I'm really looking forward to these cameras hitting the market.  They will be hot I'm sure.

During the daytime, ths camera will reach out to 50 feet, capturing 4 MP digital images and video clips.  There is also a 3 picture multi-shot mode that will automatically fire off 3 pictures in succession when triggered.  One of the big things to watch for on this camera is the improved trigger time.  Moultrie boasts that you won't be left with empty frames like on previous models.  You get all the same picture stamping with time, date, moon phase, and temperature.  The camera's software is now easier than ever to update as well.

The camera will come with 32 MB of internal memory, but will accept memory cards of up to 4 GB capacity.  So you can feel confident that you will have plenty of space to work with when setting any of the three resolutions for pictures or two resolutions for video.

The Game Spy I45 will be compatible with the Moultrie Game Spy Management System that will allow you to access your pictures and camera settings remotely from your PC.  This much anticipated feature will give you the data you need to maximize your hunt, and ensure you are on the right trail or in the right stand.  And you can analyze that data from your home, before you ever head into the woods for your hunt.

Moultrie I40

This 4 Mega pixel camera has a quick trigger, and the infared emitters can reach out to approximately 50 feet. You have the option of choosing between 3 different picture resolutions and 2 different video resolution modes. Up to 3 pictures can be shot upon each activation of the PIR, with an approximate 13 second delay between each shot. The timeout between activations is configurable between 1 to 60 minutes, so you don't end up with a memory card full of pictures of the same animal. The daytime pictures are in color, and the night time infared pictures are in black and white. Each picture will have the temparature, moon phase, time, date, and camera ID embedded. So you will know when, and under what circumstances the picture was taken. The same image stamping is available on the videos that the I40 captures. The video images can be captured during the day and night. These videos can be 5 seconds, 15 seconds, or 30 seconds in length.

The camera comes with 32 MB of internal memory, but will accept optional SDRAM memory cards. A 1 GB SD card is included with the camera, but it is capable of accepting up to a 4 GB memory card. Depending upon the mode your camera is operating in, you can capture thousands of images or hours of video on a single 4 GB memory card.

As mentioned earlier, the I40 gets approximately 150 days of operation off of 6 D cell batteries. It also has the capability of accepting an optional external power source. The MFH-CPP Power Panel is compatible with the Game Spy I40, and it uses a 12 volt battery and solar panel to give you indefinite battery life in the field. This optional accessory can pay for itself over time.

The weather resistant case comes in a black color, but you can always apply a camouflage kit to make your camera less detectable to would-be thieves. Moultrie also makes tripod mounts and camera security boxes that are compatible with this camera. I highly recommend using a security lock box, either from Moultrie, or a third-party manufacturer to protect your camera from theft. The I40 is a popular model, and there are many security devices on the market for it.

Another great feature of the I40, is the camera ID feature. You can enter in the location fo the camera, and this will be embedded on each photo as well. Moultrie also added an Up/Down angle adjustment knob on the back of the camera. This means no more placing of sticks between the camera and the tree, just to try to get that perfect angle. The Laser Aim feature emits a 'red dot' laser beam to help you ensure that your camera is positioned to cover the desired location. Its added features like these that really make Moultrie's game cameras popular.

There are 3 modes of operation for the I40. SETUP MODE enables you to customize your cameras settings. After 4 minutes of inactivity, the camera will switch from SETUP mode to AUTO mode. When the camera is in AUTO MODE, it is ready to take pictures or videos when the PIR is activated. Once the camera enters AUTO mode, you have 30 seconds to leave the field of view before it will start capturing images. Lastly, is the HANDHELD MODE. In HANDHELD mode, the I40 will operate like a normal digital camera, and you can take pictures by pressing the shutter button. In this mode, it can capture pictures or video.

You have several options for viewing your pictures. You can remove the memory card, and place it in a card reader in your PC or Laptop. You also have the option of connecting the included USB cable from your computer to the I40. This will allow you to view the images on the SD card, or the embedded I40 memory. You can also use the included TV Out cable to view your images on a TV.

So if you are in the market for an afforable game camera that is packed with features and options, then check out the Game Spy I40 from Moultrie.
