It looks like they start around $40 American. Which features matter?

Definition and range. Common specs are 12MP and 1080p.

You can drop the definition right down in steps on mine which is helpful if you wish to conserve battery power but at the bottom end of the scale it's more for gathering evidence of what might be raiding your vegetable patch overnight than serious observation.

Range on mine is said to be up to 65ft and I've no reason to dispute that, in fact it might be a little more.

As mentioned earlier, most examples seem to be 'badge engineered' and will have the ability to vary sensitivity and the number of photos taken at a particular activation.

I tend to keep my camera set on the highest definition and sensitivity which can result in excess of a hundred photos overnight.

If you can place the camera in a convenient position vis a vis a mains electricity supply, it might be worth your while buying a plug in power unit.

Check to see if your chosen model has the necessary socket before you commit $ to the ether.

That's all I can think of at the minute but please feel free to ask if there's anything else I can help you with.


BTW The manual, as is to be expected, is a bit of a puzzle but operating the unit is pretty much intuitive.

One more thing. You'll probably have to buy a memory card separately.

Just make sure to get one w/the invisible flash.

And a cable lock. In case you have unknown two-legged wildlife coming through the rye.

If you're a pawn shopper, you can find them dirt cheap occasionally.

If ya want to spend the money, they can send the pics/vids to your cell phone. By bluetooth, or cell signal.

We seem to be well supplied with foxes at the moment.
My neighbour had a vixen and four cubs on her back lawn very early one morning last week and we had the latest in a series of visits from this vixen plus her two well grown cubs last night.
I just wonder where they all go during the day.
