So I know I have in the past said that the cheap knock off ebay wireless flash triggers are great and you should get them instead of the much more expensive Pocket Wizards, I now have to retract that endorsement. I have been processing my pics from the winter break, and almost all the shots taken with the cheapo wireless triggers are now showing RF interference at the top 1/8th or so of frame (depending on shutter speed). Some people say that replacing the battery will help, as a low bat in the transmitter will exacerbate the noise, but it makes them completely unreliable in my opinion. So, if you are in the market for wireless triggers, you get what you pay for. Don't buy the cheapies because you are just going to have to buy the expensive ones later.
I don't have a use for a flash trigger right now. What I want is a better remote shutter release than the IR one I have right now. It does okay inside, but outdoors it sucks.
I'd also like to figure out a way to trigger a camera's shutter with a motion sensor.

For motion sensor, I haven't tried it or seen it, but have you looked at the Zigview R? (A little write up of it here) It looks like you would need this cable with it as well, and once you have that cable, you should be able to use any of the flash / shutter radio triggers to trigger the shutter remotely.

You know hunters use trail cameras to document habits of deer. You can buy them through Cabellas or Bass Pro shops or on Ebay. They are usually self contained units though with a cheap digitial camera inside. Maybe you could get a cheap one and adapt it to your D200?
They also have some "home brew" trail camera kits which you could try, but you have to have some electronics know-how to put them together. A quick search of the internet found this little kit: http://www.snapshotsniper.com/Board.htm which might work for you. You would also probably need the Nikon MC-22 cable I mentioned in an earlier post. (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...mote_Cord.html)
