6. Background and History Trail cameras have been around for a long time. What began as a scouting tool for me has evolved into much more. Initially, I owned a first generation Stealth 35mm unit. The unreliability, weak construction and the costly venture of developing rolls of film were less than desirable. I learned of homemade trail cameras in December, 2006 and have since made over 50 units. I now use my cameras for more than just scouting for that trophy buck. I capture high quality images of our wildlife. From this experience has evolved CAMTRAP. A company offering top quality trail cameras and a commitment to keep our customers satisfied as our Mission Statement reflects.
