Wild game innovations / WGI. Normally can find them for $35-50. Very reliable. Bought a viewer/ trail cam package,viewer lasted 3 months camera less than a year and they are both in landfill.

Go to Walmart and find the cheapest they got and buy it. They’re like $28 and you can get on the Walmart website and buy a 2yr warranty for $3, lol. $31 for a camera you can replace for free! This^^^^ They work good!
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I've got a couple of Reconyx HC600 Hyperfire H.D. Covert IR that have been through the ringer (highly abused) for 6 years. Outrageously expensive, but, in my opinion, well worth it if you're really using them.

Sounds like wildlife viewing for fun is your objective. Like someone said spend $30 at WALMART. If it turns into something bigger then spend on a better one. Cheap one in my backyard I get lots of enjoyment from it.

I use Browning cameras in my wildlife business and for personal use. They are the best cameras I have used. Reliable, long lasting, great pictures, and beautiful videos with excellent sound. Their cellular models are fantastic too. The black flash never spooks anything, even coyotes. However, I do miss the color night photos from the early Nontypical cameras.
I tested a $200 Browning alongside a $40 Wild Game Inovations. 100 photos and 15 photos respectively. Which photos do you not want?
Each year I take approximately 100,000 photos and videos. Quality matters to me.
Check out Trailcampro.com. Great price. Double warranty with them.

I've got a couple of moulries that are pretty good and four Brownings that are really good. Check out Trail Cam Pro. Even if you don't buy from them they provide full specs and and a pretty objective review of several different brands and models.
