Looking for cam/camera equipment for nocturnal photography of wildlife

[The Backlash Cometh]

Someone on DU suggested a system that was about $200, but could pick it up for half that. Unfortunately, I can't find the thread. My wishlist in features includes the following:

wireless
sensor activated
about 50 to 75 foot range.
I don't expect perfect pictures, just enough to identify the animal.
Preferably there's a stealth feature. I don't want something flashing to scare the animal away.

If you're using a system, feel free to describe the system and tell us what you like about it, or dislike.

1. I can't help much except to

suggest you look for reviews on hunting sites. Seems a lot of hunters use these set ups.

2. Thanks. I found a couple things that look promising.

3. How handy are you?

I also have an old film book on doing this. The camera was actually mounted in a glass box in a stream with the flash on shore in the shrubs. Battery life seems to be a major issue. I don't have the patience to get critters in broad daylight so this is something I would never consider doing.

Good luck

4. Actually, the cheapest thing I found was a security light from harbor freight!

I just have to figure out how to hook it up to a VCR.
