Looking for an inexpensive motion activated, night vision video camera

i need to record the activity of a cat in my house at night. so its a small, slow-moving target that needs to trigger the motion detection. all of the searches come back with cameras that have every bell and whistle i DO NOT NEED, OR WANT, in a price range i don't want to pay.

 

here is a long list of the only things that i need in this camera:

- night vision

- motion activation

- micro SD card slot

- wired connection to computer

- driver software so i can watch the video

 

here's what i DO NOT need:

- HD of any sort

- any kind of mini/micro/hidden/camoflage

- wifi

- blue tooth

- ethernet

- 2-way audio

- 1-way audio

- digital zoom

- any kind of zoom

- push notifications

- android / iphone monitoring

- any other unnecessary silliness

 

i bought this thing:

Are you a human?

 

but the instructions are entirely unintelligible.

the price was spot-on though

 

thanks for your help

Why not look at trail cameras? The lower MP versions are not too expensive & generally dead easy to use.

I second @Sandy Vongries . Although trail cameras aren't what you want because AFAIK they aren't made for PC connection. and maybe 4 times as expensive as what you got. (I own one and never used it yet, so no real expert.)

they aren't made for PC connection.

Wildview - even an OLD one - SD card & USB.

Yes, I agree with you.

If I had a time machine I would go back and buy WingHome trail cameras because I have had one that has been in the woods everyday since 2017, that is the bee's knees!

All in all, relatively low price, super high quality!
