Game camera question

I have property in the mountains that I am frequently away from. I have game cameras with invisible infra-red at night so that a prowler does not see the infra red and know where the cameras are. I have thousands of photos of the FBI stealing my stuff as they did not find the cameras. I have been gone for a couple years except to check my mail every month or so. So I check the cameras to see who came by. I'm not looking for deer, elk, chipmunks, or coyotes. So each camera has a 32 GB SD card. Lots of pictures of nothing. The wind blows and a branch moves and it takes a picture. In a good wind that is 60 pictures a minute. Times that by 4 cameras times a month. Tens of thousands of images to go through. It takes a long time. If there was a device that could view like 50 images a second, or maybe just 25 per second, just long enough for me to see if anything like a person or vehicle was in the view, I could zip through them quite rapidly. Viewing 30 frames per second would probably allow me to identify something and stop and back up for a better slower look.

Any ideas? I bet I am not the only one that wants one.

I thought about CCTV, but they have to be powered. A solar panel on a tree sticks out like a sore thumb.

I already have regular video cameras around the buildings, but thieves like the FBI take the computers, too, so they are worthless.

I am just about ready to go back and so I will be there which helps a lot, but I still need a quick way to view the images.

Should work for what you are trying to do if your camera is using jpeg.

That is slick. The link didn't work for some reason but I googled it and was able to download and install it. This is a big time saver. Thanks.

To 'save' more time, if you're ok with a bit of programming (or have a budget to hire someone) you could also run images through people-detection software (https://github.com/topics/people-detection, ie. https://github.com/m-dorgham/PedestrianTracking) and it have it compile a timestamped report. Man, what are FBI doing around private cabins anyway?

Someone forgot to tell the FBI that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. My second wife filed a restraining order against me 30 years ago. I didn't plan on visiting her anyway so I just forgot about it. Restraining orders do not expire. Ever! They claim that having a restraining order against you which was got without a hearing or the presentation of any evidence, over rides the Constitution and prevents gun ownership.
