Have used the device to monitor a weekend cottage. Provides good photos of uninvited and unwanted visitors, both at daytime and at night. Only the area where the motion detector triggers could be greater, since the more distant areas to be photographed in the picture though, but a movement where it triggers a photo. Here you need two or more of these Kamaras to really cover everything. Otherwise: Rugged, weatherproof camera with very low battery consumption (8 AA batteries are now working for 3 weeks nonstop) delivers amazingly useful photos! If this camera to buy again!
