Wireless Trail Cams

Unread postby Quest1001 » Tue May 05, 2020 1:11 pm

I used a Bushnell cell can for a couple years and it was a lot of fun to get the pics, but Verizon has dropped 3g and the cam doesn’t send pics anymore.

What are you guys using or recommend? There seems to be a lot of different price point cams and monthly payment options. I have Verizon if that matters.

At one point I was having trouble with spypoint and it turned out I just didn’t understand how it worked. It has been a great camera. They go on sale and its $10 a month for a 1000 photos.

Do you remember which model you gave? I didn’t realize they offered so many cell cams.

Check out the new Browning cell cams. I just bought two Verizon Defenders and they are great cams. Phade on here sells them. Contact him for prices if interested. https://pursuitoutdoors.com

He doesn't have them listed his website but can get them. The first batch sold out quickly.

Browning has two cell cam models. The Defender and the Pro Scout. The Pro Scout is a budget version of the Defender.

Check out the Spypoint Cell Link.... Its basically a wireless adapter for a trail camera that otherwise isn't mobile. New tech as of this year but I think I'm gonna get one and see how well they work.... Only about $80 and runs off of the Spypoint plans

I'm new to Cell Cameras but I recently bought a Spypoint Link Pro and I've liked it so far. There's a sale on them and a few other cams today on Camofire.

Thanks again for the heads up, I bought the link micro! I hope I get it before I head up north next weekend.

No problem. I plan on buying a few more in the next few months to add around some public places around me. $100 for a cell cam is a pretty nice deal to me.

I use MoultrieMobile cams. Anywhere from $120-$160. They also have moultrie modems that convert any moultrie camera built since 2015 into a cell cam. And the app is extremely easy to use. No emails or texts, you just set how often you want the camera to send you pics either immediately, 1, 2, 4, or 8 times a day and it’ll shoot a ping notification and it’s all in the app. Uses 4G Verizon. Not sure how long it’ll be before 5G becomes the new standard but I’m sure they’ll adapt.

I have a few moultries, I’ll have to check out the date they were made and see if the modem will work.

Hopefully Spypoint improved customer service. Sounded like it was absolutely horrible awhile back.

I hope so too. I just called stealth cam for some service questions and it was a great experience!
