Does anyone know what kind of camera traps they used on this programme?

Expensive ones

Exactly the answer I was going to give, but cheaper time release or triggered cameras are easily available. Quality so so at the cheaper end of the market, theft of unit also a risk if set in areas visited by homids.
Oops, sure they are around Edinburgh too though, with the hominids
Come across them all the time in my job
I've played around with a couple of different kinds but only cameras and separate recorders which are a bit figgety, not the all in one bushnell types. They might not be too expensive, I'll have a look around... though there ain't no birthday money Andrew!

This thread is introducing me to some intriguing new words .
While you were out, I think Paul C. mentioned this one on the thread about 'Lost land of the Tiger':

I don't know if that's the one they used in the programme though.

Yes - the bushnell trophy cams are the ones that were used on the programme. There are two versions - one with a built-in LCD viewer (more expensive) and one without. With Christmas and my 40th coming up, I have put the word out! There is also another brand of camera trap that I think they used for the wildcats on last week's Autumnwatch.
The only thing that concerns me is that they used loads of them on the programme, so it may need a great deal of luck to hit the jackpot (whatever that may be!) with just one.

Or you can bait with tuna can or fruit jam.
Interesting suggestion here: http://www.pinemarten.info/newsite/blog/?cat=11
Drag a dead rabbit through the forest and then leave the remains (with jam, peanut butter etc. on top) in front of your camera trap.
I suppose the only thing you would need to be careful of is not drawing predators into sensitive areas for ground nesting birds.
