Absolute pot luck on a trailcam

What was the cam that constantly took pics Greyman?

I have all different ones from Brownings down to the cheap Chinese ones but it happens on them all, it’s not that the cameras go off but often things that trigger them are moving to fast to be captured, or they are to small and not what you want so birds flying past will trigger but are usually gone by the time the pictures taking likewise moths bats or leaves, I also run my cameras on video which trigggers slower than stills though some of the newer Chinese ones do a photo followed by a video, it’s much easier to see your subject when it’s moving I think and if I,m ever lucky enough to get a good clear shot it will be easier to confirm if it’s moving ?

I thought you mentioned a cam that instead of being motion triggered it took constant pics, say one every 5 seconds (on another thread?) Greyman. I may have got the wrong idea though.

Well now I feel totally inadequate with pics like that going around.

It’s a growing obsession mate, I started with one camera in 2015 as a gift, taking pics of a fox in my garden, now I spend half my time running round swapping battery,s and SD cards and liaising with biologists, farmers and keepers, I,m looking for a big predator so finding routes used by its dinner is a good start ????
