I started this same conversation, 5 or 6 years ago. I'll tell you before I buy something like this, I'll search: Top 10 best, or Top 5 best trail cams.
I forget who it was, here on the forum recommended a Stealth Cam. G42NG model.
I just searched, that same model is in the top Five. I have 4 of them in the woods right now, and honestly for the price, they are a good camera. A while back I found them on sale, $100 each. Crisp clean pictures, very good battery life and simple to use.
But I have them scattered out, about 10 miles from my first camera to the last one. But they've held up very well. Check them out and read the reviews before you buy.

Good dependable cameras for deer but spooked too many coyotes for me. Think they make too much lens movement noise. Had too many deer come up to see what was going on and lots of coons climbing tree to see what the noise was.

U right mine is a G45NG. My understanding is there is a lens/filter something in most trail cameras that moves for the night pics. Some are more quite than others. That is my understanding based on some information someone that seemed to have more knowledge than me had shared with me. I will say bobcats react to cameras much less than coyotes. Don't know the difference between a G42 and G45 but they do hear a noise with the G45. I can't but the critters can.

Darned if I know?
I've had multiple pictures of fox, coyotes, coon and bear. Didn't seem to spook anything? I mean a lot of those pictures are just on trails and such.
One of my best spots is at a little mountain spring. My opinion, the camera doesn't make any sound. If it does, the critters don't seem to notice it.
Years ago, the first trail cam that I tried, it had a white flash, and it would spook game. Ate batteries like nobody's business, and weighed 5 pounds.
The Stealth cams that I mentioned above are small, no glow flash, and get very good mileage from a set of 8 AA batteries.
They'll do some fancy stuff, videos and all. I'll tell you when you've got 4 cameras working, getting from a couple to 20 or more pictures per day. A feller would need to take off 2 days per week to just view the videos. I have my cameras set where I'll get a pic every 30 seconds. And it takes a while to look at 2 weeks worth of pics. It takes me 45 minutes to drive to my first camera, and a 20 minute walk to get to the Spring Cam. I don't check them everyday.
