Backyard Adventures
Whatever weird stuff shows up in my own yard that doesn't belong anywhere else — mostly wildlife, so far.

Assark Solar Trail Camera
Same camera as my camping pick, doing double duty in the backyard. I've had it pointed at the back lawn at night just to see what wanders through, and it's caught everything from a fox to more raccoons than I expected in Orangevale. Bluetooth wakes it and it switches over to WiFi so I can pull footage from inside the house without walking out to grab the card. Only real downside for yard use: sprinklers count as motion too, so be ready to scroll past a bunch of clips of your own lawn getting watered.
