Our daughter works for Calif. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, she says that they use them to monitor certain areas where illicit activities are occurring. And yes someone does scan the memory for images but that is done by LEOs or scientists and they don't watch the videos per say. It seems that most of their recordings are made in specific areas of illicit goings on and not a general, Lets set up a trail cam and see who we can catch.
I think that if asked, most LEOs on here would say the same thing and, that they would not give you any information specific to and investigation. It has been my experience that most folks using the DVRs, trail cams or what ever you want to call them are not on fishing expositions. A lot of them however are not very open and won't say anything at all. They have a misplaced sense of their own importance and that you don't need to know anything as important as their operations. Others will just say I can't tell you the exact purpose but it is part of an ongoing investigation. That is SOP.
There have been many times the media gets hold of stuff like this and blow it out of proportion !and! expose an ongoing secret investigation and ruin it. Like I said this is my experience.
