I had two of the plotwatchers and trade them back to the supplier for a new plotwatcher pro. The older plotwatcher was not very reliable but the pro version is top notch it is great for observing your entire area and with lithum batteries it will run for alot longer than the first version.

Great for a plot, but my dad tried to put one on a road crossing and they are just not made for that. Got alot of pictures of deer hindquarters as they were walking into the woods. But he also got alot of pictures of deer that were far down the road that he would not have gotten with a regular camera so he said it was worth the trade off.

this is actualy going in my yard for surveilence; i think my neighbor is snooping around when i'm not there during the day. i was thinking one of these vs the trail camera because it appears the FOV is much larger than a standard motion triggered camera, and from a distance seems much harder to detect with the eye...

would you think this would be better than a standard trail camera?
