Thanks for making your instructional video brief, yet informative. Very (first time) user-friendly. 🙂

This is far more helpful than the camera's manual.

It is a pleasure to watch your videos. You make watching wildlife even funner than it already is. And for those people who are thinking of bringing home a pet (dog, cat, turtle, parrot, hamster...), your videos could save these poor creatures living out of their habitats; by showing how close real wildlife actually is and how to enjoy trying to get a nice view of it. Congratulations for your great work.

Rechargeable batteries may be a more environmentally friendly choice, I have the Sanyo enloop and 7dayshop Rechargeable AA NiMh Batteries (2900mAh) - I've found them both to be excellent value and efficient. I use them in my camra flash, ring flash and torches :)

It is a very nice video with good information. Thanks for sharing and keep with your hard work. Very well done!

Nice video, thanks. How long might one expect the batteries to last?

[@ryanwalter4059]

They can last upwards about a year many of the Trail cameras now these days are so energy-saving and sophisticated these days you can pretty much pick up anything on these Trail cameras because I've got a brownie Strike Force XD Pro and one set of 6 batteries will last you about 6 to 8 months and detection on my brownie trail camera is about 120 feet max

What gives false positives on this particular model by Bushnell? How many times does the motion detection go wrong?

Hi simon. A very informative video. I need to clearify certain things. Does a trail camera have any LED light which can be seen at night. I require to use it for security of my farm and dnt want the thieves to knw the existance of trail camera

[@ryanwalter4059]

irfan huda yes they do have LEDs but it's infrared so infrared would put out a low red glow but the beam is undetectable by The Human Naked eye if you don't want them to discover the trail camera hiding it in a good spot and try and go with Trail cameras that have got black infrared technology which means there is no red glow at all

Badgers????? Holy crap, that's heavy duty nature!
