There is also the Primos DPS day-only cam that takes photos every 10 seconds. Dicks Sporting goods now has them for $39 with free shipping. I have a slightly older model I have used for 3 years now - it is dependable. Mine could be set for every 20 seconds and with that setting you could go a month on a set of 8 AA batteries. So I just ordered another at Dicks. Not the best quality pics at long range, but you can see deer movement pretty well up to 75 yds away. Just used it in sub-zero temps and it even worked! (Although I think I will be lucky to get much more than a week on the batteries in this cold) And again, this cam only takes photos from sunup to sundown.

I have found that very cheap motion activated cams tend to fail - the two Wally-world cams I tried failed within days and I returned them. Natchez sounds like a great place to get a decent IR cam at a good price too - thanks bdan68 for recommending this.
