Howdy folks,

I'm in search of a game cam type set up for monitoring chicken laying habits. Basically a motion activated camera that takes pictures or video when a chicken goes into a nesting box.

I've done some research, but it's kind of a SEO shitshow on Google, with 10,000 different options. I want something real simple that just takes an SD card, no wireless network crap.

Ideally not crazy expensive.

Thanks in advance.

100% whatever trailcam fits your budget. They are robust against weather and other insults, crazy battery life, and some have remote monitoring. Don't overthink this one.

weather and other insults

I was in a band by that name. We very very big in Scotland, Scandinavia, and Nebraska.
