It's actually for figuring out which cat is putting her stinkies where she's not supposed to. With 5 cats it's all but impossible without a camera.
The question is, do I want to spend $50 on a camera that will work well enough indoors for the task at hand but not be a great choice for using outside for normal usage? Or do I spend twice that to get a camera that will work for what I need now AND what I may need later?
I've read the reviews for the $50 cameras and they are pretty bad in general. Oddly enough the ones recommended by online article writers are hated by the people who actually bought them. It's almost like the people writing the article was getting something out of a good review. Weird.
Anywho, I looked at the Moultrie 4000i because it's on sale and most of the positive reviews are from people who got free cameras in return for a review. There are multiple bad reviews from the people who paid for theirs. Lots of 1 and 2 star reviews but when I go to Moultries website they have nothing but great reviews. Uh huh. Makes it pretty hard to trust that company.
So, still looking until such time as I figure out who pooped on my teddy bear!!!
