Scope note
Devices combining an un-manned camera and a mechanism to trigger the capturing of a still or moving image. The triggering mechanism may comprise a motion sensor, an infrared sensor, or a light beam, or it may be mechanical, as when an animal tugs at bait or passes in proximity to the camera. An example of usage is to capture pictures of animals in the wild.
