Cold Weather and a Trail Camera

[JeffK-MN]

I have a wildview digital trail camera with 4 c batterys.
How long do most of you leave your camera out in the cold and how cold is too cold to have it out?

I live in Minnesota and it has been down to -23f without wind chill already this year. I want to find out what is left for deer after all the hunting is over on my land.
Thanks Jeff

What model do you have? I have a Wildview E-Z Cam and the manual for mine gives an operating temperature range of 14 to 104 F. I've had mine out in a little colder temps than that this fall (I think the coldest night we've had so far has been 7) and it worked fine. At -23 your batteries probably wouldn't last long at all. I would look at your manual or check with Wildview before using it in temps like you have up there.
