Top 5 Trail Cams under $100

You don’t have to spend a fortune to monitor all those special hunting spots on your properties. At MidwayUSA, we have the best deals on trail cameras so you can scout without breaking the bank. Here is a quick guide on trail camera selection, along with our top 5 trail cameras under $100!

Image & Video Quality

Photo and image quality can be a major factor in your camera choice. While most cameras offer adequate photo quality, most trail cam users prefer higher-megapixel cameras. Models like the Moultrie Micro 42i offer 42MP resolution for under the $100 dollar mark!

Trigger Speed

Having a camera with the right trigger speed for your needs is essential for quality images. If your camera is over a food plot or mineral site, you may be able to save some money and get away with a slower-triggering camera. If you plan to put your camera over a trail, it is essential to use a camera with fast trigger speeds to ensure you get the pictures you need.

Cellular Compatibility

Receive pictures at home, at work, or from the stand with a cellular trail camera! We offer several brands of cellular cameras, like Muddy, Moultrie, and Spypoint, for under $100 dollars.

Camera Settings

Different game cameras will offer different camera settings. Look out for things like video compatibility, flash type, and multi-shot modes to get the results you want when you pull SD cards.

Decent camera if used correctly and good quality images

2 down-sides .. doesn't come with an SD card and if the camera is close to the ground the images wash out at night .. meaning a bright reflection that removes the detail of the image. Otherwise for the price it is a great camera. I might add that it is a bit more complicated to setup compared to the older models which I also have.

About Browning

Browning is one of those classic, traditional companies with a long, proud history. To get to the very beginning one would have to go back to 1805, to the birth of Jonathan Browning in Tennessee. Jonathan was the father of John Moses Browning. Like many of his time he sought a life in the West, which eventually had him setting up shop as a gunmaker and gunsmith of some note in Nauvoo, Illinois and eventually brought him further West, with the Mormon pioneers to Ogden, Utah.
