" ... The motion sensor is very fast response and preformed well. ... "
" ... This one has different sensors than the $70 one. ... "
" ... There is a learning curve when it comes to the optimal set up depending on the surroundings - sensitivity of the motion detector depending on the wind or the distance to objects in the background to avoid overexposure. ... "
" ... Trying to locate animals using motion sensors can sometimes not provide the clearest picture but the functionality here supersedes many of the photos I have seen from other products. ... "
" ... The motion sensor works very well. ... "
