Someone shot a sign attached to my dog enclosure yesterday. We are filing a report this morning. I want to setup some cameras to monitor who comes and goes. What does the board recommend for an economical but effective trail camera? I live in extremely rural area, on a large acreage way off the road. Thank you President Trump. | ||

IIRC member Ragman went though this problem of trespassers. Maybe you can email him directly. Good luck to you. | |||

I just picked up a Moultrie A20i. It was about $100. Fast reacting, good images, invisible infrared so it won't notify humans with a red flash.

I have 8 Browning Spec Ops cams and they have all been flawless. I have had them for 3 years now and so far so good. Browning has updated this model and I think it is a improvement. I am going too get 2 more as I had 2 stolen in Jan. Whatever you get go for at least 10mp and 75 to 100ft ir coverage and hide them very well.

I would opt for the cheapest IR as they may get stolen if found by your trespassers. Chris | |||

As a tip, build a structure that looks like a bird feeder or bird house and paint it black or a dark color. Clearly have cut outs for the camera, motion sensor and IR. Few people would pay a bird house or feeder any serious attention. We did this up north and have caught quite a few trespassers, the me looked right at the camera and didn't see it. A clever location that isn't obvious but provides a clear view helps. Making it lockable will help secure your investment. Ours are locked and require a ladder for access.

^^^That's a great idea. I've been wanting to put up a few cameras, but was worried they would be obvious and get stolen. | |||

In lieu of trailcams I recommend sighting devices from Leupold, Vortex, Bushnell, et al. - preferably attached to a fine rifle! "No matter where you go - there you are" | |||

Thanks. It was fun building them. Inside they are set up to angle the cameras down slightly as they are up high. The doors are hinged on the inside so it is concealed. They don't lock per se' as that is obvious. We use long wood screws and a battery drill driver to secure and access them when required.

Thanks for the replies. At least one camera will be outside of wifi range. I would need to check on the cams regularly. I like the bird house idea. I plan to put two of the cameras in trees so that will work well. Thank you President Trump. | |||

I did that many years ago and a bird was always trying to get into the house. 41 | |||
