Putting cameras around the garden can be really rewarding. I have a number of cameras in my garden which produce fascinating footage of my nocturnal visitors. To share the footage with my family I set up a youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXN4CWPm5H-49ZUWgObuflw/ — feel free to look around. Asking which camera is best is like asking which type of car is best — so much depends on what you want to do with it. I’ve added videos on camera types and on things to think about when buying a camera. Be aware that the cheaper cameras are very vulnerable to moisture damage and so have to be treated with care. For example, the model I use most, the Campark T20, has a very effective seal around the case but when you open the camera up to get to the memory card or to change batteries you open up the seal. This means if you handle the memory card with damp fingers the moisture on the card will get sealed into the camera when you close it and can then affect the electronics. The more expensive cameras are more moisture proof.
