Yes they are, I already have them back out. The problem I had I think was light throughout the day triggering it.

The light/heat can trigger them, as well as the moving bushes. If its aimed at a spot that gets strong sun surrounded by shade it will trigger because the sun spot is a higher temperature than the surrounding area.
I have 1 cam set that gets a lot of these sun spot pics everyday at 1300. (but its a really good spot so I leave it there)
