Calling on MM

I build my own, using an Olympus D-360 L camer or Sony a couple of different Sony cameras. It's cheaper and they work GREAT. Takes some time to build, but it's fun.
 O.K. MM I am calling you out on this. So, will you share your secrets with us? Maybe a photo by photo display on how to build your own trail cam. (???)

I would be interested in that also, since I just bought a Swamp Ghost from Corey Bailey to see how much better a Homebrew is.

I don't want to step on any feet here but they are very easy to build.
This box here is for a D-380 camera.

 I bought the cameras off e-bay the water proof boxes at a local shop here in town the switches and battery holder at radio shack. Got the glass from a broken widow i had and the sensor board from pixcontroller. These controllers work great.

Thanks Wapiti for your help,

I do/did the same thing Wapiti does...

Here are my pics...

I don't have step by step pics, but there is a manual online that I followed. I'll see if I can get a link to some of the other info you guys need in a bit.
