    I have been using game cameras for sometime now.
    I just started using some of them on video mode.
    Remember, I am talking about night video in this thread.
    I have noticed that it picture mode animals will look at the camera but it does not seem to spook them.
    Now on video mode, I have had deer notice ( stare ) and even blow at the camera.
    Coyotes run as soon as the IR's turn on.
    I put a deer carcass out and put a camera on it.
    Every coyote ran as soon as the camera went on.
    Now in the day, coyotes never ran when the camera went on. ( 150 day time videos ).
    The last to videos are deer with the night time IR videos.

    I have been putting my ir cams higher in the tree 7-9 feet up the tree thereby getting the ir flash out of line of sight and has helped a lot.
