Trail/Stealth Cams !?

Does anyone use one of those 'Stealth', 'Wildview' etc cameras that trigger when activated by movement, you set them up then leave them, go back a few days later to see what theyve captured.
I'm thinking of getting one to help build a better general picture of the times of day etc that wildlife is moving and where, does anyone use one and have any recommendations ?

Hi Gary

I have seen these and it was a product that we were going to be looking at this year. They can be expensive £150 - £1000 Where were you planning on using it?

Hi Steven,

I've found several websites selling them, they seem to range from about £70-400, they seem to be an American product as they're quite big into hunting, the two most common makes seem to be ' Stealthcam' and 'wildview'.
I was planning on using it in my local wood to track movements better, it would save alot of time if i had a better idea of general times of movement, and there are some of my locations where im not sure what is living in which hole !!

Cool Gary, remember to fix them securely as you don't want someone walking away with it. I would agree they would help you structure your time better and give you a chance of seeing some wildlife at night.
