Trail Cam Security Box

[BigMoqui]

After Having my first cam I set out messed with by the bears, and archery season coming soon, I really wanted a better way to lock up my camera. Recently my dad replaced his mailbox with a locking one after having problems with mail theft at his neighborhood in Tempe.

 

Now before anyone calls me out, these locking mailboxes are in no way as strong as some of the homemade boxes that people have shown recently on this site, but they are steel and you can do a little extra work on them to get them more secure. Besides the guys who made their own didn't sound to keen on making anyone else one.

 

Anyway for 22$ at the Hardware store, plus the cost of a couple pad locks and lag bolts, you can make your own. The box has a locking lid, but I drilled holes through the top and also holes in the sides at the very top next to the holes in the lid(on each corner) and a master lock will slide through these. I then used a cut off wheel and my dremol(sp.) to cut a large square hole in the face of the box for the flash, IR sensor, lens, etc. If you don't have a cut of wheel you could just use some large diameter drill bits(my flash is square but the Ir sensor and the lens are round). Lastly, I drilled three holes through the back to lag it to the tree. This box is 12" x 9 1/2" x 3 1/2" and it comes in white, I just spray painted it matte black.

 

Like I said before it's not the best box, but for a grand total of about 35$ you can make it a little more secure. I hope this helps some of you guys who are having security problems.
