Homebrews simply mean taking your own camera, case, motion detection system and putting it together into a working trailcam.  There are many different cameras used. There are some kits out there. Look through the homebrew builds forum and you will get the idea.

One other consideration with a homebrew is that you have an 'in the field' picture viewer too (as long as your battery didn't die).

I built my first homebrew last week and got it out in the woods on sunday, it is a lot easier than I thought, and I tested it and it works great!  ;)

wouldnt you have to leave the camera on? if i left my camera on i dont think the batteries would last very long.. i dont know jack about homebrews so this might be a stupid question..

The hombrew PIR motion controller turns the camera on and off and presses the shutter button. I can leave my homebrew out a month and get 500 pics or so.
