    Default Best Cellular Trail Camera

    What trail cameras with cell service would y’all recommend? Which ones would you avoid?

    Had the first trespasser issue at our property, cost us a trail cam... Eff a trespasser and eff a thief. Pisses me off.

    I'm enjoying my moultrie. Go with the carrier that you have with your phone IF you get good service with it where you plan on putting them.

    Spy Points seemed to be super popular this year. I got 3 of them on sale and have had nothing but trouble out of all of them. They will randomly stop sending pictures and then start working some what. You can pull the card and there is always tons of pictures that were never sent. Friend of mine bought 7 of them and is having the same issues with at least 4 of them.
    Also plan to get a solar panel for what ever you buy because normal battery’s will only last 1-2 weeks

    I’ve Tried to get in touch with customer service multiple times never have had anyone pick up.

    I love the cameras when they work but Spy Point isn’t the Answer !

    Spartan. I bought one for our lease in IL and I’ll never buy another regular cam.

    I've got 5 Spypoints. They have all been flawless. Keep the firmware updated which is very simple and let them go. App is super easy to use and very easy to customize plans.

    2 of my 5 are the link evos with the other 3 being link micros. The evos are better.

    i have 2 spypoint link micros. No issues. 99.00 each. Would be nice to have video. free plan includes 100 pics a month. i paid 5.00 to get 50 HD pics via cell. you can go pull the card to get full resolution pics but i didnt get a cell camera to pull cards. also paid 10.00 for 1k pics this month. i use them for surveillance. im happy with'em.

    Spypoints are $15 per month unlimited photos, but drop down to $10 per month if you pay for a full year at one time

    forgot to mention, the link micro runs on 4 AA. I'm using lithium and they've been out a month. Still have 100% battery.

    Micro runs on 8 AA. It may work with only 4 though

    I had spypoint link micro. It was terrible. Nothing but problems. My buddy told me about his Moultrie and how it worked. Got two on sale and they’ve worked great. I’d just say get the one that has the best service in the area you plan on putting them out. Moultries data plan is more expensive than spypoint but since it actually works it’s worth it on my opinion

    I seen on Amazon where the Spartan cams come as a package with six microfiber towels of assorted colors. What the hell are the towels for?

    For those having battery issues, how often are you receiving photos? I have it setup to just send once a day and battery life hasn't been a problem.

    You’re obviously not an Auburn fan.
