I found the middle setting to work best though it gets me a lot of short 
videos of cars driving past.  But then it also gets video of anyone 
walking by.  I'm thinking of moving the camera later on.  Of course 
these are stored on a micro-SD and when it runs out of memory just 
cycles.  The biggest problem is we don't have inexpensive solar cameras 
yet as you still have to wire these cameras for power.

I have found the camera to be VERY sensitive to motion - One of them 
shifted after I set it up, and I have about 800 videos of grass waving 
in a breeze. Sounds like yours is wireless.

Well you are getting far more interesting pictures than my security 
cam.  I finally got that installed yesterday and it had to be 100 
degrees in the crawl space over the garage.  I also plan to put one in 
the back though it will get less use as they use motion detection to 
record and I don't think the local squirrel that runs up and down my 
gutters in the morning is going to trigger it.

    I have a lot of those images on video, though this is the
    clearest one - The bats head towards the back of the property,
    under the trees, and probably a cave in the canyon wall, below. I
    haven't actually seen one, except on video, probably because the
    sky is full of predators, as dusk falls.

    My family used to go to a rustic bungalow, every weekend, when I
    lived on Java, and on the way, we passed through the town of
    Bogor, usually during evening, and the sky would often be dark
    with fruit bats, feeding on the mosquitoes. Magical.
    There is also a bobcat stalking the property, probably for
    lizards - Last night, he left a "present", on a rock, right at
    the entrance to the driveway, and I've seen his tracks.
    I love critters.

    My trail camera's frame rate, for video, is too slow, to catch
    the bat as a single image, so he leaves a trail of after images.
    I circled where he actually is, with his wings folded downward.


    Ohhhh, I LOVE bats. How great was that?? Keep 'em comin'.
