    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.

    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.

    Default Mark your territory!

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

    I will post it soon (remember you actually ask for it).
    There seem to be two different kinds, one probably a cat, the other one definitely larger.
    I may try the mark the territory idea...

    I am a strong proponent of the "mark your territory" concept. Of course, that is a bit easier to do here in the hills than in town.
