Game camera having camera control module

A game camera comprising:

• an image sensor;
• a motion sensor configured to detect game and generate a motion signal based on the detection of game;
• a light source configured to illuminate the game;
• a camera control system comprising a user interface including a user input and a display, the camera control system including a camera controller and a non-transitory tangible storage medium storing camera control instructions that, when executed by the camera controller, are configured to control operation of the image sensor, the motion sensor and the light source, wherein the camera control instructions are configured to, when executed by the camera controller, control the image sensor to capture an image of the game based on the motion signal from the motion sensor;
• and
• a housing supporting the image sensor, the motion sensor, the light source, the user input, and the display, the housing including mounting structure configured to mount the housing to a tree;
• wherein the display is concealed from the user when the display is supported by the housing, the display being selectively disconnectable from the housing to permit the user access to the display.

A camera comprising:

• an image sensor;
• a light source;
