Default What Android motion-activated camera snapshot app do you use that is suitable as a day/night outdoor wildlife cam?

I inherited an old Android phone that was given as a gift to a kid who now
has a brand new phone, an iPhone in fact, because she always pined for iOS.

What I'd like to do is set up this phone as a sort of "wildlife" cam
(note that it doesn't rain at all in California for many months on end).

Have you ever set up an old Android phone as a wildlife snapshot cam?
o What camera app do you use that takes motion activated snapshots?

Googling for motion activated camera free apps, I find in Google Play:
o https://play.google.com/store/search?q=motion%20detector%20camera&c=apps

The high cost of freeware is in the effort required to test them all.

Seems a bit pointless to me other than to try for fun douby any would be very practical
to use very often.


For ±$100 you can have a TrailCam which can give you most of what is needed for this type of image capture.

Here is some early morning IR TrailCam possum & skunk action.
