Hello Kenny,

As you have probably seen there are loads of trail cameras with different levels of sophistication. The only one I can comment on is the Bushnell model 119446 which I've used for about a year.

The only drawbacks I have found, and these are very minor, are a couple of the claims seems a bit exaggerated - the night time illumination is claimed to be to 45 feet. I don't think anything at 45 feet in my night videos is visible and the claim that one set of batteries could last a year appears way over the top. However, these are not significant.

The camera works well, eg. it picks up a mouse but in most situation is not triggered by moving leaves. The quality of the video (I have not tried the still option) isn't great but good enough for what I want -ie just to see what is around.

These are a couple of stills from the videos

I got mine from Uttings Outdoors, but they seem to be sold everywhere..

Sorry I can't give any more info, hopefully others, with other cameras, will be along to give their views.

I heard someone say that the Bushnell models take good clear shots.
I took delivery of an LTL Acorn 12 MP one on Friday. It is quite small and has cammo casing.
I'll start by trying it in the garden with the aim of mounting it in woodland overnight. It records onto an SD card and has long battery life.

One thing to look out for is the type of LEDS used for the infrared illumination. I found out about that when researching these cameras. Some use LEDS that are visible to the human eye which is no good for covert use. Others use LEDS that are invisible to humans and animals.
