It detected flocks of crows and the dog, but not squirrels. I am going to try it on raccoons next. Still trying to figure out where to point the camera to avoid being in line with the sun at some point during sunny days.
The few pictures that were taken were all very dark, but upon upping the brightness on photoshop, they were clear and detailed.

Orient the camera facing as close to due North as you can for almost any area. Facing east gets morning sun washout, south is all day washout, west is evening washout.

and try to set up under the shade of doug fir limbs or other vegetation to avoid direct sunlight on the camera. Best thing you can do is get our of your yard and into the woods ;)

+1I was looking at my calendar and between now and the start of muzzleloader season, I have 3 weekends to set the camera out.

The first weekend is at the end of August.
But as soon as I set up the camera between my house and my neighbors which is 50 feet from my house, (I presume you have kids who
build mom a one million dollar plus house as a way of saying thanks, which is the case of how my neighbors house got built.), I should be able get some pictures of the 3, 4, and 5 point deer that walk by my front porch.
