[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5646013, member: 1409"] When you set your cams, you have choices for the duration of "down" time (the cam will not work at all) [I]BETWEEN[/I] "triggering" events. In many applications, a common down time used is 1 minute. If a deer walks in front of your cam, it "triggers", takes a pic (or multiple pics). But then, the cam is "set" to not work at all for 1 minute. Something else walks by 30 seconds later, you miss that pic. Now, here's where it gets more interesting in the real world: The "set" down time is not the total time your cam will not work. You must add the particular cam's "Trigger Speed" & [I]"Recovery Speed"[/I] to whatever "down time" you "set". Muddying the waters are the terms "trigger speed" and "recovery time". They can be one of the same, separate, and/or overlap each other. Then, if a cam is triggered multiple time in a short amount of time, recovery time can become much longer. The "cheaper" cams tend to have longer "trigger speeds" and longer "recovery times". [/QUOTE]
