Cellular trail cameras that don’t suck

Any recommendations?   Besides tactacams?  Have 4 of them and have been fairly pleased.   Anything out there worth a look this summer?  Have had horrible luck with Moultrie, stealth cam, muddy, wild game, covert.  Only interested in cellular cameras. 


Thanks!

That was a big help to him. I'm sure he'll be running out to get one of them ASAP!

I like my Browning. It stays strapped to the same Kentucky Coffeetree year round.

Tail Feathers

I don't use cellular cameras, but have had a Mediase game cam for over a year and it takes good pics.  Not the best, but maybe the best for the money. Sometimes it washes close night shots out some, but takes good night photos a bit further from that no glo flash.
I bought a second one but haven't used it yet.  It may be worth looking into on Amazon to see if the cell versions is well reviewed.  The prices seem right.  $40 for the non cell version I bough a week ago.  Example photo:

I run Cuddebacks.   If you're looking for high quality pictures to be sent to you phone you wouldn't like the Cuddebacks.   They send small files via text, they aren't bad, just not as good as what's on the card.   The ones you get via email are better, but still not like what is saved to the cards.  I personally don't care about that, if there are pictures I want to keep, I save them from the card when I pull them.  The advantage of the Cuddeback is you can run up to 24 cameras in one area on one cell plan.  One of the cameras is the home camera, the others send their pictures to it.   Then the home camera sends all the pictures to your phone and email.  As far as reliability goes I haven't had an issue in the two years I've had them.  If you want to see sample pictures that are sent to the phone pm me and I'll send you a couple.

I do buy alot from these guys. They have some good reviews, and the put every camera through a series of tests before offering it for sale. When I have had technical questions they have been great about answering them. https://www.trailcampro.com/

I don't monkey with the cellular cams.

But my Cuz runs Tactacam Reveal with superb results.

Another buddy runs Stealthcam, Simmons and Bushnell.  All of them seem to take good images.

Moultrie Edge, I swore off Moultries for years after faulty products....but these new edge cameras perform just as good as my tactacams.

RECONYX they are pricey but worth every penny. Plus they are American made and have a 5 year warranty. Mine have performed flawlessly.

Tactacams are the only ones I've had any luck with .
