I’ve an Apeman camera. It was £56 from Amazon.
I also bought an adapter.
It’ll take 13 second videos and one or two photos when activated.
It comes with a multi-positional bracket and a long strap.
I made a second bracket out of an old strap hinge so I can position it at either of two locations without having to use the strap. It’s pretty foolproof and the seal is very good. No worries about damp getting in, the two clips press the front down on the seal. I’ve opened it and taken the card out every day to download it on my laptop now for three months. Just have to remember to initialise the card when replacing it. I’ve set mine to turn on at 9.00pm and go off at 5.00am.
I can’t see the point in spending a lot of money on a trail camera just to take photos of hedgehogs. Best to position them around three or four feet from the ground to get some good shots., either in infra-red or as sometimes we do when it activates a PIR security light.

He’s about 6ft away here.

This is our ‘arry,
