[QUOTE="bigbrad123, post: 41163, member: 806"] Not up much on security systems, but with the trail cam I guess it depends on if you want still pics or video. A trail cam will take still pics anytime there is a movement (you can set it for lots of different options as to amount of pics taken and how long between pics) and store them on an sd card. You can get 1500+ pics on a small 2 gb sd card. Video is a different story. Most cams will take video for a period time you set (ie: 10 or 15 seconds every 30 seconds or a minute). You won't be able to store as many videos on a small sd card, but if not many people are coming down your driveway and you go to your cabin every weekend, its probably not a big deal to set the trail cam on video. Some trail cameras nowadays take up to 32 gb cards which will store a lot of pictures and videos. Just make sure your trail cam points in the direction of the car coming so you could get a make, model, license plate number. Police use trail cams a lot to get pics of people tagging (spraypainting) places, etc. May also want to try to hide the camera so they can't see it or access it. Some cameras will flash and some of the newer cameras don't flash at all. Some cameras also have a small ride light that goes on when a pic is taken. You will get a wide variety of cameras ranging from $50 to $500. If money isn't an object, you might even consider getting a camera that you can check pictures remotely from your home computer. Most of those run about $400 or more and then you need to have a monthly cell type plan. You will get a lot of different opinions on brands and quality. I prefer the small Bushnell Trophy cams. Great pics, long battery life (if you use lithium), easy to use, etc. Some cameras don't work well in the extreme cold, however, so keep that in mind as well. However, lots of guys leave them out all winter long without a problem. [/QUOTE]
