I don't run the cellular version cameras, but Bushnell has been my go-to trail cams for years.  They provide quality pics and last for many years.  By the way Joey, trail cams are used for more than turkeys.

Yep , I caught a thief stealing cash out my dads desk in our shop with a trail cam .
Also found out a so called buddy was going behind my back on some public ground that he swore he wouldn't .

I run SPYPOINTs and Reveals. Live/Hate with the SPYPOINTs when you get them working they're great but when not they'll make a Saint cuss. I love the on demand HD pictures. Which are very good if looking on a bigger screen.
Reveals much much better and now that the better ones have the in demand and video I'm slowly switching over. Bubba

Can't contribute to this discussion on the cameras, but would only like to point out that there are states where the use of cameras that transmit real-time data/pics are illegal to use for hunting or scouting purposes.  Be sure of your state's regulations on their use.   :icon_thumright:

I was less than happy with the pictures from the Spypoint I ran this year for the Mennonite, I thought the picture quality was very poor. (Flex) Not sure if the higher priced models are any better but I would never buy one myself from what I saw. I would like to know if they look better on the card than they do from what they send, I never did get the card after the season.

If you're looking on a computer a little better but The HD pictures that I think you have to pay for Are some of the best I've seen. Bubba

Yes I do pretty much everything on PC I am not a huge fan of cell phones. Did you find that they actually sent you information live? I found even set to send them immediately that it would sometimes well most of the time take hours before you got notified. I will say I was impressed with how long the batteries lasted, I do not recall what kind AAA or AA I think but they lasted for several months.

Most were pretty quick actually within a few minutes and sometimes immediately. And then sometimes days later I'd get a few new pictures come through. Bubba

Have been running Tactacam(verizon) for several years now, ONLY issue I've had was I broke an antenna and customer service went above and beyond to repair. A friend has started using Spartan, they take fabulous pictures. Not sure on if he's had any issues.

Spartan has been good to me.  Only brand I have tried in cell cameras.
