Hi guys! New member here.
Firstly, I'm not a game hunter (waterfowl!) so I hope you'll welcome me here anyway. Secondly, I have a bit of a unique application for a trail cam, for which I'm hoping for a little advice. My father owns a house in the mountains of North Georgia, and he gets bears on the porches (upstairs and downstairs), but he almost never sees them. So for Christmas, I want to buy him a trail cam or two so he can see his bear friends visit.
So the reason I need help is this: He uses his porches all the time, so if he mounts trail cameras, the memory card is going to be full of pictures of him, and the batteries are going to die in no time. Does anyone make a trail camera you can program to start at a certain time? Say, 10pm? The bears visit at night while he's asleep, so that's the only time the cameras really need to be on. Thoughts??
Thanks!
Greg
