Ma wants to buy pa a game cam for x-mas. They get a fair amount of wildlife around their house and they'd like to see whats on the prowl, so to speak. She started asking me questions and I couldn't answer because I know nothing about them. So here's what she wants:

-Affordable (they're retired and on a budget)
-Waterproof (live on the Oregon coast)
-Simple to operate (don't want a lot of messing around with it to make it work)
-Able to take pics in the dark (don't want a flash going off every time the wind blows or the cat walks by)

Make some recommendations and if you have any tips, tricks or hacks to help them operate efficiently and take better pics, throw that out there too. Any help is appreciated!
