I can't speak from experience but on (www.chasingame) web site they reviewed it and basically said it was junk. You may want to check out their review. Hope this helps.

I've used one for the last couple seasons and they work great, although........ I don't put it out much. I'm afraid of it getting stolen, so that's something you have to weigh when buying one of these..........cause they aint cheap!!!d

I would tend to agree with everyone here...they cost a lot of money and on top of that, you have to buy your own video camera...
I guess my question is: what advantage is there to have video footage over just a photo? I understand maybe just to get a different angle of a rack or something like that...

Looks like a good way to loose ALOT of money to me. Some jerk would bash it just for the camcorder inside!

Taht would be my biggest fear, I get nervous enough checking my trail cam

I built my own homebrew videocam and only have about $250 in it. That is with the $50 Sony videocam from ebay and an IR array. Of course you have to buy an extra camcorder battery, a couple 12 volt sla batteries and charger for the array, and a couple tapes.
This was the first year with the video and i found it to be very interesting.
The advantage of these over a trailcam picture is that you can see and hear alot more of the deer behavior than with a picture. I was amazed at all the grunting and vocalizations i could hear from some of my videos. The microphone picks up everything.
Here is a couple sample videos i took this fall. Sorry dial up users, these are some bigger files.
This first one is of a smaller buck standing on a scrape. He moves out of the way when a bigger buck comes in.
Video 1
This next one really Pi$$ed me off. I realized after i got the tape home that the videocamera was accidentally zoommed in too much for about 2 weeks, and right during the best couple weeks of scraping activity. Decent buck, brisket view. You can see it's a nice buck, just can't see all the rack at once.
