures and quit taking pictures. I turned the camera off and on and tried this 3-4 times and it would take 2-3 pictures and quit. I then set it to take 10 second video's with 10 seconds between video's. It will take a video for 1 second then it will not do anything else. I had it in a walk in closet with the lights off and I was viewing for the flash through my iPhone. (You can see the flash through a phone camera)  No flash. I then set it to take 10 second video's with a 20 second delay. It takes a 1 second video and it will not take another video. I repeated this process 3 different times and even bumped up the delay to 30 seconds and I tried it in different rooms in the house. At first I thought that I may be too close to the camera so I tried it in different rooms with different lighting to no lighting. This second camera is a lemon also. I found a forum about this camera and found out that I am not the only person with these problems. One guy is on his 5th or 6th camera before he got one that worked. I wish I would have found that forum before making this purchase. This is the time I need a camera in the woods and I am left high and dry!

This is a word of warning.... Do not spend your money on these camera's!!!!!!!!!!! Consider yourself warned!

Sorry for your problems. I went through 5-6 replacements before getting an exchanged for a Bushnell 466. My NT50B was one of my favorite cams when they were working correctly but I have had enough of them until they get their QC were it should be.

Thanks for posting this up. I was about to purchase one of these. How are the Bushnells working out for you?

So far my Bushnell 466's have been the best trail cams I've ever owned and I have owned just about everyone out there.
