Moultrie Camera Security Box


Moultrie Security Box
My camera is secure now. I love my GameSpyi60 camera and had it out there for anyone to take. Now that has all changed. The box is great.
There are two options:
1) You can mount the box directly to a tree. It comes with the screws and you should probably buy a better lock than what comes with it. (like the Titanium Series Reinforced (Masterlock Product 185D)
2) (This is the option I chose) Buy the swivel attachment, which gives much more flexibility of pointing the camera around). With this option the swivel mount comes with an extra backing that is part of this security box. So you will have an extra. Going this route I have used a python lock which wraps around the tree and my hack saw resistent lock to secure it.
I guess the bottom line here is that you will need extra accessories with option 2 if you truly want it secure or close to as secure as you can get.
I used the heavier duty masterlock python since I had a bigger tree to put it on. And...
It's a universal box...so don't expect a custom fit. Throw lock and cable away upon arrival.
The first thing I want on record is that this is a universal box...so if you're looking for a custom fit, you will be sorely disappointed. I purchased this for a Moultrie I-40 trail camera and I experienced what many other did. The camera didn't sit right in the box and the camera box doesn't come with parts to tailor the box to the camera being protected. To get a custom fit, I went to a local auto parts store and found two auto trim panel retainers to stick into the box from the back and the hollow legs of the camera fit right into the retainers. Then I went to a hardware store and purchased a brass bolt, some washers, and some spacers. I removed the vertical adjustment knob, drilled a hole in the box to line up with the threads of where the vertical adjustment knob was, and with the brass bolt, spacers, and washers, secured the top of the camera to the box. Then I ran the strap that came with the camera through the cut-outs in the back of the box and the camera fits in the...
Trail Cam Security
The moultrie security box is exactly that! I feel confident that my trail camera will be there every time I go to it. The metal is quality and protected by a quality paint-job. The only thing I recommend is an additional heafty lock, or Master Lock Python.
