Do wild animals trigger your cameras? I live in the woods and have opened my door to find deer, skunks, bobcats, etc on my back porch well within range of at least 2 cameras. Everything else triggers them except wild animals. Is that normal? This is part of why I have these cameras, so between this and the delayed notifications I’m not having a great experience. I do have cam plus, the base station is wired, and I use an iphone if any of that matters.
They surely do. Some samplings from @bryonhu and @Antonius.
May need to dial in your PIR and sensitivity if not getting recorded events.
I have been experiencing the same issue. I have bears that come and go in my backyard. I know they are there because I see their scat, and I have seen them, The camera with pet AI on doesn’t pick them up.
I have noticed the bear moves slowly and fluidly, not like a skunk or dog maybe this is why?
I get numerous visits and recording on my Battery Powered WCO of Raccoons, possums, a skunk and the never ending parade of cats (None of which are mine). Alert for a PET last night from my V3 camera, the same !@#$%^& Cat that comes by 12 times a night. ![]()
Guilielmus the raccoon going to work and partner following.
I will send you this one Antonius, if you want another pet ![]()
There was a big Tom in the middle of the street a few days ago just down from my driveway with his girls and he wouldn’t move. I stopped, got out of my truck, big mistake again on my part. He chased me back to the truck and I waited. This is the second time this has happened to me. I need to carry a shotgun in the truck I guess, the golf clubs aren’t long enough

Try the horn or just run over them if they are harmful.
It’s the Skin Walkers/Shape Shifters, that don’t appear on camera! No, but really, why does everything else appear on my camera, but not whatever is picking apart my garden box, right below the camera, in the day time?! I did catch some small, shadowy figure darting from under my front stairs, once(at night). I have the V2.
