5 out of 5 stars   Buydig promised an M990I (MCG-12596) and actually sent a D900I (MCG-12619) !

Review submitted for Moultrie Game Spy D-990i Game Cam 10.0MP (MOUM990I)
Pros: Even so a very effective camera; We are a commercial user and buy in bulk from the U.S. to Australia. I prefer the one that was advertised in the Buydig online shop M990I (MCG-12596) because it has excellent picture quality, deep and clear night time images with very low power consumption. On the power consumption area, the M990I (MCG-12596) has a battery life of over twelve months on the HD Panasonic LC-RD1217P (17Ah) batteries we use 24x7. We are not sure about the consumption of the later D900I (MCG-12619) yet. Specifically the D900I (MCG-12619) has some nice features compared to the older M990I (MCG-12596) such as a more robust PIN system; Where the unit will not take images or respond to user input unless the PIN is entered correctly; The older / obsolete M990I (MCG-12596) will just power on and work as configured even with a PIN set, however the user cannot alter any menu functions without entering a correct PIN code. The camouflage of the older / obsolete M990I (MCG-12596) was known to fade very pale and to a casual glance it could be easily spotted; Also the fabric mounting strap perished in three months under the hostile Australian Sun; These have been addressed in the later models by Moultrie. We run a range of Moultrie Spy Cameras' for commercial purposes; All weather, 365 and overall very very impressed with their reliability, customer support by Pradco Outdoor, trigger speed and quality of image, make them top value for money. We also only run 12V external power and Python locks on all cameras' with outstanding results; Just be aware of lightning if mounting them near wire on fences as it could take out a camera easily during storm season. The D900I - MCG-12619 reports the same firmware version as the M990I - MCG-12634's we use; So are essentially the same. Our field cameras' are only: M990I - MCG-12596 D900I - MCG-12619 M990I - MCG-12634 M1100I - MCG-12635
Cons: The D900I (MCG-12619) which was shipped in this purchase of four cameras' doesn't have the picture quality of the advertised camera overall; Especially night time images, the older / obsolete M990I (MCG-12596) had deep images at night and its "Motion Freeze" feature gives more clarity and range compared to the later version D900I (MCG-12619). Menu wise the D900I (MCG-12619) is an improvement; Although at first I didn't really like it, now that I am used to it and notice the anti glare display is much easier to see in daylight compared to the older / obsolete M990I (MCG-12596). I'd like Moulrie to build into firmware, International Date conventions for non U.S. use where our date format is DD/MM/YYYY and a configuration tool to enable cloning multiple cameras' with the same settings.
Other Comments: Excellent and impressive camera, having had minimal warranty claims which were all replaced by the dealer in good time (Australian only) we won't be buying any other if the network of units is expanded. Buydig though, should have sent the model listed, but I am not really worried as the D900I is a good unit.

5 out of 5 stars   Great camera with lots of features
August 04, 2014
Review submitted for Moultrie Game Spy D-990i Game Cam 10.0MP (MOUM990I)
Pros: Camera is very clear and captures high quality pictures without IR glare, as some cameras are plagued with. If you set it to record 60 seconds of video with sound then your batteries will go kaput quickly. Nice depth of field--we set the camera to record small animals (neighborhood cats) coming to a feeding station and they are in focus whether close to the camera or some distance away. Camera also auto-adjusts for brightness.
Cons: Not good at recording motion coming towards the camera; only if an animal is passing across the field of view does the camera trigger. This is an inconsequential quibble however.

4 out of 5 stars   Moultrie 990i Game Camera
By JerseyMann on May 03, 2014
Review submitted for Moultrie Game Spy D-990i Game Cam 10.0MP (MOUM990I)
Pros: Great Game Camera. No glow for night pictures. Very easy set up and to program. I like the video feature and use that the most to record 30 seconds of video.
Cons: Night pictures are very gainy. At a distance it may be hard to identify small animals such as a cat, possum, or raccoon.
Other Comments: Great camera for the money. I give the camera 4 stars

By NCM on April 26, 2014

Pros: This camera is easy to setup and operate. The black & white night and color day images are very good.
Cons: None yet
Other Comments: I ordered the same camera previously from BuyDig that was returned because of an audio noise during playback. It was truly a hassle free return policy.

5 out of 5 stars   Excellent for External Home Security
By GeneL on March 30, 2014
Review submitted for Moultrie Game Spy D-990i Game Cam 10.0MP (MOUM990I)
Pros: Excellent pictures, day or night. There are plenty of options for the number of pictures taken when motion is detected. Infrared flash produces excellent nighttime images with no visible flash. Date, time and other information can be printed on each image. Good detection range. The small preview screen makes aiming, programming and reviewing images relatively easy. Easy to change SD cards. Easier to hide and secure than standard security cameras.
Cons: No Cons/Problems to date.
