Moultrie M-888i (MCG-13068) Details

The Moultrie M-888i digital game camera offers a versatile user experience through its intuitive interface and distinct operational modes. Users can quickly set up the camera using the Quick Start mode, which applies factory default settings, allowing only for date and time adjustments. For more granular control, the Custom Start mode provides access to a comprehensive menu map, enabling users to tailor every setting to their specific scouting needs. The Aim mode is particularly useful during setup, activating the red LED status indicator to visually confirm the motion detection area, ensuring optimal camera placement.

Beyond basic capture, the M-888i features advanced imaging capabilities designed to enhance surveillance. The Multi-Shot setting allows for various capture sequences, including a single photo, 3 BURST (three rapidly captured photos within one second, limited to 4MP), or 3 TRIGGERED (up to three photos with a one-second delay between captures, each requiring a separate trigger). This flexibility helps capture more comprehensive event data. For clearer night imagery, the Motion Freeze feature optimizes exposure time, reducing blur associated with subject movement while also boosting brightness and overall clarity in low-light conditions.

Efficient memory management and security are also key aspects of the M-888i. The Managed Memory option gives users control over how the SD card handles capacity limits; it can either overwrite the oldest files to continue capturing new images or cease capture once the card is full. For safeguarding camera settings and data, a 5-digit Security Code can be set, preventing unauthorized access. Users are advised to remember this code, as a lost code may require customer support intervention, potentially incurring charges.

The camera's power versatility is noteworthy, offering both battery operation and external power options. While powered by 8 AA batteries, an External Power Port allows connection to Moultrie-specific accessories such as the PowerPanel, AC Adapter, or Battery Box, extending field life significantly. The "AC Connected" system option, when enabled with an external power supply, keeps the camera active, eliminating sleep states between captures for improved speed and performance. Using non-Moultrie power sources will void the product warranty.

Data retrieval and viewing are made convenient with multiple options. Images and videos can be accessed directly by removing the SD card and inserting it into a compatible reader or external device. Alternatively, the camera can be connected to a PC (Windows XP/Vista/7 or Mac OS X 10.1 and higher) via a Micro-B to USB cable, functioning as a removable drive for easy file transfer. This ensures that users can quickly review their captured content whether in the field or at home.

The M-888i also integrates with the broader Moultrie ecosystem, notably being compatible with Moultrie Mobile® cellular service when paired with the Field Modem MV1. This connectivity allows for remote monitoring and data transmission, though a camera firmware update might be necessary for full functionality. The camera is built to withstand outdoor conditions and comes with a 2-year limited warranty, reinforcing its reliability for long-term use in game scouting and surveillance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Moultrie M-888i (MCG-13068), and we answer them below.


What type of batteries does the Moultrie M-888i use?
The Moultrie M-888i requires eight (8) AA size alkaline or lithium batteries. It is recommended to use Energizer brand batteries and to replace all batteries at the same time.

What kind of SD card is compatible with this camera?
The camera supports external SD memory cards up to 32GB (Class 4 or higher). A Class 4 or higher SD card must be installed for the camera to operate.

How can I view the photos and videos captured by the camera?
You can view images by removing the SD card and inserting it into a card reader or external player. Alternatively, you can connect the camera directly to a PC (Windows XP/Vista/7 or Mac OS X 10.1+) using a Micro-B to USB cable; the camera will appear as a removable drive.

Can I use an external power source with my M-888i?
Yes, the camera has an external power port that accepts only Moultrie PowerPanel, Moultrie AC Adapter, or Moultrie Battery Box accessories (sold separately). Using any other power source will void your warranty.

What are the primary capture modes available on the M-888i?
The camera features three main capture modes: Motion Detect (triggers on motion), Time Lapse (captures photos at periodic intervals), and Motion + Time Lapse (combines both modes at different times).

What is the 'Motion Freeze' feature?
Motion Freeze is a setting that maximizes image clarity during night photos. When ON, the camera adjusts exposure time to reduce motion blur and increases brightness and clarity.

How does the 'Managed Memory' option work?
The Managed Memory setting allows you to choose between two options: OVERWRITE OLDEST, which replaces the oldest files when the SD card is full, or DO NOT OVERWRITE, which stops image capture once the card reaches capacity.

Is there a way to secure my camera settings from unauthorized changes?
Yes, you can set a 5-digit Security Code in the system options to protect your camera settings. If the code is lost, Moultrie customer support may be able to help reset it (charges may apply).

Is the Moultrie M-888i compatible with Moultrie Mobile cellular service?
Yes, the camera is compatible with Moultrie Mobile® cellular service when combined with the Field Modem MV1. A camera firmware update may be required for full functionality.

What is the purpose of 'PIR Sensitivity' in Motion Detect mode?
PIR Sensitivity controls the distance and amount of movement required to trigger the camera. HIGH sensitivity allows for greater distance but can lead to more false triggers, ideal for open areas. LOW sensitivity shortens the range and reduces false triggers, suitable for close-range or wooded areas.

How do I format my SD card using the camera?
You can format your SD card by navigating to the Memory Options menu and selecting ERASE ALL IMAGES. Choosing "Yes" will not only erase all images but also format the SD card for optimal use with the camera.

What is the maximum video length for night videos?
Night videos captured by the Moultrie M-888i are limited to a maximum length of 30 seconds, even if a longer video length is selected for daytime captures.

Can I upgrade the camera's firmware myself?
Yes, the camera has an Upgrade Firmware option, but this operation should only be performed when prompted by a Moultrie technician to ensure proper functionality and avoid issues.
