If I could find a Forum search feature I could probably answer my own question because I think this has been discussed already. But anyway, can I have a real-world recommendation or two for a wildlife camera for my garden?

I have no idea what features I want or need, I just want to see who/ what visits Le Jardin d'Ambrose here in leafy Carmarthenshire.

I like my Browning camera. Pretty decent quality photos and video.
NatureSpy have a good range. https://shop.naturespy.org/camera-trap-selection/

Followed the last thread, as sadexpunk has linked.

Was recommended Browning by professional ecologists doing surveys in US and UK.

For far cheaper, we bought the Campark T45 and brother-in-law got the T85. It's perfectly adequate for seeing what is about, but the T45 has a bit too focused beam at the front which leads to over exposure at night (not a problem when there is daylight or dusk). See video of ours linked below. T85 of BiL doesn't have the same issue but costs more, still far cheaper than Browning. We will buy the T85 in the future. Both have good choice of setting and battery life, though you can't use rechargables.
