I think maybe the older cams were like that, maybe from the sound they made or maybe just from the way the flash was back them, I don't know. My Cuddebacks and Coverts are all white flash and I get multiple pictures of them just standing around. Nowadays most are LED's too- the only way to do videos at night. See my various videos here:

I get many of them looking at and even investigating the cameras, but they do that with my ir and black flash too. Predators are the only ones I've seen being startled by the white led videos especially yotes and especially at first, but even they have gotten used to them. The only cameras I didn't get that reaction right away was from was ErEagle's and I don't know if it's the type of light/bulbs they use or if the yotes were just used to my other ones so didn't care. Usually if I move one of those others they startle them at first though.
I agree with you on trespassers or if you're on public land, but I don't need to worry about that. Although it's possible someone trespassing and seeing flashes going off may think twice about trespassing? I'm not a trespasser so can't even get into the mind of them
