Trailcam??

[GBW]

Not sure how good this one is but I got it to hopefully get anyone caught on camera if they break into my car and or garage.  My one question is how far away does the object have to be for it to turn on and take pic's/video?  I set it up last night and walked by it close and no pic's taken when I looked today.  All my test where I would walk to the lake from the camera area it picked me up 1/2 way down to the lake BUT it didn't pick me up on the way back up!!!  Bad unit sensor?  Here is the unit info: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07SB4L93M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not sure of that unit G, but Terry I am sure, can help you with what you need. Hell,he was watching his house when we were out in his boat.

This one sadly doesn't connect via Wi-Fi.  And setting it up in the house against the 2 pane window doesn't work well due to glare...  Ugh... Might need to buy something else.

Did you use the "aim" function for the location. I have a couple up at camp that were pretty finicky to get aimed correctly but are working nice at detecting rift raf now !

it lights don’t like glass. You pretty much have to have it out side. 
you can buy a WiFi security  fairly cheap. It can record to a card or to a computer

I don't know where that would be.  All it has is an on/off switch, micro SD slot, usb port and a spot for the batteries.

I find that an object (crook) coming straight at the camera is less likely to get picked up than an object going across from left to right or other way.
