Trail camera advice

[LeadFarmer]

Haven't set it up yet to take videos, but I'll try and do that tomorrow.
I have the photo quality set too medium, so I'll change that to a higher quality image.
I only have one night photo which was of the cat revisiting. I think I need to adjust the sensitivity to capture more activity, I currently have it on 'medium'? I think?? so I shall increase the sensitivity.

One thing Ive noticed is a difficulty when positioning the camera. It has an LCD screen on the front that has live view when you turn it on. So you end up positioning the camera where you think is right, then stick your ugly face in front of the camera to check the screen, but all you see is your ugly face!!!

A screen on the rear. would solve this, but then the camera is going to be strapped to a post or tree so you still wouldn't see it. This must be an issue on all trail cams that have screens?

Mine has Wifi so I can connect phone app for a live view - it is very handy.

Bit of a bump to an older thread.

We have a few hedgehogs roaming about, and have put in a couple of houses for them.

What is the go to trail camera these days?

I’d be interested in this also. Spotted a Roe Deer the other day which seem to be having a party at night judging by the state of some of the grass !
