Trail camera

[Petoski]

We had our family Christmas early this year for logistical reasons. My girlfriend's father gave me a very nice trail camera. I don't do any hunting but it will be very interesting to see what kind of animal (or human) activity there is on my plot and surrounding areas. Especially in the night.

I've thought about it too,perhaps as a security cam at home,not that many would voluntarily try to come to my place,two dogos,quite often here and they don't even let the pizza guy deliver without some loud barking, little alone let any one enter when here and they don't know the person.
it would be a bloody mess to clean up afterwards if a burglar came

I've thought about it but not sure how they operate and what knowledge is needed, they aren't cheap and I would be afraid of it being stolen.

Yeah they aren't cheap and wounld't have got one for myself but was happy to receive it as a gift. As for someone stealing it, we are in a very remote location so it is unlikely. You can get some device to lock it up. It was very easy to set up and use. Just put in a SD card and select video/photo options. As for use as a security camera i am sure there are better alternatives more suited to that.

I have inconspicuous trail cameras outside the house. And I also have some fake security cameras that are very conspicuous as decoys.

That's the way to go. Mix and match the real and the fake camera. Mine is inside the window and can't get stolen, got a dashcam for the scammers in traffic also.
