I think my best bet is some blink cameras. They are small and run on batteries. I am scouting areas I can put them. Game cameras put up high are a PITA to climb up and down a ladder to get the card. The coop is one area I definitely will put put one. Flowerpot is a good idea. Birdhouse is another idea.

The cameras I had put up last year to replace 4 if the cheapie, not working very well because they were about to peter out, are professionally installed. I had them online but unhooked them from the router when I got home one day and the admin was already logged in. Someone hacked it. I have changed the pswrds but still keep them unhooked. Thats why I think someone knows what they can and cant see. Id like to replace the other 4 with flir cameras but those are big bucks. One camera I had replaced cost $600.00. I have spent $6000 on the 4 new cameras( I have 8 total), and part of that cost besides labor was for the new nvr and a converter so I can still use the old analog cameras. Im tired of spending money trying to catch someone who has nothing better to do than troll around at night. Im not worried he will do anything to me. He is just trying to keep under my skin and get me to move. Im just going to pretend he dont exist. I win.

P.S. if he looks thru my trash I can put a bear trap in it just tell the cops I was trying to catch a coyote.
I like this ideal :lol: . Try a security company or a magic shop . There are several different kinds of luminal powders on the market . Also Harbor Freight sells a drive way alert that cost $20 will transmit about 200 feet. The transmitter works on a 9 volt battery, And the receiver alarm takes 3 or four c batteries. one draw back is the transmitter has a red led power light . A piece of black tape will take care of that . I have one and it works to good. Flying birds set it off and so will a blowing leaf . Along with wild turkeys tall hay waving in the wind. It works pretty good considering how cheap it is .

I know this is going to sound like a really crazy idea, but maybe you'll see where I am coming from. When people study wildlife especially, they mount small cameras to them, or even on pets to study where they go and what they do during the day. Sort of like a Go-Pro thing for animals? Point being, have you ever thought about strapping some sort of mini camera onto one of your pets or livestock to catch this guy in the act? I know this sounds silly but it was just a thought.
