        False triggers are almost always caused by the wind. Mounting the cam higher than 3 feet increases the chance of wind false triggers . That being said ,using a sturdy tree is important, as swaying of the tree by windy conditions will surely increases false triggers. Using a sturdy pole is a good option. Blowing or moving weeds also could be the culprit, so clearing all weeds , and or branches should also help your situation.. All brands of cams are susceptible to wind false triggers .We currently are running 20 cameras on approximately 600 acres , and usually we have some false trigger issues to deal with , and for the most part , correcting the above matters cures all .. Good luck , I hope this helps you out ..
