Make sure your camera is able to take a good picture in low light levels, if that would be the case. If not, MCM Electronics sells some VERY sensitive cameras for low-light situations. In such cases, black & white cameras do better due to their ability to amplify low light. Also, these sensitive cameras are SO sensitive that infared light can illuminate a pitch dark area. For close-in situations infared LEDs can provide enough light. For further out situations, they make infared light bulbs and flood lights.

Technology is the best way to catch a repeat vandal.

I think it is one of your close neighbors, upset somehow with your beautiful trees.

You should be determined to replant those trees. Not only do you deserve them, but when you catch the jerk knocking them down, you will be doing a service for the neighborhood.

Good Hunting
