Is it sensitive enough to pick up smaller animals too? Such as bobcats raccoons ect? My 10 year old wants one to see what kind of wildlife we have.

Yes. Mine picks up animals as small as round-tail ground squirrels, about the size of a small mouse. I have a frameable enlargement of a road runner standing on the edge of my bridge.

We have captured pictures of coyotes, deer, dogs, cats and they are clear as if you shot the picture on a hand held camera

They are only 3 mega pixel but they are very sensitive. They will take pictures of every bird that flies into the viewing area. Pictures aren't very good quality but certainly good enough to identify bluejays, crows etc at 30 feet. Very easy to operate--a good starter camera--he will have fun with it.

Yes, hunt by smell and aren't very brave towards larger animals unless in packs which is unusual. The effect is the same and will be effective due to the coyotes extra sensitive olfactory sensors. Nose and eyes will be the best targets.

No, I don't believe it would. It does detect birds in nearby trees, but not in farther trees blocked only by leaves. It would probably detect a mouse within about 20 ft., but not farther than that.....larger mammals it will detect farther than that.

My dogs are smaller than some cats. Kittens may be too small there was a review I saw that said really light animals might not trigger. It is very sensitive though. A pounce would probably trigger

I would say YES. We have raccoons in our area and they didn't get in. Only drawback is it's not that large.

I believe if you push it into the ground as far as it will go the sensor will pick upa skunk moving along the ground==we use ours for deer so I'm not positive,but I know my German Shepherd sets it off every time she goes near it!

I use them for watching wildlife, but I would suggest it takes some time to be comfortable with the sites, because they are small but certainly useful in "back yard" viewing. I live on a canal and there aren't deer and large animals, but birds, and we had a raccoon visit not long ago.

No. I bought for the same reason. The animals are too small (tested with a dog about the size of a Skunk. great for larger animal such as Deer.

I think the motion sensors could possibly pick up pet movement. I had trouble with my motion sensors without pets in the house, they were tripping for unknown reason.

I bought this humane trap for catching raccoon which size is less than 20 lbs. the trap can keep a 20 lbs cat inside it depending on how far you bring the cat does, I mean if just keep several hours, it doesn't matter, if keep it inside for a couple of days. it is not good to use this trap. This advice is just for reference, thanks.

Yes, it work just fine on animals . We had a pesky raccoon that would come within 6-7 feet of us on the porch, needless to say he was not happy she rubbed her eyes which actually more it work better. She never came back while we were on the porch but the little guys did and one by one they got their shot.

I might be being played however, I do not, and could, have trouble with raccoons. I do use the product shown on the left of the screen. Sweeney's Mole and Gopher tool. It works for me. I have sent it to friends in other states and it works for them.

I don't think so. It even picks up my neighbors cat, it's pretty sensitive.

I would think so, it works for cats too and they're usually pretty light. I got mine for my Rottie and it worked great! but it has 3 different sensitivity settings so there should b one that works for a little guy too.

If you position the unit low enough you may pick up animals that enter the field. We have a small dog that when he runs down the driveway we hear it beep, which for us is good.

I don't think it will. It barely recognizes a person. I admit I didn't try it with our two girls but you will need something a lot more sensitive. Nothing comes to mind to suggest. Good luck with your cats!
