Deer move slow, cars don't.  The sensor in the trail camera isn't designed
to detect the much larger and usually much faster-moving target that an auto
would represent.

Better choice might be to use a video camera setup that uses motion
detection.  Given how large disk drives are these days it wouldn't be too
much data.

What are you trying to monitor?
