Camera Orientation

[Outdoor Enthusiast]

I think I recall seeing someone state that orienting a camera to face North is ideal. However, I would like everyone's opinion.

I have a place that is limited to a South facing camera only that I want to try, but not if I end up getting pics washed out, etc.

East and west are the worst followed by south. I face most of mine somewhat to the north. I've had washed out pics from a WSW facing camera. During the winter I'd expect more false trigger and washed out pics from south facing cams because the sun is lower in the winter.

If possible, place your south-facing cams higher and pointed downward for better results.

Both Catman529's and Wes' advice is sound.
