MoultriePanoramic 180i Game Camera, Mossy Oak Break-Up Country

Purchased these September 2016. Recently went out to replace batteries and found three of my four cameras would not work due to water in the battery compartment and housing of the camera unit. Warranty expired last month, now I am out $1000 worth of investment. Needless to say I am not happy. These are the only trail cameras of any brand that has ever had this problem ( I own nine cameras from four brands). Other than this huge problem they took good pictures while they lasted. Edit: update 6/19/19: Two of the three replacement cameras were also defective. Moultrie refused to replace them so I had to initiate a chargeback through my credit card in order to retrieve my money. his is the last time I will ever do business of Moultrie, they do not stand by their products and buyer beware.

Purchased 4 of these. 2 of them failed within the first 5 months. One of the failed cams worked for a few weeks then started taking continuous pictures until the SD card either filled or the batteries ran down. The second developed some sort of image sensor issue on the center lens assembly and one of the flashes for a side also went out, so the cam was basically useless at this point. The remaining 2 cams still work fine but based on personal experience, and the large number of negative reviews calling out several types of issues, the chances of them making it a full year looks slim. Even at the heavily discounted prices the unit(s) are being sold for they are not worth it. They seem to be of such poor quality they are basically a disposable item.We have 2 of the older version (150i) of this cam that have been outside in service for a few years and still work fine so this was very disappointing.

i been a Moultrie guy for several years. I just bought 3 more new ones. A 999i which was questionable at first but has checked out ok. Then i got 2ea 180i models and they both suck. I have them set at low sensitivity and all i get is pictures of weeds and corn stalks moving around. So guess what, I am officially done with Moultrie. My 5 yr old models are still doing great but I'm not spend my money on their stuff anymore. No No. Im going with something else now because this is ridiculous. My older cams don't do that crap so why would the new models. Like a dummy i apparently bought from a third party vendor. Not Prime. That was a mistake also and if I get stuck with these suckers I'll be done with Amazon as well.

I have 6 game cameras that have taken over 3,000 photos of mountain lions, bobcat, fox, deer etc. in a very remote area over a period of three years. I started with the Moultrie 150 and then bought two 150i cameras. I was pleased with the 150 and 150i because they captured more photos than traditional cameras. However, the 150 and 150i have never managed a smooth transition between the cells of the panoramic photo. I get a lot of partial animals. The Covert panoramic (I have two) uses a fish eye lens so there is no fragmenting and the Covert has more pixels. I use solar panels for all the cameras. I have experienced reliability problems with the 150 and 150i which Moultrie claims is formatting, memory card that is too fast, or the wrong battery manufacturer. Maybe, but the Coverts do not have these problems. I can check on the cameras only every 2-4 weeks, so I loose a lot of photos when the camera fails. I have used the 180i for a couple of months and it has been superior to the other cameras. It takes twice the photos, the photos are clearer and, so far, I have not had any reliability problems. I rate the 180i as the best by far, then Covert followed by 150 and 150i. I gave the 180i four stars because is still has some issues with a smooth transition in panoramic photos.

For $99, this 14MB camera is well worth it. Images, for the most part come out great. If the image is too close to the source, i.e. a vehicle driving by, you may see a blurred or merge image. Same with wildlife. Ensure you have enough distance, minimum 20 feet from your desired area of photography. Video were good, though I have used as much. I have a dozen Moultrie game cameras. Most worked great. Some died (due to water leakage) and were replaced withing the 2 year warranty (most withing 6 to 12 months). Other than that, pretty good. BATTERIES - Twelve (12) is a lot, but needed.
