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. http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm158/2robinhood/?action=view¤t=TEIR0008.mp4 http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm158/2robinhood/?action=view¤t=TEIR0009.mp4 http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm158/2robinhood/?action=view¤t=TEIR0010.mp4 http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm158/2robinhood/?action=view¤t=TEIR0011-1.mp4 http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm158/2robinhood/?action=view¤t=TEIR0012.mp4 http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm158/2robinhood/?action=view¤t=TEIR0013.mp4 http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm158/2robinhood/?action=view¤t=TEIR0029.mp4 http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm158/2robinhood/?action=view¤t=foxysvideo11.mp4 http://s295.photobucket.com/albums/mm158/2robinhood/?action=view¤t=IM000002-1.mp4
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.
