Conclusion
This camera is along the same lines as the Bushnell Trophy Cam, Scoutguard SG550 and DLC Covert 1 with its very small size. This game camera is roughly the size of your hand, if not smaller. The two main benefits I can see from being so small, is it is much easier to conceal from thieves and it is super battery efficient. In fact, on 8 AA batteries you can expect this camera to last almost a full season out in the field.
I found that programming the camera was a breeze. The Duck Lick Creek Covert 2 comes with a remote (same remote as the Scoutguard and DLC cameras) that plugs into the bottom of the camera. Follow the prompts as it takes you through all the programming options (which I found was just the right amount of options not to confuse the user). One important note on this camera is that it has a very quick recovery time. Essentially, when the camera takes a picture it takes 10 seconds for the trigger to go off, take a picture, store the picture, and then recover to take the next picture (6 seconds if you set the camera for a lower Mpxl). Compared to cameras in this same price range, the Covert I is VERY QUICK! You can set the time between triggers anywhere from 6 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, etc.
You can also take up to 60 seconds video. The video quality is 16 fps. It is decent video but not compared to the 30 fps quality of a camera like the Leaf River IR-5.
One concern I have with this camera is that the only way to lock this camera is to buy the case. You can't just lock it with a python lock only, it needs the security case as well. It would also be nice if the camera would have an added 20 ft. detection range and a better quality night photo.
