jayjay 264 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 have a look on Aldi website, they got one there going on sale on the 27th, £69.99, I do believe it will connect to your mobile phone and send pics back to that as well, I don't know anything about them or which ones are good or bad, but its worth a look mate...... all the best jay Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can even text it to take a pic and send you that at any time. Clever little things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 32,399 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 I use these mate, work a treat am on my second or third year with some of them and still not had a prob https://www.amazon.co.uk/DIGITNOW-Waterproof-Wildlife-Surveillance-Detection-Camouflage/dp/B078K7GGGX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,686 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) I have a couple, an Acorn one and a cheapie I got off flea bay. The ‘IR’ light on the Acorn one isn’t visible (think it’s called no-glow), whereas the other one is visible. Depending on where she intends using it this might be the difference between it getting noticed and nicked and it not. Again I would think Greyman could advise on this. G???
