Cellular trail cameras

[festering]

Who uses them and which ones do you like?

I have a Spartan and a Snyper. The Snyper is 3G and won't work past December. The Spartan GSM is a winner, but you have to buy a prepaid data plan as well as their monthly service tokens.

Not the best picture but Spypoint Micro S LTE. Solar charges the unit, cellular sends pictures. No video but does a good job. I don't have to replace batteries. My favorite corn thief. Just bought a 2nd one for $129. Unlimited pictures $15 a month. They also have a free plan.

My buddy uses Spypoint, but with any of them you need to be able to send & recive a signal. Being in east tx, we have lots of big drops in elevation, along with a lot of trees. You need to be on the top of a hill with a clearing to get a good signal.

Correct. They have ATT and Verizon models. You need to make sure the model you buy will work at your location. So, a cell phone at the location to check. I guess 2 cell phones, one ATT and one Verizon.

As long as you have 2 bars on your phone, you'll be good for reception.

Down here in the southern part of the county, sometimes you are lucky to get one bar of reception. Two is a really great day.

When we 1st moved out here, we had Tmobile... no signal once we turned on the county rd. We had to switch to Verizon to get 1-2 bars...lol.

This is the answer.
Be sure you get a 4g unit. Or come next year. You have an overpriced camera.

I need to find a battery pack and solar charger for mine. I plan on making a setup similar to this. I think mounting it on a t-post might be a bit more convenient.

Hogs would knock that over in short order.
T-post or tree is the way to go.

I use a Stealthcam mounting stick ($20) backed up by tpost. Solar needs to point south. No trees near my site. Very stable and easily adjustable.

What about battery life or does everyone gravitate to a solar set-up?

Mine go months with thousands of pix

I have enough things in life to frustrate me. I don't need a cell cam adding to it. Seems all the utube folks was always tinkering with theirs to get to work.

I could see myself freaking out and kicking it out into the bush after it pissed me off.

I stick with my Browning's and a monthly loop around the property.

Cell phone reception where I'm at is hit or miss at times. I doubt we could get good service from a cellular game camera.

I have to run a cell booster in my house. So, I know I'll loose my chit over a cell cam out in the bush.
