Primos Truth Cam Blackout #63035
By Matt
This review is for the Primos Truth Cam Blackout - Model 63035, not the 63050 Model as pictured on some websites, so look at the model numbers. From what I read, I think the 63035 Model has been out a little longer than the 63050 Model, camo color, and has two less LEDs. There is not much info on these Blackout cameras, so here are some of the specs:1. Camera is 9" ht, 7" wide, 2" thick2. 6 volt camera and has external battery port3. Requires 4 D batteries4. Requires SD card - 1GB to 32GB5. Has 60 LED - Settings allow you to use 36 LED or 60 LED6. Takes 2MP, 3.1MP, 5 MP, or 7MP photos7. Takes 15S High Res, 15S Low Res, 30S High Res, 30S Low Res, or 60S Low Res videos8. At 3.1MP, the SD card can hold the following: 1GB=820 pics, 2GD=1650 pics, 4GD=3300 pics, 8GD=11420 pics, 16GD=13220 pics, 32GD=26440 pics. At 2MP, the camera will hold about a third more images.9. Will record time, date, moon phase, temperature10. Has a delay of 5 sec, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 30 min, and 60 min.11. Has photo burst of 1, 3, and 512. Has 3 sensing modes: low, normal, and high13. 1 sec or less trigger speed14. Pictures are color during day shots, b/w at night15. Comes with 72" strap and will except security cable lock16. Instruction manual says batteries can last a year using minimum delay and photo burstI just purchased the Primos Truth Cam Blackout, so I will update this review after some more use.I put the camera out last night to test and it was very easy to set up. It has a push button digital control panel that illuminates with large digital text. Standing inches from the camera and staring directly into the blackout flash, you see a very, very, very small hint of red when the camera takes a picture, but cannot be detected if more than 8" away.This morning I had 441 pictures on the camera. This was using a 30 sec delay with 3 burst. There were no pictures that were blank and all had visible wildlife. A couple of images had an animal or two that were blurred, but the camera remained focus within the shot.Remember, an SD card with a faster download speed allows you to use less battery, save images faster, and will keep up with the camera trigger speeds. If you have a camera with an awesome trigger speed but your SD card cannot download the images quickly enough, you will start getting blank photos. I recommend purchasing a higher quality SD card.So far, I'm happy with the purchase. I'm not the biggest fan of Primos, but after a lot of research, this seems to be one of the better cameras on the market for the money.UPDATE AS OF OCTOBER 14, 2011I have now had two of these units in the field from August 27 to October 14. First thing is setup. The camera comes with a strap that is worthless when hunting Texas mesquite/scrub brush, but the camera does have four threaded holes on the back of it for the Primos bracket. I didn't use the Primos bracket but instead attached the camera using some u-bolts to a 2 inch steel pipe driven in the ground 5 feet. It's nice and tight. I prefer this method actually because too many cows and deer have moved my cameras in the past. These cameras had a 16GB SD card HQ and the settings were on 3.1 MP, 1 minute photo burst, normal sensing, and 60 LED flash.First camera had 16008 pictures and the batteries had very little juice left. Camera had recent pictures from October 14.Second camera had 5760 pictures and the batteries were dead. Last pictures taken were on September 15. How does one only last three weeks and the other seven weeks, I have no idea. In the past, I've purchased bad batteries off the shelf and this may be the reason. These were Duracell's so I thought they would have performed better.Another thing I noticed about this camera is that as the pictures went on, the night flash range was not as wide or long, but you could still make out the animals within some distance. I'm sure this was due to the batteries losing juice.As for weather, winds speeds get really high and there was some tree movement that set the camera off; not to many times, but some. These trees were about 50 feet away. After having 4 inches of rain the week before, there were no signs of moisture in the units.In conclusion, I think the cameras are performing well have taken some great pictures at these feeders. I have tried to include a variety of pictures of day and night, so I hope this helps everyone when comparing and researching game cameras.UPDATE AS OF 11/06/11This weekend I checked the cameras again. The two cameras had about 11500 pictures each since the last update; same camera settings. Duracell batteries were replaced 3 weeks ago and only had 10% life left on both. I'm thinking this was probably due to the weather moving through the area causing it to get down to 18 degrees. Colder temps have always eaten up battery life quickly. Next week I'm putting a solar panel and rechargeable battery on these things. Pictures are still good and the units had moisture sitting on them this morning; no visible signs of moisture in the units. I was also in the blind at 530 this morning and there were no visible flashes while the unit was taking photos. Besides being a little disappointed with the battery life, the units are starting to fade. Really could care less about the fading as long as the plastic housing doesn't start too brittle from sun exposure. I assume Primos puts a UV protectant in their moldings and this is only effecting color. We'll see how these will do thru the winter.UPDATE AS OF 11/14/11This weekend I checked the cameras again and they're working great. Besides eating up some batteries, the pictures are really nice and crisp and the camera have no visible flash; I have gotten thousands of great pictures this season. I'm really happy with the purchase.

Primos Blackout
By C. Dalton
I purchased this camera eventhough it was more money than I wanted to spend, just for the benefit of "No red glow or flash". Completely undetectable they say. That is NOT the case. The camera does have a definate visible glow at night and deer and coyotes obviously see that glow. Pictures on the camera show them staring directly at it and the next picture is a blurred shot of their backsides as they run away. Stand in a dark closet and trigger the camera. You will have no problem seeing the red glow. I was also disappointed that it leaks badly in the rain. There is water inside the camera and on the batteries, and it collects on the sd card rubber gasket and seeps through to the sd card. I tried to check the gasket but there isn't one - just a plastic lip. It does not have to be a hard rain either. I also noticed that it has difficulty adjusting it's exposure during the early dawn and late evening hours. If it takes three pictures in a few seconds, one will be dark but in color, the next will be a black and white night shot, and the next will be completely black. It does that consistently, so many pictures you have to manually correct (sometimes 2 steps) to lighten them enough to see. The battery life is also poor. It will take about 200 pictures and then it drops to 70% from 99%. It stays on 70% for 2-300 more pictures and then it goes directly to "Battery Low".I also have a Moultrie D55-IR, about half the cost of the Primos. Yes it flashes red when a picture is taken, but it takes perfectly exposed pictures every time, and takes honestly thousands of pictures on a set of batteries. In fact, the two cameras are set up fairly close together and they each take 150 or so pictures a day. I have changed batteries 4 times now in the Primos and the same set in the Moultrie still says 55%. As far as picture quality, the Primos (when it exposes correctly) takes beautiful clear pictures. The Moultrie quality is slightly less (less megapixels) but is way more consistant.Bottom line: If you are buying the Primos Blackout so you have no glow, don't waste the money. If you are using it for home protection I'm afraid the burgler will take the camera too when he sees the glow!

By ALambl
I bought the Primos Blackout Cam about three weeks ago to monitor the two large glass lights that sit on walls at the entrance to our housing plan ... vandals have repeatedly thrown rocks and used baseball bats to damage the lights beyond repair. Each replacement light costs $300. The cam takes great pics, but night time shots aimed at the lights creates a bit of a glare. Placed the cam about 35 feet from the entrance walls, but sensitivity is a bit weak at that distance when dealing with humans. Only vehicles entering or exiting the plan are captured. We are hoping to catch the vandals parking the car out front first, then attacking the lights. So far no luck! Although we are very pleased with the quality of the shots taken, the battery life has been very disappointing. Using the four D-size batteries, and with the weather at night dipping into the low 50's, I find we need to replace the batteries almost every 3 to 4 days. The power level drops down to below 10% and then the cam quits functioning properly. Gets quite expensive. I hope we can find an alternative power source to resolve the issue of having to check cam every 2-3 days.
