Stealth Cam Trail Camera Reviews
In this article I focus on Stealth Cam trail camera reviews and in particular the latest trail camera models available.
GSM Outdoors who make the Stealth Cam range of trail cameras have been around for 15 years and have a long reputation for designing great trail cams.
They have always had a slightly different approach to how a trail camera should be set up and operate compared to other popular trail cam brands.
This is no bad thing as some of their innovations in trail camera development have really helped in progressing the trail cam world as a whole.
2020 has been a busy year for Stealth Cam, bringing a range of new game cameras and some important updates to some of the older models in the range.
If you decide on Stealth Cam [1] as your next brand of trail camera then hopefully this guide will help you.

Stealth Cam G45NGX
The G45NGX is based in the “mid range” bracket of the Stealth Cam range. It has a higher overall spec than the previous camera in this review to match the additional price point.
This trail cam comes packed with all the latest innovations. Advanced low light sensitivity, blur reduction technology and of course the tried and trusted TRIAD 3 in 1 system for quick and easy setup.
I’ve had my Stealth Cam G42NG for some time and it’s still my go to trail cam if I need to set up quickly. using the Triad 3 in 1 system allows me to do that. It’s a great way to set up a trail camera, and is ideal for folk that don’t want to get bogged down with too many setting changes.
The camera specification is 22 MP, along with 45 No Glow IR emitters for night time illumination. These are impressive figures for a camera under 200 bucks.
Batteries and external power
Power is provided by 8 x AA batteries, plus there is a 12-Volt external power jack. Battery life is reported to be better than average for a trail cam which is under fairly regular use. Expect to see around 6 months operation from one set of AA batteries.
Specification and performance
Video is recorded at full 1080p HD. The night time pictures due to the powerful IR emitters are excellent quality.
The detection circuit is very good for this level of trail camera. Detection range is around 70 feet and the trigger speed is sub 0.5 seconds.

Summary
The G45NGX performs well for a mid range trail camera. The stand out feature is the quality of the night time pictures.
It comes in a very durable, solid case design along with a very good battery operating life.
If your looking for a mid range trail camera and don’t want to spend over $200 then this is a great choice.
I’d say the TRIAD quick set up is aimed at people who don’t want to spend ages setting the camera up. So in this instance, you just select one of the 3 options via the physical switch and leave it to capture images. It’s that simple.

Stealth Cam PX Pro 36NGK
The PX Pro is ideal for those who don’t want to spend too long with settings in the trail camera.
Stealth Cam have added the “Quick Set” programme settings to this trail camera. There’s 6 settings to choose from. $ photo settings and 2 video settings.
Some may think that this is fairly limited but in practice the 6 settings do cover a lot of instances.
Detection Range
The detection circuit is fairly decent for a trail camera at this price point but it’s not ground breaking. The camera has a detection range up to 80 feet and trigger speed of 0.6 seconds. Which is a little disappointing in my opinion.
Picture Quality
Although this camera is advertised with a 20 megapixel image sensor, the pictures are pretty average. The night pictures are not the best, They lack sharpness.
Specification
- 2o Megapixel sensor
- 0.6 Second Trigger Speed
- 80 FT Detection Range
- 720P HD Video
- Time lapse mode
- 36 NO GLO IR Emitters
- Burst Mode 1-3 images per trigger
- 5-120 sec recovery
- Time / Date / Moon Phase / Name Stamp
- Burst Mode 1-9 images per trigger
- 8 x AA batteries
Easy set up
Low price point
Average image quality
Summary
It has to be said the PX Pro 36NG is not the greatest trail camera out there.
I’d suggest taking a look at the 45NGX in Stealth Cams range instead. In my view this is one trail camera to avoid unless you’re an avid fan of Stealth Cam.
- Hunting game & trail cameras
- Versatile top of the line
- Another quality product
