  • Wildlife camera?

    Hello all,

    I've been thinking about getting a wildlife camera. Something to monitor the garden overnight so I can see what turns up.

    I'm not expecting a lot, as I'm in an urban environment with neighbouring gardens on three sides. I know I'll get foxes, and cats defecating in my asparagus bed but I'd like to see what else turns up.

    My requirements are:

    Good quality pictures / video.
    Motion activated would be handy, but the option to run 24/7 if required.
    If I could set it up so I could watch it remotely on a mobile device (tablet / smart phone), that would be excellent. Is that even possible?
    Ability to move it about if necessary (e.g. I might want to position it in front of the pond for a night, which is down the end of the garden).
    Value for money. I don't mind spending a few quid (well, actually I do but I want one ) but if I spend a lot I want a lot in return.

    I know next to nothing about these things, so wondered if any of you grapes already have one, and what you would recommend. What other features don't I realise I need yet?

    Any input appreciated.

    Cheers,
    MBE

        Found this and it looks informative: Best Trail and Game Cameras of 2015 | Top Ten Reviews
        I would guess the Stealth Cam G30 is the one I would opt for, the one weakness given is the field of view is 50 degrees which may be a little restrictive depending on where you site it.

        Found a US review site and there are 2 other Stealth Cams around the RX36 and RX24 at a reasonable cost. Recovery time on these is quicker and they say the G30 is no longer produced.

        I selected the up to $200 option in the filtering.
