Automatically triggered cameras are a great way to document wildlife that does its best to not be seen. These cameras typically contain heat and motion sensors, and have an array of infrared LEDs to take pictures at night without alarming the wildlife. Setting up a trail camera isn't just a matter of strapping a camera to a tree though. You need to find an area where wildlife is concentrated, and where the animals linger long enough so that the camera turns on and starts taking pictures.
