One of my drain covers in the back garden keeps being moved and I can't understand what animal is doing it. I thought it might be a fox but ......
Foxy - how long do the batteries last in these cameras and are the batteries for it expensive?
They take four standard AA batteries, but you can put in eight if it's going to be left unattended for a long time Pesta. I only used four, and they didn't need replacing for the six months It was in operation. I think in 'Movie' mode it might use them more quickly.
Don't use duracell batteries because I find that they always leak and damage the battery terminals, energizer are my preferred brand, I've never known one leak yet and they last a decent length of time. Just the standard one's will suffice, don't bother paying extra for the supposed 'Long Life' versions. This also applies to any other battery operated stuff you might have......
