I usually never check cameras more than once or twice a month.I usually get anywhere from 50-300 pictures and videos combineddepending on location,bait and weather.I also take a 1 minute video per each triggering.You will be surprised what you catch on video that you didnt catch on the still image.I have had many still pics that only showed part of a deer and after watching video you can see what you were missing.Also video helps you determine if you are getting false triggers such as branches or weeds blowing in front of the camera that you wouldnt see in a still image.
