One way to improve Trail Cam video/pictures is to put a Close-up lens on the camera. Most people seem to use 37mm and either +1 or +2. This makes the field of view much closer which is what you want for small animals. The best thing is to get a 37mm adapter and a couple of lenses and try them out.
You mount the adapter over the camera lens, using Black tack or similar.
Regarding cameras, I have gone through many different Amazon bought ones from China. Some have produced very good results, but in all cases the quality is never great and at least 5 have given up with various faults. I have now moved to Browning’s which are much better quality.
The Wildlife Watching and Trail Cameras UK is a FB site is worth visiting if you are interested in Trail Cams and the associated website has competitive prices for Cams.
Trying to take good pictures of Hogs at night with an SLR is difficult. Focus is an obvious challenge as will be exposure unless you have a studio lighting setup. Personally, I think a Mobile phone does a pretty good job, and taking things to the next level will be a lot of effort.
