LIVRAISON RAPIDE ET METAL DE TRES BONNE QUALITE

First went to use out security cover and when camera is installed then you put outer cover on it breaks antenna after that it doesn't work and camera is 250 miles away so it's kinda hard to get it. No instructions on how to install at all.

This box is only for the Flex series cameras from SpyPoint.I have used trail cameras for over 10 years. In that time I have had once stolen by a trespasser that saw one in a tree and took it. This trail camera box is designed to prevent that. It is made of heavy gauge steel. It provides for multiple mounting methods including screw holes to mount directly to a tree. Another reviewer noted that these are small holes, so they won't accommodate large lag bolts unless you drill the holes larger. You can use it with a padlock front lock or a cable lock that slides through side holes in the box (but not aligned with the camera holes.Mounting the camera is pretty straight forward. You slide it into the rear half, and then slide the front half over the front of the camera into the rear of the box. It does leave the lens and sensor exposed on the front. It also leaves the antenna exposed which is kind of necessary for a cellular camera to work.It is worth noting that no instructions are included, so you need to improvise the mounting method you choose.I have never used one of these, but I will give it a try. If a criminal wants to steal your camera, they can still resort to smashing it inside the box through the holes in the front and breaking off the antenna. Since these are cellular cameras, hopefully a photo has already been transmitted before any damage is inflicted.

I really should have gotten the right size for my expensive trail cam. This one does fit my cheaper Walmart camera, so I can use it and didn't have to send it back. This thing is really heavy duty. If it is screwed straight into a tree or post, something or somebody will have to put a lot of effort into pulling this camera down. However, I would have liked it to have come with a locking system, because the safety of the camera will only be a secure as the lock you use to keep the compartment locked. If someone has lock cutters, they will still be able to steal the camera. Good idea though. I think it is enough to keep the hoodlums around here at bay.

The camera itself has the ability to use a python cable, but with this no one can steal your SD cards or shut the camera off on you. Yes, I have had this happen on public land.
