Low glow, still has some visible IR light (I have 2) The coyotes around here can't stand a camera with red IR lights (visible to you), they will leave quick. I have had better luck if I put them about 8'+ above the ground, does not seem to bother them near as much.

When the camera interfears with the animal I think it has more to do with sound than the red light. I have daytime animals stare at the camera the same as at night. That click the camera engages probably is what gets them. More confident animals don't seem to worry about it, but when a coyote is already on edge because of the new hole or rock in an area, and new odors, the click probably puts them over the edge.
If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

I check the traps in the evening I don't go check the camera for 3 or 4 days I don't get close to the camera! I walk by the sets everyday tho I was asking if u checked the camera for noise during daylight or during dark? It makes a difference. On some m9dels the noise is on all the night pics/videos and on some its just the first night pic or video

Only camara i used was snow issues i had was over using lure in milder temps another time it was new boots i bought after seeing circles of coyote tracks around my sets i found i couldn't stand the smell myself I check sets from the truck seat / binoculars but when you see sets worked 6 weeks after luring probably overloaded the senses

The camera has no sound in the dark when it comes on either it's a wild game innovation WR16 blackout! But form what I have seen the coyotes do they see the blackout! And are gone! So they are seeing some kind of light! Some cameras are noisy and pretty obvious to us but others I don’t necessarily hear anything. However I’m not convinced that those cameras aren’t putting off noise but just in range or decibel level which doesn’t register to humans Every digital camera requires infrared light to work in the dark. But there are lots of versions of IR and the manufacturers generally just call it black out etc. Comes in Various wavelengths and intensity which makes difference in how much they are detected. It’s not super uncommon to see a coyote stare at camera from the light. You’ll See same stare at night if turn on digital scope

Are y’all using video mode or just pics? I used a Browning that would take vids, but it had 4 lights that glowed red. I’ve seen coyotes notice it and not stick around, then I’ve seen coyotes notice it and come up to the camera to check it out. I never used it on a set, just scrapes and rub trees when deer hunting.
All my cams now are Spartans and pics only. There is no glow or sound on these cameras that I can see or hear. I think if a critter looks at it, it’s because it’s out of place. It wasn’t there last time through but is now. I can honestly say I’ve never had anything spook that I can tell. Have coyotes and cats walked right past a set like it didn’t exist? Yep, it happens. Has the same or different coyote/cat come back the next night and make a beeline for the set and get caught? Yep again, lol. Now if I ever get a critter investigate and look at the camera and bolt with a Spartan is the day I’ll quit using them. So far in 5-6 years it hasn’t happened.
I don’t have a lot of areas to see tracks, so cameras are my “eyes” so to speak. They’ve actually caught me a few critters by telling me exactly where they’re stepping vs my sets. The biggest issues I see with cameras are people going to mess with sets when one passes by. I was guilty as heck, but I’ve learned to just leave them be and let it ride. Sets get pulled on pull day, maybe lure added after several inches of rain, but normally they ride it out from day one until time to move on.
