I love it when a plan comes together.

That's a great shot. I wonder if I should look into a trail camera...

They are marketed under several different brand names but all seem very similar; badge engineered as it were. Given the wide variety of wildlife you are lucky to have, I think that you'd find it a rewarding investment. Just out of interest, have the tariffs on Chinese imports started to bite yet? An early decision to buy might well pay off!

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

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.

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.

 Actually yes. They are cheap, reliable and easy to use. Mine is a C Cell glutton, so think about rechargeable batteries. |

I'm pretty sure I saw Stephen Douglas delivering a sermon while I was brush hogging the power-line this afternoon. He made me for a Lincoln man though, dropped down on all fours, and skedaddled.

Here is an OK video about the cam I have used for maybe ten years.
I think they are discontinued, but there may be new models, including infra-red. $40 is about average used and probably a good introduction to the sport of sneaky cams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvUmI1tmiPY |
