Moultrie M-880i Game Camera (2014 Model)

The M-880i is a Moultrie game camera for capturing digital images of deer and other wild game on your land or hunting camp. Ruggedly designed for peak performance under even the harshest outdoor conditions, the M-880i is the ideal choice for the seasoned game manager who’s always in pursuit of the definitive edge over that ever-elusive trophy buck. Whether day or night; field or forest; winter, spring, summer or fall; the M-880i stealthily gathers invaluable field intelligence that gives you the wisdom, confidence and certainty that managing big game requires. There’s a powerful force quietly capturing everything that moves on your land : the Moultrie M-880i.

Invisibility

Equipped with Moultrie’s advanced 70-foot NO-GLOW infrared flash technology and powerfully hidden by Mossy Oak® Bottomland camouflage, the M-880i is nearly invisible, detecting any and all prey within 50 feet – day or night – and still providing the high-quality imagery that today’s game manager needs.

Utility camera

With just the right mix of features and benefits, the M-880i is one of Moultrie’s most popular all-around game cameras. Not too simple, not too complicated, the M-880i comes equipped with a simple, easy-to-use menu system on a 2-line LCD screen. And with ample photo, video, and time lapse settings, you can gather all the intel you need on your property to know just what kind of game is out there.

OPERATIONAL MODES

MOTION DETECTION

The M-880i employs a passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor that’s triggered by heat and movement within 50 feet.

MOTION DETECT DELAY

Delay is a low-power “sleep” state entered after image capture. Longer delays extend battery life and limit the images recorded in high-traffic situations (e. g. – on a very busy game feeder). The camera can be set for 5, 10, or 30 second delays as well as 1, 5, 10, or 30 minute delays.

MULTI-SHOT MODE

When using the Delay function, multi-shot mode allows the camera to record multiple photos between set delay increments. “Triggered” multi-shot (3 photos) requires a motion trigger for each photo. “Burst” multi-shot takes 3 photos quickly after a single motion trigger.

TIMELAPSE MODE

Time lapse mode disables the PIR sensor and instead triggers the camera through a countdown timer that can be set for up to 2 different time lapse captures per day.

TIMELAPSE INTERVAL

In this setting, you can set an adjustable interval between each image capture. Use longer intervals for slower changing subjects and shorter intervals for faster changing subjects. The M-880i allows for 13 different interval settings, lasting from as little as 10 seconds to as long as 24 hours.

HYBRID MODE

The camera can be triggered by both its passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor and a time lapse program.

TRIGGER SPEED

The M-880i resets rapidly after image capture, taking only 1 second after a motion trigger until the camera is fully ready to detect motion and capture more.

INTERFACE

The camera display is an easy to navigate LCD screen with 2 lines of 16-characters. The other buttons on the front of the display panel are backlit for ease of viewing during low-light conditions.

NIGHT OPERATION

NIGHT ILLUMINATION

The flash is equipped with 32 Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights. This 940nm NO-GLOW LED technology is essentially invisible and can illuminate game up to 70 feet away in total darkness.

MOTION FREEZE / EXTENDED FLASH

For night-time operation of the camera, you can select between reduced motion blur or extended flash range to maximize image clarity and visibility.

POWER

BATTERIES & BATTERY LIFE

MANAGED MEMORY

When set to “Overwrite Oldest,” the M-880i will erase the oldest photos and videos to create free space for new photos and videos when the memory card is at full capacity.
