Weather Proof
- Water and Cold Weather, NO PROBLEM!
December 2008: Mike – I live in ND and it has been quite cold. Temps ranging from +20 to -10. I have taken 350 pics in that time, and the camera seems to be operating flawlessly!! I am using 8 AA baterries, and when I changed the card today, the batteries seemed to be fine yet!!
December 2008: bgbk-8 – The last couple weeks my SG550 has been working quite well between 0 F and 35 F. I've probably taken ~1200 pics in the last couple weeks and have not had any issues to date. My Moultrie I40 on the other hand just quit working when temps got down in the single digits and the battery life was still at about 45 - 50%. So, the SG550 is out performing my Moultire once again...
Jan 2009: skullwerx – I live in minnesota. I bought my scoutguard in august and it has been out since, on ONE set of batteries!!! There has been maybe a total of 2 total weeks in that time frame when it has not been in the woods. The temps have ranged from 80 degress farenheit to -20. The last month and a half it hasn't been above 20 with lows often below zero. I want to say again all on ONE set of batteries, very impressive!!! I have nothing but great things to say about these cams...
June 2008, HCO SG550 during a downpour, not a drop of water to be found afterwards! – The cam was strapped to a tree in my yard...no cover or box just strapped to a tree...it was raining sideways and the unit was dry inside the cover.

Ohio , August 2008 - My 1st HCO Scout Guard SG550 has gone thru numerous heavy downpours with no special protection since I got it with no problems!
August 2008 - I purchased my first (green) HCO SG550 cam 3 weeks ago. Over a thousand stills and hundreds of videos during three heavy rains and this little cam still works great. Bought two more HCO SG550 (camo) last week, put them out on a quick trip to KS, checked their cards after one night and had good pics on both. My hunting buddy in KS would not let me bring them home. Now they are his. Picked up two more (camo) yesterday and they will go out tomorrow. I wish I could afford a dozen but . . . I have experience with several home brews, the moultrie I40, and the SG. Zero issues with the HCO SG550!
