The one second or less should be great for trails. Watering holesyou should not need the triggerspead to take the picture if they are stopping buy to take a drink. The cameras do havemax distance they will trigger.Sixty yards away the cameraswon'ttrigger though.

I have never reallytried to max outthe distance awayfrom the camera and still triggger it.I willcheck and see someof mytrail camerapictures thatlook far away.
