[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5738161, member: 17"] Yes. Even the best of cams can suffer from this. The classic example is a camera pointing north at a scrape and overhanging limb. With leaves still on the overhanging limb, the sun shines on them around mid-day. A slight breeze comes along and moves those sunlit branches and leaves. This can trigger the camera. All my cams, regardless of brand, suffer from this. Another common one is pointing the cam out into a sunlit field or food plot. A breeze moving grass and weeds at the far side of the sunlit field can trigger the camera, especially cameras with very sensitive triggers. My Browning cams will trigger on deer so far away and back in the brush that you can hardly see them in the image. And these cams have a bad habit of triggering on sunlit swaying grasses and brush at long distance. So a camera triggering on sunlight does not mean the camera is bad. It just has a very sensitive trigger. You can either tone down the trigger sensitivity (and possibly miss deer), or leave it as is and use a lot of the delete command! [/QUOTE]
