Thread: Trail Cams

Yes remember there are two very different types of camera, although some do both.

-Timelapse cameras automagically trigger every few seconds and work well to monitor large open spaces where animals won't trigger a trail cam. I get thousands of photos per day and use GoPro Studio to play them as a movie and pick out the interesting shots. I get about 6 weeks of continuous shooting on Primos DPS, which fills up a 32GB card.

-Trail cams are mostly triggered by heat from animals passing close by. These only shoot when needed, so need only small memory cards and can last for months. But you rely on close triggering, so you can't look at open riverbeds for example.
