Can you get a security box to fit this? My previous two Cuddeback cameras were attacked and destroyed by elk. It does not seem to frighten them.

That's funny "attacked by elk" not sure of ready made steel boxes ,you may have to make one your self using a key lock box cutting a hole in it. or put in high up in a tree.aim the cam facing the trail not to the side . to get a sure photo.have fun. later

None. I've taken hundreds of pics of deer and turkeys and never saw where any animals were spooked. Plus I've been next to it when it operates, and can't hear a thing. Very good camera for the price! Hope this helps.

No the cable won't prevent internal access however there is a padlock hasp so you can lock the cover so they can't get to the interior. Anyone who wants to break into the camera or steal it won't be stopped by a cable or padlock. Make sure it is hidden well when mounted.

I just drilled a hole tonight for it... 1" in diameter. Previous cameras I have opened up and removed the plug and wiring from and fed it through the wall from the other side but I didn't attempt that here. For what it's worth, the base plate did cover the entire 1" hole.

Haven't used this box for that....but I definitely wouldn't. Raccoons are actually quite smart about getting things opened and getting into things you don't want them to. You need something with a lock on it, for outside !

Ha! Absolutely true. Cheap items for my dogs are always secure with tons of paper/plastic padding but my electronic purchases are not. I just received my WD TV Live Plus today and there was a single plastic bubble in the box for protection. Not like a strip of plastic bubbles, one bubble! Next time I order electronics I'm gonna make sure to add a 2 dollar bone to ensure a proper packing job. :D

I have the "Unit X Ops" Stealth Cam and the sku number is STC-U838NG and it fits perfectly in this bear box. I am almost positive that our cameras are the same. I highly recommend them as I did not lose one camera this season in NM where we have a high number of bears. The landowner of the ranch lost 3 cameras to bears and he did not have them protected

I don't use lockboxes..they only make the cam stand out more and make it more tempting for any thieves. Place the cam 12+ feet off the ground if you can do it safely aiming downward. Most people aren't looking up when they're walking. Camoflage with native foliage or velcro strips attached to "sneaky leaves" with a staple and the other piece of velcro stuck to the cam. Well camo'd cams on the ground are also good. I recently got a Browning "no glow" cam which makes the cam even less obvious, but the Trail Ranger is a good cam.

My mischievous Min Pin is about 2 pounds of Houdini-like escapist and she can't get out. She can get a foot, or her muzzle out in the space between the hood and basket opening, where the zipper joins them, but that's all. I'm afraid your surprise will be outed by the box, as there's a picture and verbiage on it.

I have taken down a 240lb White Tail Buck with this , But I used Barnet Bolts !! I think you can take down a Elk with a close up shot ??

I have a huge raccoon problem and they have not gone in the box. I do not however keep anything in there that they want (pool toys, floats etc.) The top is most likely too heavy for them to lift and the plastic is thick enough that they won't chew through (they eat through our garbage cans). There is also a spot for a lock and I am sure this would keep them out for sure. I do have the Suncast decorative garbage holder and they have not gotten into there.

Yes any wildgame innovations camera shaped like an axe 3 or axe 2 or 4mp this shape only will fit this box I have three and they are great.

I would suggest you get a lock box from cam loc box for your camera, along with a cable lock. This is to big of an investment not to. And I have used Cam Loc Boxes for many years and for me they are the best you can buy.

Yes. The one I installed next to a IP camera gets triggered by (as verified by the camera) rackcoons, deer, and once in a while a squirrel.

The camera fits loosely inside the safe. It does not require securing it in any way. Hope this helps.

The point is to hide the receiver box near by....and there really is not way to lock it unless you enclose it in some sort of box. My receive box is stashed in a bush about 10 yards from my camera to ensure the box is in range and receive the pics. Even with the "new" improved model...I still found the distance to be very disappointing....15 yards in the woods was the max distance...but it is still useful against theft if hidden near by.
