I'm new to trail cameras, but I'm trying to find the best, inexpensive trail camera that I can set up on a property. While I know they are intended to see wildlife, they seem like they are the perfect solution to a vandalism issue at my 87 year old Grandmother's home.  
 
We are out in a rural town, so not exactly a whole lot of people are to witness anything, or cameras to catch it. She has been having issues with a person(s) coming into her yard and damaging her vehicle, home, garden items. While it may seem like small things to most people, it has happened a few times and I know it stresses her out.  
 
So I'm looking for a decent trail camera that would work to catch a glimpse of who it might be, so I'm looking for something that would work decent at night without being noticed by the person(s) causing the trouble. I've been searching around on amazon and while they have a number of them, there isn't really a whole lot of information in regards to how noticeable they are at night, and often a lack of reviews in general, which is why I'm hoping someone here may have more experience.  
 
Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are planning to use it as a security camera, then you will probably want to look at a camera that has no glow, flash or blinking lights, Infrared Red seems like the only option but I could be mistaken.  
 
Even the heavily camo'd ones still seem like they'd be fairly visible to the human eye, you might be better off mounting it high up, pointing down at the area.  
 
I have a spypoint C9 and can confirm it has visible glow or flash at night, and the pictures are pretty clear.

I have 2 of these with the ac adaptors and 16 gig sandisk

Go and see Chris at Allen Leigh Securities, I am sure he can set you up with something.  
 
I know a guy who bought a Trail Cam from Home Building Center, worked great, wasn't cheap but it worked, Night vision the whole bit, with no flash either, then he went a step further and called Chris...
