Hi, I guess a starting point is how is your camera set up. For instance I have three cameras and I set them to take 30s clips followed by a 3-5m delay. This means I probably get about 40-70 clips a night which is about 30mins of video per camera. So I know I will miss quite a bit of what goes on, but if I left the cameras with no delay I would probably have 12 hours of footage for each camera and the batteries would need charging daily !!
If your camera is set with no delay then it could be the PIR sensors are not picking up every movement for some reason. You can usually adjust the sensitivity in the set-up, but its camera specific. I have had mice taking individual hog nibbles away, but a bowlful does seem unlikely. I also get birds taking nibbles and/or Calci worms especially crows, starlings, blackbirds and robins (worms only), but this is during daytime.
