I had a real exercise in frustration with this effort this past season. I have an old digital camera and a motion sensor that is battery operated. I wired them together kinda and got it to work OK when tested but in practice it was kind of a struggle. I made it work but it was a pain in the butt to deal with. Once I actually figured out how to get it all to work it was pretty amusing. Here are some of the photo's it took while set up at a few different places.

A curious Kudu with those big ears could probably hear the bits forming it's picture inside that camera

Some time later this nice impala ram was strolling by

Another photo from the same place with warthogs(2) and an impala

Maribou storks and a vulture on a gut pile

On that tiny little camera window I could not see anything at first. Then I used the zoom function and saw that through the reflective dust particles there was a buffalo staring right at the camera! Must have been a whole lot of them to stir up the dust before the camera fired.

Another at the gut pile several levels of activity here!

I'll have this thing figured out with a better mounting system and a larger memory card for next visit. I think I can get some awsome photos using this setup I bandaided together if I can solve a couple little issues.
 
Yeah but your dealing with a "true professional" here! I cannot be in two places at one time so I decided I wanted to know what I was missing. When my hunters come I have the game sorted out long before the hunters show up!

Here are a couple more that I just found
