Does anyone have a wildlife camera?

I'm just looking for advice on how to use the one I got for Christmas. The instructions aren't very clear and I'm not sure how to best position it. It's sat on my sleeper in the garden atm (have just ordered a tripod for it). Will it catch the opposite side of the garden (about 3-4 metres) or only things closer? (it has 120 degree view and side sensors).

Have you caught anything exciting?

I've got a cheapy one, it's picked up about 3 metres away. I don't live rurally or have a big garden or anything but I used to have it strapped to a tree opposite my bird feeder which got lots of lovely images and videos and more recently I just pop it on the drive as I know we get foxes. It's picked up foxes and hedgehogs previously and quite well. Enjoy your new camera!

Oh that's cool. I think we've had a hedgehog in the past. Caught a neighbour's cat last night lol. Just going to move it around and experiment I think. I was surprised how good the images/video were for the price.
