Bell + Howell IR Camera





Bell + Howell IR Camera



I've talked earlier about the Moultrie IR Game Camera, and its capabilities in the field. But now it's the Bell + Howell IR Camera, it is a compact, handheld, IR/normal spectrum hybrid. With just the flip of a switch, you can go from regular photography to night vision. It runs on a lithium ion battery so there's no changing of batteries, which most ghost hunters find as a big plus. The battery doesn't last too long on IR vision, but it definitely goes for longer than most cameras that run on regular batteries. The image quality is also not very top notch, but when it comes to ease of use, the Bell + Howell sure beats out the Moultrie Game Camera, if you're willing to give up a few extra perks that you can find in other cameras. My recommendation would be to use a tripod to help fix the image quality problem, and don't leave it on too long at a time to save the battery. It may not have to IR power that the Moultrie Camera does, but this one has a view screen, which is a big thing that the Moultrie Camera does not have. I would also recommend an IR light to attach to it, the six IR lights have just aren't enough in most situations. It can work in tight, indoor spaces pretty well, but for outdoors this camera is useless, even with the attached light, you can't get much distance in IR mode. I got mine for only $80 on Amazon, so for the money, it's a good camera.
