I have several of these cameras and have used them for several years. The biggest problem that I have discovered is the way the camera switches from daytime to, IR pictures. The remington switches to IR at a predermined time, all the time, regardless of the time of year. I do not have the manual, but i believe the time is 7 pm and 6 am. This causes the IR lense to take a picture at say 7:15 p.m. and at this time of the year it is fine, but in July it is a white picture. Also, if it takes a picture now at 6:55 p.m. it is not in IR, and of course the picture is black. The same problems happen in the morning depending on the time of the year.
My cameras are at least a year old, and I do not know if the software is the same on the new ones. One way to prevent the previous problem is to use the regular flash.
In my opinion though, the ghost is much more reliable than the comprable 70-100 dollar cameras out there, as I have them too, and I trust the Remington much more.
In reference to the brush question, I have put my camera in a large field with 3 ft of straw in the background, and it will almost continuously take pictures in the day time, but at night it is fine. In the woods it very rarely triggers by wind or trees moving.
