I do not know abut a website for discussing the trail cam, but I have a recommendation.

I use a camera by Highlander sports. It is not cheap, probably one of the most expensive cameras I have seen at about $500, but dang, it's good! (They are coming out with a new model that will be about $150 or so less than this)

It is a infrared, digital camera. It has an infrared flash that does not spook game. You can not see the flash. Which I feel is important. I could be wrong, but a big buck that has something "explode" by him, might not be inclined to visit that site again.

Once again, I have been wrong before. But when you have a choice between a camera with a visible flash and one that has no visible flash, it is an easy choice.

Their customer service is great. I have had to send mine back for a minor problem, they replaced a part and returned it, no charge. A friend of mine had his damaged in a hail storm. They fixed it, no charge.

www.highlandersports.com Look for the PhotoSpy digital camera, they make a few different models, only one is infrared.

I am about to order my second one.

go to Jesses' Hunting Pages, he has by FAR the most knowledgeable trail cam stuff!

I'm at my work computer, I'll post the link later on this evening when I get home.

I have Red Deer, Aoudad, Axis, Whitetail, Mule Deer and unfortunately, Pigs.

I use the game camera to monitor the growth and numbers of my animals. I see how much the Pigs eat, the antler development of the Stags etc. Since I can not get close enough to any of the game to see development, the photos are a great way to see what is happening.

There are animals on the game camera I have never seen in person.

This should give you an idea of the quality, range etc. this camera is capable of.

I use Camtrakkers and have been very pleased. They are easy to operate and take quality pictures--even at night. From what I understand, it's the night pics that give a 35mm cam an advantage over their digital counterparts.
Anyway, here are a few pics I've taken with mine:

You might start here . Jesse has a nice website and is a good friend -- though, like so many of my friends anymore, I've never met him in person. He is a good guy though, sent me care packages in Iraq, and has a genuine interest in helping people. If you can't find what you need at his website, drop him a line and tell him I sent you. I'm sure he'll do everything he can to get you pointed in the right direction.

Good luck.

Russ
