Trail Cams

[Fishnwire]

I was thinking about buying a trail cam this spring and putting it in the yard of camp, pointed at the building and trail. I'm interested to see what wildlife comes into the yard but also I want to use it for security purposes. I haven't had any problems but my closest neighbor has had issues with theft and even vandalism. If anyone comes on the property I'd like to have a picture of them and their quads in the act.

 

I know nothing about those trail cams. Do they make noise or emit a flash when they take pictures? I need something that won't draw any attention to itself, or I risk losing the camera as well as whatever else is laying around.

There are ones with infrared flashes that I dont think are visable when they go off. There isnt a noise at all.

i have a moultrie 5mp inafred. it makes no noise at all and emits no light when it takes pics. as long as you can hide and secure the camera good enough nobody will have a clue its there. the model i have also takes quality video clips...possibly best for your uses
