Wildlife / Trail cameras

[55palfers]

I've been fancying one of these to see what critters come into my garden each evening.

Pricing from as little as £25 upwards.

Anyone got any recommendations please?

I have had this Ltl Acorn for a couple of years and it works pretty well. The only caveat is it is fussy about the batteries you use. If you set it to record video at night the LED illuminators seem to drag the battery voltage down to the point that videos are often aborted. For stillS it is very good and videos in daylight.

Because I use NiMh rechargeable cells they start at 1.2v. Alkaline cells would be 1.5v and may well hold up better.

The Wildlife Services Forum has a camera section that could be worth reading.

Wildlife branded cameras tend to be overpriced.
Maybe just look at a battery powered weatherproof wifi cam if it is just for your garden. Something like the Blink XT2.
