There are better cameras on the market at the same sort of price.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216476378722079748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009643355982117276.post-73672452061696845702010-10-16T00:32:11.305+01:002010-10-16T00:32:11.305+01:00Hi Roger,

The PIR sensitivity isn't a precise thing, I found - it depends on the size of the animal, the temperature of the surroundings, the speed of the animal's movement, and its angle to the camera. In practice, the closer the animal is to the camera, the better - except that too close and the IR lamp is too bright and the image is washed out. <br />Good luck!<br />JamesJames Marchingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109578008088776428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009643355982117276.post-55055901222007360002010-10-15T22:52:22.765+01:002010-10-15T22:52:22.765+01:00So the following morning............

Nothing during the night.<br />No foxes. No rats. Nothing.<br />So maybe the 15m PIR works better at 10m. I'm trying again tonight.Rogernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009643355982117276.post-55259936177154525682010-10-14T19:07:49.865+01:002010-10-14T19:07:49.865+01:00Hi James

Did you get any pictures in the end?<br />I've just bought one, gone through the set up(though it's not quite in the same order as the manual), tied it to ba post by the chicken house, tested the PIR range (didn't seem very conclusive) and hopefully switched it on (this may seem simple to a layman but seems a bit complex when you read the manual!!). Now I'll wait till morning.............<br />Meanwhile, do you think I'll get any pictures???Rogernoreply@blogger.com
