D50IR Cameras

[dh1984]

hi i got 3 D50IR cameras and when it glows i think it is scaring the deer a little bit. is there any way i can cover up the part that's glows red where it will still work.

The cameras takes SD memory card and i usually keep at least a 8GB card in it.

so lets here it from some pro's that builds their own cameras is there a way to cover it up?

Someone posted a link on this thread of a guy giving a Trail Cam seminar. He had tested cams at various heights and found that mounting them at about 6 feet high caused much less spooking in deer from the red glow. I am going to try that this year.

i might give that a try. only think the only thing we have to do is angle it down a little

custom1 enterprises sells a camo tape that some have used to hide the red a little.

I sold my IR cams for this very reason.I had white flash cams out and then switched over to IR cams,and the number of deer pics I was getting dropped of dramatically..I mean it was cut in half,and of the deer pics I was getting,they was all on alert looking at it...THe deer don't even notice the white flash.I think they just think the white flash at night is lighting and don't think nothing about it.
