Trail cameras for Security Surveillance

I have found that trail cameras are a great way of keeping an eye on your hunting property while you are away. By placing cameras high up in a tree or a power pole, you can remotely observe if someone is trespassing on your property. A good place to place a camera is on a pole overlooking the front door of your cabin or gate onto the property. Another good place to use one is on highly used trails during the shedding period of January to March. This way you might be able to catch shed hunters on your property. I have actually caught turkey hunters trespassing in the spring. Most people who are on your property without permission are paranoid for fear of getting caught. This paranoia causes people to overlook most cameras hanging on trees because they are focused more on human forms. Since we live a good distance from our property, my wife and I rely on the trail cameras to keep us up to date on what or who is on our property. A more recent advance in technology is the new cell phone trail cameras. These work on the principle of capturing pictures on a cell phone installed within the trail camera body and then sending them to your personal cell phone or computer. This process is usually done within seconds of the actual picture being captured. This allows you to have immediate up to date information of your property. I have not currently tried this set up yet because of the high cost. I do believe it would be of benefit for certain circumstances. If you have not yet tried using your camera for security detail than give it a try this year. It is a good way of keeping your cameras up and running during the normal off season of deer and turkey.
