I purchased a Moultrie D50 Trail Camera and it seems to work just fine, but keeps taking ALOT of pictures of rain, snow and windy days. Is there any way to prevent this? I followed the quick start user manual, but doesn't seem very helpful.

007Blacktail: Any time you get rain, snow or wind which causes grass, leaves or branches to move, this will cause any trail camera to trigger. Some brands of cameras have a sensitivity switch. This could be set to a lower setting. The cameras with this feature have: low, medium and high. Default is medium. I have the Moultrie D55-IR and encounter the same as you are. Grass or branches could be removed in some situations, but not rain or falling snow. I also have Spy Point IRB, and the 2009 Bushnell Trophy Trail cameras. These all do the same. Trail cameras are designed to trigger upon motion.

Just try to make sure everything is cleared away from in front of it. Not much you can do about rain or snow though. Good luck!

Can you change the sensitivity on those cams?

pnut: I have the Moultrie Game Spy D55-IR. What I have for settings are: 1)Photo Quality-Low, Medium and High
2)Video Resolution-Low or High
From what I understand this just changes the quality of your Photo or Video depending what you have selected. This camera, when set for video will take a picture first, a slight delay, then the video. Night time videos are limited to 10 second. Contacting Moultrie, they told me they had no plans to extend the length of the night video due to extra power that would be required. There is nothing that actually lists as sensitivity like the Bushnell does.
