Digital 'Trail Cameras'

[doo_much]

Have to admit I'm clueless when it comes to 'the wild' so advice will be appreciated.

I need to supply Trail Cameras such as these from Bushnell.



Has anyone ever used anything like this, what other brands are available, where do I get them from and any advice on 'best practices' in their use?

elo Oom! Thanks for the PM, sorry I didn't see this thread!

We used these for tracking the local Leopard population in the Lions River area. However I resigned from the team pretty early to focus more time on my business. I would have to speak to them with any questions you have.

I can say that ours was donated by other Leopard projects around South Africa and that setting them up depends what you want to catch on film.

I will speak to them for you

Dankie neef!

Any help will be appreciated. I've since found a distributor for a number of brands in Pretoria.
Problem is I have no means of ascertaining whether his is sales talk or sound advice.

I don't know that much about them. I know they have motion sensors so they have to be placed at the level of movement. I believe they are protcted for certain weather conditions but you will have to check on that. I have only seen ones that are work with a flash at night but that scares the game away one would guess.

If you need them for night shots - I have heard of infra-red ones. More expensive though.
