Frequent Picture

    I often see pictures exactly like ASG000z2ef. What triggers the motion senser in the camera if there is no movement?

    I think I can see a few of the very tallest grass-stems moving slightly. That seems to be enough to trigger the camera, sometimes 😕
    I've also seen captures that appear to have been caused by the sun shining directly into the lens, so maybe the sensitivity of the sensors is affected by temperature to some extent?

    I think sometimes an animal can also be close enough to trigger the sensor but not show up on the image. That is often apparent when there is a series of pictures (for instance of lions in front of the camera): Sometimes there are images in the series that show no animal flanked by images that do. So the camera got triggered but did not catch the animal even though it is till close by (maybe under the camera).
