    Default Who is crapping in my yard??? Need Inexpensive outdoor camera.

    So, I have some animal shitting on my back porch.
    I have tried the ultrasonic pest control route, but to no avail.
    Could be cats, could be foxes...
    I need a recommendation for an inexpensive (under $50) outdoor camera.
    Ideally solar powered, wireless.
    Plenty of options on Walmart.com and Ebay, but they all seem to have "Human detection".Does that mean that anything smaller than a person would not activate it?
    Trying to figure out WTH is stalking through my backyard.
    If it is a fox I may be able to get animal control involved.
    This is what I was able to find on Walmart.com:

    human detection generally is used to avoid having larger objects (cars) not activate the camera. If you turn that setting off, a smaller creature should activate the camera

    I thought someone was crapping in my backyard. Turns out it was raccoons.

    I?m putting $1 on it being raccoons. Let me know if I?m wrong and I?ll pay up.

    I’m with Ray on this one.

    This is a bit more than $50 but you can watch the video live or recorded using the Reolink app on your phone.
    It will send you notifications on motion events if you want.
    It records to a micro SD card.
    The internal battery is charged by the solar panel that you can mount up to about 10 feet away from the camera

    I have three of an older model of this, they work great.

    I rarely use my Browning Trail Cameras any more.

    One of them has been mounted 15 feet up on a power pole for 2 years.

    Yeah I've had various versions of the Reolinks for years, they work great.

    Default Mark your territory!

    Sometimes you stop this by peeing in the area. Most animals don't like the scent of human urine.

    I have not found that to be true at all. I have peed in scrapes, on coyote poop, wallows and cameras show NO difference. In fact sometimes the cameras seem to get more pictures, of coyotes in particular. And a damn coon ain?t going to change it?s habits because human pee in the area. They will just pee and shit on top of it, to show dominance. Trail cam, with a trap baited with marshmallows should help the op out.
