Since I haven't owned property before, and am new to TrailCams...
This one looks like it's a pretty good deal, since I will be getting at least a few, I am going to go pseudo-inexpensive:
GardePro A3 Trail Camera 24MP 1080P, H.264 HD Video, Clear 100ft No Glow Infrared Night Vision, 0.1s Trigger Speed, 82ft Motion Detection, Waterproof Cam for Wildlife Deer Game Trail
It looks like this takes 128GB SD cards and 8xAA batteries.
1) Is 8xAA batteries the norm?
Originally I was looking for some that take D batts, however since I will probably be using rechargeable LSD AA's, since they take 8 of these bad boys... and am so damned sick of batteries leaking and killing remotes and such.
2) Did some of the old-school TrailCams use D batteries for battery life longevity?
Looking for some TrailCams in the $60-$100 range, however I am not sure how long the batteries will last in these.
3) Depending on (false?) motion-triggers, how long do your batteries usually last in these with Alkaline, vs. NiMH LSD, vs. Disposable Lithium, etc?
These will also be used to monitor for trespassers/squatters.
I appreciate any input here to increase this newbies knowledge-base...
