Pardon me for butting in....
Fastest photo interval capture rate: (Multi-Shot mode) 1 photo per 5 seconds, three in a sequence, then a 15 second delay required for 'recovery', or put another way....3 photos in a 30 second period. The remainder of the 'programmable' photo capture epoch intervals are much longer each with a 1 minute 'recovery interval between photo captures.
PIR motion detection reaction <breath> time to first capture is reportedly slow.
Moultrie I65 Trail Camera
• IR Motion Trigger to 1st Capture: 1.557 sec • Recovery Time: 60 seconds • IR Motion Detection Range: 45 ft. • Detection Width: Semi-Wide • Flash Range: 45 ft. • Battery Life: 4-6 weeks • Battery Type: 4 D batteries • Memory Card: SD card
>for those hunters who want to go 100% undetected
Users of the camera are unhappily reporting that the camera can be heard whining during IR LED dump-capacitor charging.
>...100% invisible IR flash...
Also being reported, folks can see the 'IR' beam.
And then, since the IR camera has an internal GSM cell-phone module (likely 5 Watt microwave transmitter), the camera consumes a lot more power than many cameras do. The camera uses four 'D' DuraCell (recommended) 'high-power' batteries, which are reported to deplete very quickly (report did not quantify). It seems, however, that if one does not use the internal (GSM-cell-phone) Website image-upload / remote camera configuration feature, this may be less of an issue. The camera does provide a USB port.
One of the really neat things about this camera, each photo in addition to the image itself, has imprinted on it, the --date, time, temperature, barometric pressure and camera ID. This is for multiple remote camera locations, for review on the Moultrie website server. Very kewl.
Sincerely,
plutronus

Yeah, I saw those reports. I think for the price, it's worth a shot. I'll let everyone know how I make out.

Has anyone commented here on whether ETs have a similar body temperature to ours? Or colder?? And IF you have dragos, reptilian, or otherly aliens in your infra-red sites - can you see them? Just thought I'd ask.

I'm not sure what their body temperature would be. In all of the reports I have read they seem to have a cold clammy feel to them, like a reptile or amphibian or something. I suppose some people's hands might feel that way if they were cold though. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are cold-blooded.
Is this "infra-red" camera really infra-red or is it like those night vision devices that enhance the light, like the ones the military uses?

I suppose some people's hands might feel that way if they were cold though. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are cold-blooded. Is this "infra-red" camera really infra-red or is it like those night vision devices that enhance the light, like the ones the military uses? No. This camera uses two forms of IR however:
1) the PIR object motion trigger, (this is not an image sensor)
2) CMOS CCD camera, which does not have an IR-Stop-Band Filter installed in front of the CCD sensor element to enable utilization of CMOS sensitivity to IR. To be able to image in low-light, requires InfraRed area illumination, which is afforded by a bank of InfraRed Light-Emitting-Diodes (a bit of a misnomer) which are turned on when the PIR trigger sensor detects object motion in the view area of the camera.
Modern CCD sensors today are fabricated using Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor technology. It was originally called 'COSMOS', but over the years has been shortened to simply 'CMOS'. CMOS technology is extremely power efficient and is very inexpensive to manufacture. Plus, one is able to utilize very simple transistor configurations to achieve similar functions previously requiring older power hungry semiconductor technologies. It is in part for this one reason, that CMOS CCD sensors are able to 'see' IR, as the power-noise (heat) floor is much lower, due to the technology's power efficiency. Everything digital today employs CMOS technology,popular gadgets such as cell-phones and notebooks.
However, CMOS sensors while they are sensitive to near InfraRed, are not nearly as sensitive as they are to visible light. In other words, the sensitivity range of the CMOS image sensor is non-linear, and the sensor sensitivity drops off rapidly as the scene energy's wavelength increases as it moves more deeply into IR wavelengths. Blah blah blah....it just means that ya gotta illuminate the scene with a lot of IR 'light' to enable the sensor to see things in the 'dark' with it.
But as SwampRat says, for $99 its cheaply pretty.

Sounds interesting. Why don't you post some of the photos that you take with it swampy so we can see what they look like? Maybe I might buy one of those thingamajiggers also.

<<< Has anyone commented here on whether ETs have a similar body temperature to ours? >>>
As I understand things, Greys emit roughly 1/3 the IR (heat) that Humans do, when they are physical, while Drakkos, around 3 times that of Humans, again, when they are present within our partiki phase.
<<< And IF you have dragos, reptilian, or otherly aliens in your infra-red sites - can you see them? >>>
Using the camera that SwampRat procured, and presuming that the aliens are physical within our dimension range, the answer is 'yes', as the camera's IR scene illuminator will 'paint' the aliens with IR which in turn will reflect from the alien physical form back to the camera's CCD sensor.

Mine arrived today. We'll see..... Hi SwampRat,
Judging from the photos, the whole camera seems to be fairly small size? How's the construction strike you? Do you have any inclination to disassemble it, to see what's in there? (i would) If so, take a couple of photos of the guts for us, will ya?
And of course the champagne, a few image captures of night versus day objects, I'm curious about that as well.
And finally, the product photos seem to suggest that the IR trigger sensor (although it doesn't identify as such) , looks to be a true IR 'pile' style (heh) device, such as those used in our driveway auto-lights. Its actually gotta sense the heat field of the target objects whether low-light or day to begin the capture sequence.
If your new camera works reasonably well, could be used to capture luminous-orbs, using the right bait..that'd be kewl.
Keep us abreast of the deets..
Have fun,
plutronus

So this thing will only take pictures of things if it senses the heat from them? How close does it have to be to do that? What would happen if the surrounding temperature was equal to the temperature of the object being photographed? Let's say that a person's body is 98.6 degrees and it just so happens to be 98.6 degrees outside...would the person show up on the infrared or would it all just be one solid blur? Would it even trigger the camera if the temperatures were the same? I wanna see some pictures! If swampy doesn't get blown away by the hurricane maybe he will post some...
