There are a lot of motion sensor cameras out there. They can be set to either still or video. When motion is detected, off they go. The ones I'm familiar with have a relatively short range (10 to 20 feet).

The trick is securing them. Ideally, you cable them to something solid, like a tree, so they can't be stolen. They can also be smashed or otherwise vandalized. I have a couple of friends who use motion sensor cameras to photo wildlife. I can find out more info pretty easily.

Like I say, though, the trick is to find a good place to mount the camera where it will be secure, unlikely to be detected, and have a good view of the boxes.

Snowden was right. I'm really being watched everywhere! :shock:

Honestly, I love it. I've looked into those cameras a few times on Amazon, Cabela's and so on. I always thought it would be cool to set one up near my camp and get some shots of whats been checking up on me during the night.

And since were just spitballing here... Why not go wireless with real-time images to your phone.

Just hang out at the top and.... well, you get the idea. (Insert evil laugh):wink:

No cameras please. I like to think I'm away from that stuff when hiking.
