I’m thinking of using a trail camera for outdoor security and was wondering if anyone has any experience? Things I need are
-Night vision
-Motion detecting, ideally able to detect motion about 80 feet away
-Can handle cold weather - Minnesota gets chilly
-Can get alerts on smartphone

Thank you

Trail cameras with night vision, motion detection that detects movements up to 80 feet away, and smartphone alerts are good options for outdoor security in colder locations like Minnesota. Models intended for inclement weather are available from companies like Reconyx and Browning. Make sure the camera’s specs fit your requirements and financial constraints, giving priority to aspects like robustness and dependable operation in cold weather for efficient outdoor surveillance.
