Anyone used this camera for night time "scouting"?

A family member is having trouble with night time trespassers on their property and my thought was to put one of these out to get some idea of who or how many there are.

They aren't deer, but I don't think the camera will care.

I've honestly thought about it at my house, but I haven't really put a whole lot of thinking into it. I thought about it when my home was broke into a couple years ago!

Any trail camera would work, however, if you want to use it to help a case in court, I would go with the highest resolution camera you can get. I'm sure there are at least 8MP trail cameras out there and that would help - especially if the people are far away and you need to enlarge the image.

Also, keep it very well hidden. Many trespassers who realize they've just had their picture taken will steal/break/etc the camera in order to maintain their anonymity.

I have one, but have a few other Primos cameras. The moultrie is a big POS. Trigger time is too slow, most of the pics are blurry where a deer is raising or lowering its head, or it just captures the hind of the deer as it walks past.

For a budget camera look into a Primos 35.
