[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5798054, member: 17"] My boss at the time worked with TrailMaster to produce the first commercially available trail-cameras. They were the TrailMaster 1000 and TrailMaster 1500. The TM1000 was a passive unit like today's cameras. However, they hadn't developed the technology yet of having an array of heat sensors that acted like a motion sensor. So it had just one heat sensor. I can't tell you how many pictures I had developed of the sun coming out from behind the clouds! Basically worthless. However, the TM1500 was amazing. It was an "active" unit, in that it projected an infra-red beam across a trail. It had a sending unit and a receiving unit that had to be lined up. When something broke the beam, the camera took a picture. Lots of research done with those cameras. The problem was, they ran $1,500 each! I only had one! [/QUOTE]
