What's a good model of wildlife cameras/videos to get? Cheap but decent to identify and capture (image only) wildlife visiting a garden. I'm moving into a decent sized and significantly natural garden that is on the edge of a rural village. I'm guessing there is wildlife passing through.

However, I am considering spending a bit more next time and getting a 'no glow' version as the red light on the Crenova is visible and does startle some animals.
